Rochester Institute of Technology’s Brick City Homecoming is going digital. For the first time, RIT’s more than 100,000 alumni around the world will have the opportunity to experience Brick City Homecoming festivities through the Internet.
Live blogging and photo and video streams will be available throughout the weekend at RIT's Alumni Association website. RIT staff and a student team from Timeline, RIT’s yearbook, will swarm the campus in search of the best news and information to relay back to alumni watching on the Internet. Alumni are encouraged to engage in the live blogging conversation, which will offer an opportunity to reconnect with classmates and reminisce about old times.
Events slated for coverage include the President’s Alumni Ball, the annual Golden Circle lunch (for alumni from 1958 and prior years) and the Alumni Festival, which features music by Herb Gross & The Invictas and 50/50.
