TigerFest: Lighting the Way
Be part of the tradition that connects RIT women and nonbinary students: past, present, and future!
Join us for this annual RIT tradition of over 20 years, a lantern march through campus welcoming incoming women and nonbinary students. Participants will receive a commemorative lantern with a piece of advice or encouragement from a former student. This year's theme is honoring our history while embracing our future.
This event will begin with an opening ceremony in the Davis Room (SAU 1300), followed by a lantern march through campus, with a reception to follow in the University Gallery (Booth Hall 2700). All RIT community members are welcome.
Please register to request interpreters or accommodations.
