Rose Rustowicz Named #RIT Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar

2014 Apr 21

Rose Rustowicz, daughter of Paula M. Battistella of Cheektowaga, N.Y. and Bob Rustowicz of Cheektowaga, N.Y., was named a 2013-2014 Outstanding Undergraduate Scholar during a ceremony April 10 at Rochester Institute of Technology.

Rose is a third-year student in the Imaging Science - BS program in RIT's College of Science.

Outstanding Undergraduate Scholarship Awards are presented to students who have achieved the distinction of maintaining a minimum university grade point average of 3.85 out of a possible 4.0 and completed at least 125 quarter credit hours of study, nearly two-thirds of the credit hours required for a baccalaureate degree. Selection is also based on other factors complementing academic achievement, such as creative work, service on student committees, civic activities, employment and independent research.

Each RIT scholar receives a bronze medallion representing the traditional symbols for wisdom and respect -- the Athenian owl and the olive branch.

Congratulations, Rose!
