WROC-TV (Channel 8) reports on a letter of request to President Obama from Rochester Institute of Technology President Bill Destler to visit this year's Imagine RIT: Innovation and Creativity Festival scheduled for Saturday, May 2.
Anchor: RIT is thinking big! It wants President Obama to attend the second annual Imagine RIT festival. News 8's Evan Axelbank is at rit with more on their personal invitation to Barack Obama.
Reporter: This is the letter from RIT President Bill Destler to President Barack Obama. In it, he invites President Obama to the Imagine RIT festival, which RIT describes as giant science fair combined with the Park Avenue arts fest. You're looking at video of last year's festival, which drew 17,000 visitors. RIT president Bill Destler says President Obama would be a perfect fit for the festival because much of what he stands for- technology, green energy and innovation- is what this festival is all about.
President Destler: Why not invite the president and let him know that we're doing whatever we can to try to help the country maintain its standard of living and build new businesses based on new ideas for products and services coming out right here at RIT.
Reporter: President Destler admits that this is a long shot goal, but either way RIT's goal is to have 30,000 people attend this year's Imagine RIT festival, which is being held May 2nd. At RIT, Evan Axelbank, News 8.
