Class of 2024 Graduation Celebration Card Program
The Class of 2024 is about to become full-fledged members of our global alumni community—and that is something to celebrate. To honor our graduates' achievements, welcome them to the Alumni Association and let them know that RISD remains part of their journey, we are launching a new program for Commencement 2024.
We are asking alumni to sign up and write notes to our graduates on cards you have designed, created or even purchased. We encourage you to share your congratulations, RISD memories or words of wisdom about life after graduation. Cards will be mailed to the Office of Alumni + Family Relations to be distributed to our graduates before Commencement.
Help make this milestone extra special for the Class of 2024.
Reunion 2024
Registration for Reunion Weekend is now open! Alumni from classes ending in 4s and 9s and the Class of 2022 are encouraged to visit their class pages for program details, class notes and more! We also encourage non-reunion alumni to join us for the many family-friendly community events happening throughout the weekend.
