Research and Public Support - RIT engages in public service activities that benefit the general community in which it resides, including training, postsecondary education for the deaf and hard of hearing, and K-12 programs. RIT also conducts research to advance the body of knowledge, enhance student and faculty learning and build its reputation in the scientific and technical communities in support of, or in concert with, the University's exempt mission, while providing positive returns to our sponsoring partners. As articulated in RIT's strategic plan, the University continues to place emphasis on its revenue growth in the research portfolio.
Student and Auxiliary Services - Student services provide students with additional enrichment and educational opportunities. Such services include student health, athletics, and other recreational activities. Auxiliaries provide essential services to students in support of RIT's educational mission. These services include housing operations and dining services. Sales and services of auxiliary enterprises generated total revenue of $95.8 million, an increase of $9.8M from the prior year. Surpluses from auxiliary services support the operating budget of the University.
