The 2025 Alumni Survey is here!
The 2025 RISD Alumni Survey is your chance to tell us what we’re doing well and where we can do better. Your feedback helps shape alumni programming and strengthens the connection between you, RISD and our global alumni community of more than 31,000 creatives.
Your perspective helps inform the future of art and design education and impacts the next generation of RISD graduates.
The deadline to submit the survey is June 30. Alumni who complete the survey can enter to win one of five (5) RISD gift boxes, valued at $150 each.
