Established in 2000 as part of an Institute wide initiative to increase student retention and graduation, we serve all students at RIT, regardless of ethnic background, but primarily exist to retain and graduate African American, Latin American, and Native American (AALANA) students at the Rochester Institute of Technology.
In order to help RIT meet its student retention goals, three areas drive the activity of MCAS. Each area of focus exposes MCAS commitments to academic excellence, mentoring, community development, leadership, and professional success.
