00:00:00SURABHA SINGH: Hello, my name is Surabha Singh. I'm a student here at RIT. Uh,
today's date is the 21st October, 2022. The question I plan to answer today is,
"As a person of color attending a predominantly white institution, what are your
experiences--have been like as a student or employee at RIT?" So, as a person of
color, I have not experienced any sort of racism till now. I have been treated
very nicely, and especially at RIT and on campus. And, even from communicating
to in classes or sitting in the common area, I have not felt like I don't belong
here. At all.
SURABHA SINGH: And I'll also answer: "Why was it important for me to participate
in this event today?" I understand the...uh, concept of RIT Archive and how
important it is to showcase your own story. And have it like, an archive, for
future reference or for future students. And, recording your own experience at
RIT as a…as a person of color. It can be quite...showcasing of how things are at
current time, in 2022, how things are as of right now. So yeah, these are the
two questions I'm trying to answer today. And, I have actually, my experience
has been really good at RIT. And, I expect it to be like this for the entirety
of the duration and [unintelligible]. That's all. Thank you.
