Alumni recently shared photos from their college days and fans of the RIT Facebook Fan Page chose their favorites in the latest RIT Facebook Photo Challenge.
Three winners earned Barnes & Noble @ RIT gift packs for earning the most “likes” from visitors to the fan page: Bethany Choate ’06 (imaging science), Stuart Cantor ’92 (packaging science) and Kim Tonry ’79 (professional photography).
As a student, Choate was a member of WITR-FM (89.7)—which relates to the subject of her photo earning the most “likes.” It shows a group of radio station members with Henry Rollins, a musician, stand-up comedian and spoken-word artist, following his performance, in 2004, in Clark Gym.
“All the folks in that picture were WITR members,” recalls Choate, who served as general manager and member at large during her days with the radio station. “We had gone to see Henry Rollins’ spoken-word performance in Clark Gym. After the show, we waited around in the lobby of Ritter Ice Arena for a shot at meeting Henry. We had brought along a recorder from the station in the hopes of recording a station ID spoken by Henry.
A Rochester resident, Choate is now an outreach specialist for RIT’s Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science. “It is so great for me to be able to come back and work for my alma mater,” she says.
Cantor, of Whippany, N.J., was a member of Phi Kappa Tau. His photo shows a group of chapter members gathered outdoors for “Saturday morning champagne and doughnuts” during Spring Weekend in 1987.
