Rochester —
The Rochester Institute of Technology announced its 2012 Public Service Award recipients on Thursday, Jan. 26.
RIT's Four Presidents Distinguished Public Service Award will be given to Steven Morse, the school's assistant vice president of institute audit, compliance and advisement. Morse graduated from RIT's E. Philip Saunders College of Business in 1986 and began working with the university in 2004. He currently serves on the National Technical Institute for the Deaf Foundation Board, the PEPNet Northeast Advisory Board and the Saunders College of Business Accounting Advisory Board, in addition to volunteering with RIT's K-12 prep programs and the Fund for RIT.
Off-campus, Morse has served as a board member for the Rochester School for the Deaf for 13 years, and also volunteers with the New York Museum of Transportation, Shepherd Home and Susan B. Anthony House.
NTID President Gerard Buckley said in a press release, "We have had numerous discussions on the status of deaf education, and I respect [Morse's] perspectives as the parent of a deaf child. But Steve is far from an armchair quarterback offering opinions. He is an active participant who sees areas where there is a need and offers his significant expertise and time. Additionally, Steve's record of services to the greater Rochester community is outstanding."
Imaging science doctoral student David Kelbe will receive the school's Bruce R. James '64 Distinguished Service Award. Kelbe received his bachelor's degree in imaging science in 2010. He has served as a teacher, mentor and financial supporter for the St. Matthews Orphanage Center, in Myanmar, for more than two years. He also volunteers at Dimitri House and Mary's Place, in addition to his duties as a TA and mentor at RIT.
Loret Steinberg, associate professor of photojournalism, said in a press release, "The love of the orphan children changed David's whole outlook on life. Everything that he does now, from school, to leisure to service, is permeated by a desire to share that same generous, self-giving love he found in Myanmar."
Both recipients will receive their awards at a ceremony at 4 p.m. March 20 in the college's Ingle Auditorium, located in the Student Alumni Union. Daniel Meyers, president of the Al Sigl Center, will give a keynote speech on the importance of public service.
The Four Presidents Distinguished Public Service Award is given annually to RIT faculty or staff members whose public service reflects the commitment of the four presidents who worked with award founder Alfred Davis. The Bruce R. James '64 Distinguished Public Service Award is given annually to an RIT in memory of the public service commitment of RIT board of trustees chairman Bruce James.
