Always thinking beyond the expected

Robofish is just one example of the multidisciplinary and synergistic strategy RIT applies to virtually every endeavor.

We’ve long since removed the blinders of discipline-centric approaches to research, methodology, and making that tend to limit thinking and restrict the possibilities inherent within the process of discovery.

It’s at these intersections where engineering and biology meet, computing collides with theatre, or the study of digital activities crosses into the humanities that surprising breakthroughs happen.

And they happen at RIT every day. It’s this type of commitment to innovation, creativity, and collaboration that furthers our goal of being an outstanding student-centered national research university.

Enthusiastic, collaborative, and always open to new ideas. That’s RIT.

Because here,
we’re always thinking beyond the expected.
