I have been maintaining a RISD admissions facebook group for almost two years now, and have really enjoyed answering questions from prospective students on the wall, and in the discussion boards.  One of the very first members of my group was a student named Rob.  He didn’t end up coming to RISD as a freshman, but this past year, reapplied as a transfer student.  Once he was admitted and decided to enroll, he became actively involved in the transfer community at RISD.

Not long ago he e-mailed me asking me why we didn’t have a RISD fan page on facebook.  I e-mailed our Director of Interactive Media, Eric Meyer, and suggested it to him.  3 days later the page appeared.  It now has over 3,000 members, and is a great source of information about things happening at RISD, and what our alumni and students are up to.

If you happen to be on facebook, check it out.
