Another ROARing success
photo

RIT President Bill Destler kicked off the university’s Raise Our Annual Responses initiative on Oct. 25. ROAR Day activities took place across campus to encourage faculty, staff and students to make an annual gift to RIT. This year’s event raised more than $21,000. To enhance its success, Destler and his wife, Rebecca Johnson, pledged a dollar-for-dollar match of all student donations made during ROAR Day.

Jerry Greenfield, left, co-founder of Ben & Jerry’s, visited RIT’s Scoop Shop Sept. 14. Students, faculty and staff lined up to meet Greenfield, get his autograph and enjoy some of his ice cream. At one point, the line stretched outside the Student Alumni Union doors. RIT’s Ben & Jerry’s shop, located in the lobby of the Student Alumni Union, opened on Feb. 14, 2002.
