RIT’s newest Tigers were formally welcomed Thursday with cheers, advice, and challenges to dream big.

WXXI speaks with Sandra Johnson, senior vice president of Student Affairs, and incoming students about their move-in experience.

More than 3,100 new RIT students got their official welcome Thursday, first parading past cheering faculty and staff in the annual Tiger Walk, then in the Gordon Field House and Activities Center for some friendly advice during this year’s Fall Convocation for New Students.
