Club sports are a big part of student life at the university. Every year, about 2,000 students are involved with the nearly 50 different club sports. For many, it scratches that competitive itch. For others, it’s a chance to try something new, find a community, and stay active.

The goal of libraries, museums, and archives around the world is to safeguard historical documents, but some objects can deteriorate with time. RIT’s Cultural Heritage Imaging (CHI) lab is using funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities to develop a relatively low-cost system that makes cultural heritage imaging methods more accessible.

RIT researchers are zeroing in on quantum photonics, the creation, control, and detection of light. Photonics has long been a specialty of the university. RIT led the team that developed the first quantum photonic wafer, which is key to the future of mass-produced quantum communication systems.

Across the country, millions struggle to find timely or affordable mental health support. This imbalance was an inspiration for Ali Tosyali, who researched a potential assistive technology that could help practitioners identify potential disorders in a faster and efficient manner.

Backed by an award from the National Institutes of Health, Assistant Professor Stefan Schulze is using his expertise in the structure and function of proteins to work with a bacterial pathogen commonly associated with antibiotic resistance.

Linwei Wang, professor in the Department of Computing and Information Sciences Ph.D, has been named the Bruce B. Bates Endowed Professor at RIT.

After arriving on campus for the first time just a few weeks before their audition, Angel Ash landed a major role in Macbeth, showing in the SHED’s Sklarsky Glass Box Theater.
