Alumni Benefits

RISD Alumni receive access the Fleet Library at RISD. The Fleet Library also houses a book collection featuring alumni authors, illustrators, designers and publishers. If you are interested in visiting the Fleet Library the next time you are on campus, you will need to bring your alumni card.
