Spring Community Service Fair

The Community Service Fair is offered once at the beginning of each semester and it’s the perfect opportunity to find out how you can volunteer. At the fair, you will see a diverse range of area agencies and you’ll have an opportunity to meet with representatives from these agencies who need your help. Drop in! Visit with agency representatives. Find out how you can help make a difference!

Bow Wow Wellness

Your favorite furry friends are back! Stop by the Fireside Lounge to de-stress with therapy dogs. If you’re missing your fur family at home, come hang out with these pups and start your Spring semester feeling refreshed and relaxed.

Labryinth Walk

This event is for all walks of life, non-specific to any religious or spiritual beliefs. The theme is "Hope in Winter," reminding ourselves that we all need to grasp onto hope in the darkest days of the year, in order to seek the dawning of new creation as light more readily trickles in over these next few months.

Black History Month Kickoff

Creativity, cuisine, comedy and conversation. These are just some of the things you’ll find as RIT celebrates Black Heritage Month. This is a month long celebration that highlights speakers, music, food, and more.

 

Into the ROC

Explore unique challenges and cultural treasures in the greater Rochester community through the Into the ROC events. Transportation is provided for all of our Into the ROC events.
