RIT 365

At the core of RIT 365 is the Plan-Do-Reflect Cycle. Facilitators will lead you through a series of experiential opportunities and dialogue. You will encounter and practice professional competencies such as creativity, communication, collaboration, critical thinking and self-awareness.

Plan

Your team will meet weekly to develop a plan to engage in an active learning experience. Planning includes anticipating potential challenges you may encounter in your active learning experience as well as new skills they hope to gain.

Do

Your team will engage in an active learning experience in the week following your planning week. Learning experiences may be completed as an entire team, in small groups, or independently. Examples of learning experiences include engaging in community service, connecting with students on RIT Global campuses, participating in a university event, and interacting with faculty, students, and staff across campus.

Reflect

You will reconvene the week following active learning experiences to reflect on the experience. Conversations will include receiving and providing feedback from each other and from your facilitator, identifying the value of experiences to the individual and the group, making a plan for how this experience informs future decision-making, and documenting the competencies you gained from the experience.

Super Speakers

Once during the semester, inspiring RIT community members will share the story of their competency-building process with you.

Coaching

You will meet individually with each of your Facilitators to enhance your self-awareness through reflection on your first-year experience.

Portfolio

You will begin to curate a portfolio that documents your skills and experiences. RIT 365 portfolios help you to establish an ongoing inventory of the skills you build while at RIT.
