Former RIT/NTID President T. Alan Hurwitz has released a new autobiography.
T. Alan Hurwitz, former president of Rochester Institute of Technology’s National Technical Institute for the Deaf and Pittsford, N.Y., resident, details his experiences with leadership, family life, and advocacy as a Deaf individual in a newly published memoir,
Let’s Go In: My Journey to a University Presidency.
According to Hurwitz, NTID president from 2008 to 2013 and president emeritus of Gallaudet University, the memoir tells the story of turning points and life lessons he hopes will serve as a guide for younger generations of Deaf people and encourage them to aim for their highest goals. The forward was written by RIT President Emeritus Albert Simone, and the book title pays homage to Hurwitz’s wife of 55 years, Vicki, who upon their arrival at Gallaudet dispelled all doubts about pursuing this next opportunity by proclaiming, “Let’s go in!”
