Yet another fun filled Staff Appreciation Day & Community Picnic!

Around 1850 people attended the picnic; 600 pounds of meat was served; and we went through 300 pounds of potato salad!

We hope that everyone enjoyed their time away from the office, a delicious lunch, and the opportunity to sit back and mingle with others. The long lines for ice cream and the photo booth demonstrated their popularity. We really hoped you enjoyed the Segway rides and Magic Guy too. We were glad the weather cooperated for Bob Howie Memorial Classic Car Display.

Your Role in Student Retention

Posted Fri, 04/12/2013 - 8:23am by Kurt Ingerick

Over the years I have heard some staff members say that they wished they could play a bigger role in RIT’s retention efforts. I’m always surprised that many staff don’t acknowledge the role they play everyday just by fulfilling their basic job responsibilities. Whether it’s ensuring that a maintenance request is completed quickly and efficiently or offering a simple ‘thank you’ when a student is purchasing their lunch.

Student Leave of Absence Policy - New and Improved Coming Soon

Posted Mon, 04/01/2013 - 8:51am by Jennifer McDyer

Hello Everyone!

 

This year, Dr. Destler charged the Student Success Steering Committee with looking into the Student Leave of Absence (LOA) Policy with the intention of ensuring that the implementation of the policy still supports student success and also counts them correctly based on new counting methods. This policy is very important to the success of our students and their progression in their degrees, and there are real consequences to taking an LOA for the student and RIT.

Would it help if you could learn some signs to communicate more easily with our deaf students and colleagues?

Would it help if you could learn some signs to communicate more easily with our deaf and hard of hearing students and colleagues?  Did you know that the entire RIT community has access to an ASL/English sign language video dictionary?
