RIT Student Life

As you prepare for a spooky Halloween, let's make sure that we make it through without a scare. #MaskUp

Wishing you a happy, spooky, but not so scary Halloween week!

Exercise is a great way to manage end of the semester stress - and now you can do it indoors! The Wiedman Fitness Center has been moved to the Gordon Field House and is now open to students on a first-come, first-served basis, limited to 25 people at a time. Be sure to follow the safety protocols posted in the SLC to keep yourself and your fellow Tigers safe!

If you're in the Halloween spirit, but not sure how to celebrate, we got you! Check out these ideas for festive activities to do this weekend, whether you have access to a car or not. What will you do this weekend?

Have you carved a pumpkin yet? Share your fun fall activities with us by using the #RITStudentLife tag! Extra brownie points if your pumpkin is RIT themed!

Due to colder weather settling in, the last day to reserve an outdoor fitness pod will be on Thursday, Oct. 22. Over the past two months, the fitness pods had nearly 3,000 uses by more than 600 different students! Your dedication to following the health and safety protocols helped us make the outdoor fitness pods a great success within the RIT community. Wondering where you can get your sweat on for the rest of the semester? Stay tuned for some exciting news about indoor fitness this week! #RITStudentLife

Mark your calendar!

Have you noticed the beautiful fall colors of Upstate New York have been taking over campus? Take a break this week and go on a nature walk through campus. Try finding as many color-changing leaves as you can! Bring a glass jar from home and fill it up with the leaves to make a fun decoration for your room!

This week at RIT. Visit rit.edu/events for a full list of what is happening this week.

Happy Friday! Here's your event lineup for this busy fall weekend.

Don't forget - If you're planning to be on campus this spring, you'll need to get a flu shot. Stop by one of the upcoming student flu vaccine clinics hosted by Wegmans. The next Flu Shot Clinic for RIT Students is tomorrow, Oct. 16 from 1-4:30 p.m. in the Student Health Center.

Know Your Stress: Name it. Recognize it. Manage it. #WellnessWednesday
