Affinity Groups

RISD Alumni Association Affinity groups connect alumni to each other and to the institution. 

Members of affinity groups interact in person and virtually—from hosting events to serving the global community to providing networking opportunities and beyond.

All RISD alumni clubs and groups welcome alumni and students with interest or affiliation regardless of race, ethnicity, orientation, gender expression and identity, cultural background or regional location.

Discussion boards and information about our affinity groups can be found on RISD Alumni & Friends. If you haven't done so already, simply login and claim your profile and connect with alumni who share your interests. Already claimed your profile? If you've logged out simply verify your affiliation with your email address and log back in!
