Invitation to Participate in the Imagine RIT Global Competition

RIT has always been a synonym for creativity, innovation, tech and the future; after all, the university signature event is the popular Imagine RIT festival that celebrates those very traits. The festival brings RIT closer to its local community as masses from Rochester area come to the campus each spring to witness creative and innovative work and ideas of RIT students, faculty and staff. This is a whole day event that takes place each spring semester at the main campus, and this year it will take place on April 29, 2023. To better understand what the event is about, please watch the video.

Even though the work of global campuses' Tigers has been represented at the festival in the previous years, this year RIT is organizing a special competition for RIT global campuses' students, and the best of the best will showcase their work at the premier location at Imagine RIT!!
