We are throwing a very last minute, very informal RIT ID Alumni meet up next Saturday in NYC and would love to see you there! RIT ID will be covering an assortment of apps, the rest is up to you!
If you would like to skip the line, you must arrive within 15 minutes of our reservation (8:30P). If you arrive more than 15 minutes after our reservation start time you will need to wait in line and gain entry to the bar as space allows.
Hopefully see you Saturday!!

Imagine RIT 2026 is a wrap!! IDDE 520/620 students showcased their semester’s work, including their student-made prototypes and their work made at @filzfelt . We also ran a Build Your Own Acoustic Tile workshop for visitors. As always, we had no idea how many would venture up to the 4th floor on such a rainy day, but we were packed all day!! We were so busy I pretty much forgot to take photos once things started. Oops. Huge shoutouts to my AWESOME students whose work looked fabulous and who spent their last Saturday before classes end with piles of felt and wayyy too many glue guns. And especially those who helped with setup and tear down. This has been such an amazing class this year - I really do have the best students!! #ritsoftstudio #rit_id #filzfelt #ihavethebeststudents
Our ID Senior Capstone Show is open to the public! Come check it out at the University Gallery until this Saturday, up for Imagine RIT!

The exhibit shows fifty two projects with prototypes!
