RIT’s Innovation and Creativity Festival is coming up on Saturday, May 7. 

Imagine an event that showcases the wide array of talent, skills and innovation - exhibited by the RIT community.  Imagine thousands of people coming to this event.  Imagine the RIT campus alive with the sights sounds and smells of a community festival.  This was Dr. Destler’s dream just a few short years ago.  It is now a reality.
