RISD Asian Alumni Reunion

This year’s Commencement + Reunion Weekend promises to be extra memorable as we gather together with our Asian alumni community for RISD’s inaugural Asian Alumni Reunion. Whether you are celebrating your class reunion or are looking to reconnect with RISD on campus in Providence, we welcome alumni of all nationalities and heritage from across the Asian continent and islands, living in the US and internationally.

This year’s theme, “Cuisine, Culture, and Community,” celebrates the culture and contributions of RISD's Asian community, including but not limited to alumni who identify as Asian, Asian American, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, South Asian, Southeast Asian, multi-racial Asian, or of the Asian diaspora.

More details are coming soon! Keep an eye on your inbox for your invite, event registration information, and more!
