RIT Athletic teams host a variety of team reunions throughout the year. Many of these take place on-campus in October during Brick City Homecoming or in May during Imagine RIT. Others take place in-season so that alumni can cheer on the current team. And others take place in spots around the country where alumni gather in the spirit of RIT.
