Cold mornings are no match for a good cause! 💯

Over the weekend, community members from RPI and across the Capital Region came together to run in support of United Way of the Greater Capital Region.

Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make a difference. Your support helps United Way connect local families with the resources they need today while working toward a stronger community.

Over Reunion & Homecoming weekend, we kicked things off by celebrating Doug Mercer ’77 and his generous $27 million gift to the newly named Douglas A. Mercer ’77 Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering.

During the ceremony, students from various clubs and organizations had the opportunity to come to the mic to share a few words and their thanks to Doug. Not only for his gift, but for continuously inspiring the next generation of students to stay curious.

You might be asking yourself, "What in the world are nonuments?" 🤔

While monuments typically stick to a neoclassical style, nonuments break from tradition with a more contemporary look. For Architecture Professor Michael Oatman's Monument/Nonument course, students are challenged to create their own based on specific themes throughout the semester.

For their first nonument project, students researched the history of Troy and used a case of any kind to display their research in a meaningful and creative way. Projects ranged from a picnic basket representing the Troy Farmers Market to an old-timey clock reconfigured as a miniature Ferris wheel. Anything was on the table!

“This project represents what can be accomplished when institutions come together to address important community needs.” - RPI President Martin A. Schmidt

RPI is advancing development of a new community childcare center in partnership with Bright Horizons following a $5 million award from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services.

The center will be located on campus and will provide 116 full-time childcare spaces for children under the age of 5.

RPI is currently working with Bright Horizons to plan for the center's operations and construction and anticipates welcoming families to the center in late 2027.
