Staff, students or visitors who suffer a significant injury or medical emergency at Rochester Institute of Technology are often surprised to see college students respond. Around their classes and coursework, the all-volunteer, all-student crews of drivers and state-certified emergency medical technicians juggle two or three 911 calls a day when school is in session, totaling more than 750 calls a year. RIT is the only college in the Rochester region, and one of about a dozen in the state, with its own ambulance.
