Tommy Kane- He’s Got Game!

Hello.

My name is Tommy Kane and I am a first-year Graduate student at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I received my undergraduate degree in Management from the same school in 2019. I am originally from Syracuse, New York. I have two jobs on campus, and both of them involve sports. I am a statstician for the Athletics Department, which means that I assist the Sports Information Director during the games by recording statistics for the Athletics website. Also, I work for WITR 89.7 on a radio talkshow about the hockey team here at RIT. The pre and post-game show is called Tiger Tailgate and I use my expertise to talk about the upcoming games and about the prior games. I enjoy this because it is fun to do and there is always something different when it comes to hockey. This past summer, I worked at a cold storage logistics company called Americold Logistics, where I was a Operations Intern. I was tasked with developing a program, called Direct Put Away, that would tell the forklift operators where to put the inbound freight. This was a fun experience for me because I got to see how a real-world business operates and what the dynamics are.

Now, you know just a little more about me!

Adrianna Wellin

Adrianna Wellin, RIT MBA Candidate

Hi there, my name is Adrianna Wellin and I’m from Churchville, NY. I just recently completed my bachelor’s degree in New Media Marketing at the Rochester Institute of Technology in May of 2020. I am now pursuing my MBA, also at RIT, with a concentration in Digital Marketing.

Over the course of my undergraduate degree I completed two co-ops. The first, as an undergraduate research assistant for Dr. Neil Hair, Director of RIT’s Innovative Learning Institute. In this position I designed a qualitative research study to identify critical attributes of website quality including design, functionality, and usability. My second co-op I completed at Dixon Schwabl Advertising as a New Business Intern where I worked on an integrated marketing strategy for a non-profit client account utilizing re-branded social media, public relations tactics, and future digital media investment opportunities. Although I learned a lot from both positions, they weren’t exactly the right fit for me. 

Through my experience as a member of Delta Sigma Pi, a co-ed professional business fraternity which I joined my sophomore year of college, I learned I have a much larger passion for helping create an impact on the community and building strong, lasting relationships. Even when I was younger, I’ve always believed that an individual’s ability to influence those around them and spark change is extremely powerful. Therefore, creating a lasting impact on the community around you, in my opinion, is the most valuable way to spend your life. That’s my dream job and in the future I hope to find a position that allows me to make a larger impact.
