On behalf
of the Rochester Institute of Technology Board of Trustees and the
university community, welcome to Commencement 2009. This promises
to be an exciting time as we celebrate the accomplishments of our
graduates from our eight colleges.
Our commencement celebration consists of two ceremonies. At the
Academic Convocation on Friday, May 22, 2009, RIT will recognize
the accomplishments of our graduates from all eight colleges by
officially conferring degrees. During the Convocation, the Commencement
Speaker will deliver the 2009 Commencement Address. We will acknowledge our outstanding teachers and
students graduating with honors, and all students will be recognized
collectively by their college. By recognizing the excellence of
our faculty and students, we spotlight RIT tradition, university
pride and community spirit.
Our college commencement ceremonies held on both Friday, May 22,
and Saturday, May 23, 2009, will recognize the graduates individually.
We're proud of our students - they are the heart of this university.
We feel the Academic Convocation and the accompanying college commencement celebration will be a culminating experience for graduates, families and friends; a capstone of their time at RIT; and a fitting finale to years of hard work and sacrifice.
Join us for this memorable and happy occasion!
Dr. William W. Destler
President
