Check Out Where We’ve Been Active
Our Plans for Next Year!!
More study & common space
Creating more study and common spaces on campus, such as a dedicated study room, a gaming room, or a lounge area, to provide students with more options to relax, socialize, and work on projects outside of their dorms or classrooms. We have those on campus, it's just not enough.
Improved Club efficiency
We've identified delays in event approvals, reimbursements, and club-SG communication. We plan to improve the approval system, using clearer communication channels, applying some reforms, and a digital platform for real-time tracking to make the process faster and more transparent.
RIT Escape Room
A fully interactive, university-themed escape room where students work in teams to solve puzzles, crack codes, and uncover secrets to “escape” within a set time. Each escape scenario could be based on RIT’s history, culture, or even a specific department, making it a fun and engaging way for students to learn more about their university and bond with their peers.
First year ambassador program
Creating a program tailored to first-year students to help them be a part of our community, by assigning them student mentors, & creating first-year focused information sessions and events, to make sure our new faces feel at home.
Rebranding Social Platforms
Elevating our social media presence with a cohesive brand book to ensure better visibility and engagement with the student body, as well as creating a more interactive and engaging website for students to access information and resources.

Smart Campus Hackathon
A 24-48 hour innovation challenge where students collaborate to develop tech-driven solutions that enhance campus life. Projects could include AI-powered services, IoT smart devices, or sustainability-focused apps.
RIT Dubai's Own Pawprints
Establishing more direct and transparent communication channels between students and SG, as well as finally implementing a Pawprints-like system to help allow students to propose their ideas and tell us their concerns in an easier fashion.
Expanding Cultural Clubs
Encouraging the creation of new cultural clubs by providing resources, guidance, and structured support. This initiative aims to celebrate diversity, foster inclusivity, and give students more opportunities to explore and share their cultural identities on campus
Reforms in SG
Implementing structural improvements, such as optimizing the team structure to reduce inefficiency from within SG and creating a more transparent and accountable system for the student body.
