Where's my brochure?

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009 by Claire Robinson

We’ve gotten some calls recently from interested alumni and parents, wondering when oh when they will receive their RISD by Design brochures.  Not to worry!  The copy is in the final stages of being massaged as we speak, and will very shortly be bounced off to the printer and then the mailhouse to make its merry way to you.

And while we’re talking about the schedule for this year, let me just give you a sneak peak into some of the exciting changes we’re making!

  • Student-guided classroom tours on Friday
  • Students from each year talking about their experiences at RISD in a Friday panel
  • President Maeda speaking with alums and students about critical thinking and making at RISD on Saturday morning
  • An open Saturday sketch class in the Museum’s Main Gallery
  • Saturday afternoon Health and Fitness Fair in the Met
  • Saturday Open Studio Tours complete with student guides for all majors, and maps, along with some departmental open houses
  • Saturday Kids’ Workshop in the Museum
  • Alumni Show and Tell at the Tap Room on Saturday
  • Successful alumni entreprenuers talking about their RISD experience and how they make a living at what they love in Metcalf Auditorium on Saturday

As you can see, we’ve been busy!  We look forward to providing you with all the details soon.
