Tiger Walk

Add to Calendar
Students and campus community members line a pathway during Tiger Walk, cheering and high-fiving as new students arrive. The graphic features the text "Tiger Walk 2026."

Help us cheer on our new Tigers at the Tiger Walk, outside the Gordon Field House and Activities Center at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, Aug. 20.

After incoming students take their class photo on the RIT Baseball Field, they will make their way to the Gordon Field House and Activities Center. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni are invited to line the pathway to cheer on our new students as they walk into Fall Convocation for New Students. Please begin lining up on Fox Lane by the back entrance to the Gordon Field House and Activities Center at 9:15 a.m. Bring noise makers and signs and show your Tiger Spirit by wearing your orange, white, and black RIT gear. 

Immediately following the Tiger Walk, our new students will participate in Fall Convocation for New Students. The event will include a welcome from President Sanders and the provost, Dr. Prabu David, as well as other speakers from Student Affairs, Student Government, and the RIT academic community. Faculty and staff are encouraged to attend in person. The ceremony will also be live-streamed on the Orientation website.
