Robert Tomenchok

My name is Robert Tomenchok, I am a graduate student studying for my master’s in business administration (MBA) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) and I will be graduating in the spring of 2024. My bachelor’s degree was also at RIT in the School of Engineering as an Electrical Engineer. While at the University I also received a minor in American Sign Language (ASL) and participated as a player and later a coach for the RIT Men’s Club Soccer team.

I have worked at two companies for about 16 months total, 8 per company. The first company was Marquardt Switches in their R&D Lab as an intern working with electromechanical switches through various failure tests, repairing circuit board components, and directly working with project managers and engineers on new projects in the lab. At Marquardt I was involved in some respect with everything that came into the lab, this allowed me to work with a variety of other employees on their projects. The second company was BAFCO Inc., an Assistant Electrical Engineer working on new product development and design. During this time, I was able to design an op-amp tester that would test 12 op-amps continuously so that any that were needed to go in equipment would be working properly.

I find time to continue to be involved in the Boy Scout community and Tomenchok Farms, my family’s farm in NJ.

Noah the Sharp-eyed Digital Marketer!

Greetings, and welcome to this! Noah D. Blankenship is the name I proudly sport. With my Deaf eyes, I regard myself as a sharp-eyed digital marketer with versatile successes. I arrived at Rochester Institute of Technology in Fall 2015, with no idea what I wanted to pursue. I started as an accounting major in Spring 2016, which ended after my first and last accounting internship. I realized that I was too much of a “people person” to stay in a cubicle for hours a week. 

Following that internship, I studied abroad in Zagreb, Croatia, for four months. There, I had many adventures with my study abroad group, and I realized that a Business Management major would be a better fit for me. I did not declare my minor until my second to last semester in my undergraduate studies. Advertising and Public Relations were something that drew my attention in the last year of undergraduate studies, leading my decision to continue my studies with an MBA in Digital Marketing. 

During the summer before my start of MBA studies, I worked at Prudential as a Product Management Intern in their newly found accessibility technology project. I spoke on the panel at the VOICE Summit during summer 2019, representing Prudential, and talked about my experience with accessibility technology. 

Fast-forward to the Fall 2020 semester, I am in my last semester of MBA studies, figuring out what I plan to do next. I invite you to learn more about my other achievements and involvements at and outside of RIT.

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!
