Keith Cahalane inducted into Epsilon Pi Tau national honor society

2015 Jun 10

Nineteen students and eight faculty members from Rochester Institute of Technology's National Technical Institute for the Deaf were recently inducted into the college's first national honor society, Epsilon Pi Tau. This is the first EPT chapter in the nation dedicated to deaf and hard-of-hearing students.

Keith Cahalane was inducted into the honor society.

Stephen Aldersley, NTID's associate vice president for academic affairs noted that, "Epsilon Pi Tau's goals of promoting academic excellence and professional contributions to the advance of technology are a perfect fit for NTID. At RIT's recent graduation ceremony, several of the inductees proudly sported the society's blue, white and gold ribbon as they received their degrees. Membership in the society will be a significant addition to their r?sum?s and I am confident that future students, aspiring also to become members, will strive to achieve commensurate academic success."

Epsilon Pi Tau, the international honor society for professions in technology, was founded in 1928 as a Greek letter fraternity to recognize leaders and potential leaders in industrial arts and industrial vocational education. Today, Epsilon Pi Tau recognizes academic excellence of students in fields devoted to the study of technology and the preparation of practitioners for the technology professions. Epsilon Pi Tau also extends the honor of membership and advancement activities to outstanding practitioners in the technology professions, scholars with exemplary research interests in technology in society and/or persons who have significantly supported or advanced technology professions.
