Alumni throughout the country and the world find value in meeting with fellow grads on a regular basis to talk, share information and plan programs, activities and initiatives of interest to RISD people in their particular region. Online connections through RISD groups on LinkedIn and Facebook also provide valuable ways for alumni to keep in touch with one another both personally and professionally.
Social media / online networks
A growing number of alumni appreciate opportunities to connect with fellow graduates through RISD’s LinkedIn community. In addition, various regional clubs maintain active Facebook pages to keep local alumni apprised of events and opportunities close to home. RISD alumni also come together through a RISD Etsy team page and a curated RISD page on Kickstarter. And, of course, alums also follow RISD on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Alumni Clubs
The following groups of alumni meet locally to organize ongoing events and activities designed to meet the needs and interests of each club. Feel free to contact club leaders directly to find out how to get involved.
