Meet Kim Ngo this Student Feature Friday! Hometown: Shakopee, MN Grad Year: 2022... Major: Human Centered Computing Minor: Management Information Systems Image text: I absolutely love the community and atmosphere at RIT. There is something for everyone, from teams and organizations dedicated to bitcoin and e-sports to spikeball and more. I was into rock climbing, tennis, and graphic design before attending RIT and I quickly found clubs, and great friends, on campus that shared these interests. I also picked up new hobbies by joining juggling club, club hockey, and recently an electronic vehicle team!
