Rewarding Investment in Tomorrow - 50 Years on the Henrietta Campus

to

This exhibition draws from the vast photograph collections in the RIT Archives to tell the story of the lives of RIT students and illustrate the Henrietta campus experience since the founding. Typical activities in the lives of students, from the annual move-in days, to sporting events, to student hi-jinx are displayed.

Since its dedication, the new RIT campus, encompassing 1,300 acres, has been home to thousands of students and alumni, as well as generations of faculty and staff. For all who have lived and worked on this campus, RIT is a place where lifelong relationships and aspiring professions have been forged and nurtured, and many of life’s achievements ring with personal purpose and meaning.
