RU Impact (Student Clubs and Organizations)
RU ready to make an impact?

Supporting your club or organization at RPI isn’t just about giving back; it’s about reigniting the passion, purpose, and connections that shaped your journey. These groups provided you with skills, memories, and lifelong friendships that defined your time on campus. Now, you have the chance to pay it forward.


When you support your affinity group, you empower current students to grow and excel just as you did. Your contribution funds initiatives, creates opportunities, and fosters a sense of belonging that strengthens the RPI community. You’re not just making a gift—you’re investing in the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers who will carry forward the legacy of your organization. By giving, you create a ripple effect of inspiration, paving the way for the next generation of students to thrive in the same spaces that shaped your own RPI experience. Let’s build a bridge between the past and future—together.
