Leadership in Action

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Mei Qi, who has been elected to the Rochester Regional Library Council Board of Trustees. Her interim term will run until June 2026, paving the way for a full-term election next July. The Council plays a vital role in serving libraries across multiple counties, enhancing cooperation and resource sharing benefitting the entire community, including RIT Libraries.

Empowering Future Generations

In an inspiring showcase of mentorship, thirty young women participated in the Girls Professional Development Day, facilitated by Sandra Whitmore from RIT. This program, held at the Golisano Institute for Business and Entrepreneurship, provided invaluable workshops and one-on-one mentoring sessions. Participants explored their future aspirations and received essential insights into achieving their goals, contributing to the empowerment of the next generation of leaders.
