Welcome Class of 2016

Posted on by

WELCOME Class of 2016! Here’s to new friendships, journeys and adventures! Our Orientation Leaders are happy to help out and have been leading various activities. Students have moved in, said farewell to their parents and families and are busy doing lots of activities for Orientation. It was great to see the familiar acts of parents carrying many bags from CVS, Bed, Bath & Beyond, and cartons of beef flavored ramen noodles. Families walking around with campus maps and pointing at various RISD buildings at intersections, trying to get themselves situated. Our office is revving up for the new prospective students and we are happy to see so many new faces on campus. RISD Admissions office is busy preparing my travel for recruitment.

As part of RISD’s 2012 Common Reading Program, all incoming undergrads were asked to tackle a great read over the summer: The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz. The Pulitzer Prize-winning author is coming to campus in November to read from and talk about the book with students (and all the rest of us who are great admirers, too).

Today, I am helping to introduce this year’s Orientation speakers, Nate and Kirk Mueller, 2010 MFA Digital Media alumni. They are a dynamic duo impacting design and changing how we create and think about interactive media.
