Imagine RIT exhibits honored
Companies highlight unique exhibits at annual festival
The “Non-Invasive Physiological Monitoring Technologies” Imagine RIT team was recognized by Xerox.
This year at Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival on May 5, eight local and national companies recognized exhibits they found particularly interesting and innovative.
Since Imagine RIT’s inception, sponsoring companies receive award ribbons to distribute to exhibits as a way for them to explore and participate in the campus-wide festival. The awards are not necessarily given to exhibits that are directly related to the company or the company’s field. Instead, they highlighted what the team of representatives think is unique.
