New president wants feedback from alumni, students, faculty and staff
RIT President Destler looking for feedback from the Community
President Destler wants feedback from the RIT community. What are your thoughts on creating an Innovation Festival at RIT? How about a corporate R&D center on campus?
Destler plans to share his ideas and engage the RIT family through a series of videos entitled “Conversations with President Destler.” The videos will be available to view on the Office of the president’s Website. He will also be visiting dozens of alumni chapters throughout the United States during the 2007-2008 academic year.
Destler became president of RIT on July 1. He is the ninth president in the university’s 178-year history. He was formerly senior vice president for academic affairs and provost of the University of Maryland at College Park.
