Rochester Institute of Technology

ROC the Day for RIT! As one of Rochester's oldest and largest universities, we are proud to be part of this outstanding community effort because we believe that higher education is one of the most important ways we can continue to lift up our community. Rochester Institute of Technology is internationally recognized for academic leadership in computing, engineering, imaging science, sustainability, and fine and applied arts. In addition, it offers unparalleled support services for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. RIT currently enrolls more than 19,000 full- and part-time students in more than 200 career-oriented and professional programs. RIT's Vision - To lead higher education in preparing students for innovative, creative, and successful careers in a global society. RIT's Mission - To provide a broad range of career-oriented educational programs with the goal of producing innovative, creative graduates who are well-prepared for their chosen careers in a global society. The RIT community engages and motivates students through stimulating and collaborative experiences. We rigorously pursue new and emerging career areas. We develop and deliver curricula and advance scholarship and research relevant to emerging technologies and social conditions. Our community is committed to student success and diversity, and is distinguished by our innovative and collaborative spirit. Internal and external partnerships expand our students' experiential learning. RIT is committed to mutually enriching relationships with alumni, government, business, and the world community. Teaching, learning, scholarship, research, innovation, and leadership development for promoting student success are our central enterprises. RIT's Ranking- For more than two decades, U.S. News & World Report has ranked RIT among the nation's leading comprehensive universities. RIT is also featured in The Princeton Review of Best Colleges as well as its Guide to Green Colleges. The Fiske Guide to Colleges has named RIT as a ‘Best Buy,' and The Chronicle of Higher Education has recognized RIT among the "Great Colleges to Work For." In addition, RIT's cooperative education program is one of the oldest and largest in the nation. Your gift to RIT on ROC the Day - Any gift received on ROC the Day will be directed to areas of greatest need at the university. For example, scholarship dollars are critical today when more than 75% of our students need help to reach their educational dreams. Also, our colleges - nine now with the addition of the College of Health Sciences and Technology - need to keep up labs and equipment so that our students get the experiential, hands-on opportunity to learn that is a basic element of an RIT education.
