Throughout the country, food
insecurity at many
universities is a major
concern that has been made
worse by the pandemic. A
recent study shows that up to
half the nation’s college
students have faced some
level of food insecurity and
often go without meals.
This is why RIT has launched
a crowdfunding campaign to
support RIT’s FoodShare
program and to end food
insecurity at RIT.
Tigers, because of you, RIT had its most
successful ROAR Day ever! Check out the
impact you and your fellow alumni made, as
well as our challenge winners.
