again. The team won its second-straight NCAA
Division III National Title on May 29, 2022
beating Union College 12-10. This was the
Lacrosse team’s fourth National Championship

2013, 2017, and 2021.
More than 4,300 graduates
celebrated earning their
degrees at RIT’s commencement
ceremony on May 6, 2022. Each
of the more than 4,300
graduates this year from RIT

achievement, be excited about
what is next in their lives,
and remember—with grace—what
it took to get to this
milestone.

Gaming Society have built a
digital version of the RIT
campus in the video game
Minecraft, the best-selling
video game of all time.
Among today’s generation,
hair is a vehicle for

independence. Spotted across
campus are vivid colors,
selectively bleached strands,
oversized afros, complicated
braids, and carefully
sculpted mohawks, mullets,
and etched designs.
