According to the Rochester Institute of Technology's (RIT) 1988 Yearbook, Techmila, the RIT Community for Nuclear Awareness was "an association of students, focus[ed] on issues dealing with the arms race, nuclear power and U.S. domestic and foreign policy." During the 1987-1988 school year, the group participated in various rallies for nuclear disarmament and sponsored several lectures on related topics. The group also appears to have been involved in a Nuclear Weapons Convocation held on RIT's campus in 1982 and in 1986 sponsored a role-playing exercise to examine possible ways to avoid nuclear war. By the early 1990s, the group had changed its named to the RIT Community for Peace and Justice. When it was discovered that RIT president M. Richard Rose had ties to the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the club sent an open letter to the RIT Board of Trustees demanding Rose's removal from office. Although the Trustees did not act on this request, Rose did retire from the university the following year.
