2014 May 13

Brendan Arel, son of Matthew Arel of Brookline, N.Y. and Jennifer Boucher of Amherst, N.Y., has been accepted into the Honors Program at Rochester Institute of Technology. Brendan is a first-year student in the mechanical engineering technology program in RIT's College of Applied Science and Technology.

Designed around three basic ideals of Leadership, Scholarship and Citizenship, the Honors Program is for students who seek to challenge themselves in exemplary learning experiences such as undergraduate research projects, honors seminars, and study abroad; who wish to extend and share their knowledge through participation in professional associations and conferences; and who hope to join other outstanding students and faculty in a wide range of special activities throughout the year, including field trips, social events, and community service projects. Honors activities and courses are designed to enhance the professional dimension of the student's collegiate experience. The major components of the Honors Program include professional opportunities within the student's home college, enhanced general education courses, and complementary learning experiences.

Congratulations, Brendan!
