President Clinton Plans Visit to RIT Tomorrow

BREAKING NEWS:

Rochester Institute of Technology will play host to President Clinton tomorrow afternoon, Dec. 14, at the invitation of B. Thomas Golisano, RIT trustee and the founder and chairman of Paychex Inc.

Golisano will accompany Clinton on a tour of RIT’s B. Thomas Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences, the largest comprehensive computing college in the nation. The college resulted from a $14 million gift to the university by Golisano in 2001.

Following the tour, Clinton will make an invitation-only presentation to RIT students, faculty, staff and trustees in the Golisano College auditorium.

Clinton will become the fourth former U.S. president to appear at RIT—following visits by Presidents Ford, Carter and George H.W. Bush.

MEDIA NOTE: President Clinton and B. Thomas Golisano will arrive on campus at 1:45 p.m. and depart at 2:30 p.m. Reporters and photojournalists are welcome to cover the tour, but coverage of the presentation to members of the RIT community will not be permitted.

Media planning to cover the Clinton visit must provide their names, media affiliations, dates-of-birth and social security numbers by 6 p.m. today.
