Reuben Brenner-Adams of Ithaca, N.Y., son of Claudia Brenner and Joshua Adams, was named a 2015-2016 Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar at Rochester Institute of Technology. Reuben is a fourth-year student in the game design and development program in RIT's B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences .

The awards, a bronze medallion, were given in ceremonies on April 7 to those students who have met the scholarship criteria -- a minimum grade-point average of 3.85 out of 4.0; completion of more than two-thirds of the credit hours required for a bachelor's degree and demonstrated community engagement, such as creative work, serve on student committees, civic activities, employment or independent research.

"RIT is pleased to pay tribute to these undergraduates whose demonstrated devotion to excellence is an inspiration to the university community," said Jeremy Haefner, RIT provost and senior vice president of Academic Affairs, who presented the scholars to President Bill Destler and RIT deans at the ceremony in Gordon Field House.
