Experience the Future

Welcome to Imagine RIT. Are you ready to explore?

Our festival is now in its sixth year, establishing itself as both a campus and a Rochester tradition. We have had more than 140,000 visitors since the festival began in 2008. Thank you for being a part of this extraordinary event today.

As you wander RIT, you will discover a university of artists and designers on the one hand, and scientists, engineers, and business leaders on the other. We like to call it a collision of the right brain and the left brain.

You have your choice of experiencing hundreds of exhibits and displays today. This year’s festival promises to deliver new discoveries sparked by ingenuity among students, faculty, and staff.

Imagine RIT has opportunities for everyone. This is an interactive festival. So don’t be afraid to try something and ask the exhibitors lots of questions. They love questions!

The festival’s mission goes beyond showcasing the thriving RIT campus. The festival is designed to show what can be accomplished when smart, talented people with diverse strengths work together to solve complex societal problems. Innovation is one of our country’s most competitive and strategic advantages.

Finally, we’d like to thank our premier sponsor, Time Warner Cable, and all our other sponsors (see list on cover) for making today possible.

Enjoy your day of discovery. And don’t forget to return next year: May 3, 2014.

Cordially yours,

Bill Destler
President
