MEET THE AUTHORS SERIES

The RIT Libraries are proud to serve as host of the "Meet the Authors" series, which features guest authors from within the RIT community. There are many published authors all around us, and this series affords the greater RIT community with opportunities to meet and chat with these authors. This year, several authors are scheduled to appear at the Libraries' Publishing and Scholarship Support Center (PSSC), where they can greet visitors for a 90-minute session in an informal and comfortable atmosphere.

Please check back here for updated scheduling as it becomes confirmed. If you or someone you know would like to be one of our future guest authors, please contact Sue Roethel (585) 475-2028.

Professor and mentor John Roche accompanies a group of the contributing artists and writers involved in the production of this year's edition of "Signatures" Magazine.

Featured publication:
Signatures Magazine

RIT Libraries hosts the Meet the Authors Series as a means of introducing guest authors from within the campus community. Each year, the Series finale is dedicated to Signatures, the annual student-run publication created by and for the RIT community. Its purpose is to represent the artistic and literary talents that are abundant, yet not always apparent, on this campus.

Join RIT Libraries in celebration of this year’s very unique Signatures magazine and the many talented people who created it. You’ll have the opportunity to view the magazine and chat with the staff, writers, and artists about their contributions. The informal session may also include impromptu storytelling and poetry readings. Please bring your friends and stop by!
