Many news outlets and people over the age of 40 alike have discussed and lamented the presence of “hookup cultures” on college campuses. Although the desire to sleep with others in a casual, immediate manner isn’t necessarily something to discourage, some aspects of this culture — such as alcohol and placing a large amount of trust in an attractive stranger — can complicate a person's ability to attain and give consent.

It’s difficult to think about RIT without associating it with innovation. Innovation is the school's go-to buzzword, and RIT’s not afraid to slap that label on anything that slightly resembles innovation.

To the employees of RIT, the word varies in meaning. Dr. Richard DeMartino, the director of the Simone Center, defines innovation as “both the creation of something new and the use of it.”

To Christine Corrado, the organizer for the Innovation Hall of Fame, innovation means “the coalescence between the perceived need and the unperceived need, and a novel approach to meeting that need...
