Imagine RIT

Posted on by under Events

Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival is a campus-wide event that showcases the innovative and creative spirit of RIT students, faculty and staff. Visitors experience the breadth and depth of RIT through interactive presentations, hands-on demonstrations, exhibitions, and research projects set up throughout campus. Inflatables, games and multiple performance stages with live music and entertainment are also a hit with visitors of all ages. Held annually each spring, Imagine RIT is the annual kickoff to Rochester’s rich festival season.

Students in the Photojournalism program covered the event publishing photos to the website RIT Image Nation live throughout the day. Here at NPPA we wanted to showcase some of the best work from the site.
