What we are about…
Connect is a group of students from RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences who work to connect prospective and current students, staff/faculty, and alumni with what is going on in the School of Media Sciences. We hope from our site, you can preview organizations, guest speakers and presentations, and activities that go on here at RIT. The staff members are all involved with various organizations and groups, hoping to give you an inside look at the School of Media Sciences.

Megan Cooper
Editor-in-Chief
I am a third year Media Arts and Technology student with a minor in Digital Business from Buffalo, NY. I joined Connect in the spring of 2014 to help with the team’s Imagine RIT project. When I’m not playing with technology I love to go on adventures, work out, and take photos. I am also a sister of the Zeta Tau Alpha Fraternity on campus. You can usually find me in the OPL, at the gym or grabbing a coffee from Artesano’s.
Brianna Juda
Director of Marketing Communications and Student Engagement
I’m a third year Media Arts and Technology student with a minor in Advertising and Public Relations. I joined Connect in the fall of 2014. Besides my involvement with Connect, I am a member of the National Society for Collegiate Scholars and the Digital Content Manager for the Center for Campus Life. In my spare time, you can find me roaming around the streets of downtown, playing tennis, or listening to live music. If you’re a fan of cats, anything Disney related, Warped Tour, or cowgirl boots we will most likely become best friends.
Hayden Wager
Director of Communication and Liaison-ation
I joined the Connect group in the fall of 2014. I am a fourth year Media Arts and Technology student. I like to think of my life as one big anime story and I am the lead character. Sometimes I clip one of my fingernails too short, but life is good and I love a good T.V. series and peanut butter. You can most likely find me in a Denny’s untangling ear buds. Favorite quote: “I am the Lizard King, I can do anything!” – Jim Morrison
