Structurally sound teaching
photo

Pike Co. has donated a structure that will aid the study of RIT civil engineering technology students. The 'Teaching Structure,' located at the west entrance of the new College of Applied Science and Technology building, will allow students to obtain a true visual understanding of steel framing and steel connections used in commercial, industrial and bridge construction.

RIT Staff Council hosted its third yearly Classic Car Display May 28 as part of the 12th annual Staff Appreciation Day and Community Picnic. Fifty classic 'rides' owned by RIT employees, retirees, trustees, alumni and students, along with specialty vehicles such as the RIT Formula and Baja cars and the RIT "Chopper," were displayed. Above, Charlie Lowe, right, chats with a visitor about Lowe's 1930 Ford Model A Coupe, which he drives daily.

RIT retiree Bob Howie organized the classic car display. The show included his '66 Chevelle SS-396, which he has owned for 40 years.

The day also featured a variety show that included a banjo performance by President Bill Destler.
