Member of first junior class on Henrietta campus
RIT Archive Collections
In 1968, RIT moved from downtown Rochester to its new campus in Henrietta. The campus, under construction here, was dedicated during homecoming weekend.
I started at RIT in 1966 at the downtown campus. I loved the experience of going to college in a downtown environment. I made many new friends and had a wonderful time.
I was in the first class on the new campus in Henrietta as a junior. They were still building and adding things as we went to class. I had the opportunity to work at the new student union in the bowling alley and billiard room. I’ll never forget my experiences at both the downtown campus and Henrietta campus.
