The 2nd Life Exchange is now open Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays in room 216 of the Design Center (2nd floor). Donate unwanted art & design materials and pick up materials to use in your work.

RISD has joined the Sustainable Markets Initiative’s Terra Carta Design Lab (TCDL) to find student- and alum-led, high-impact solutions to the climate crisis. This global competition unites the creativity of the RISD community and the power of private sector supporters to support innovative, scalable solutions and highlight the urgent need to focus on collaboration between art, science, design and engineering.

Two select projects from RISD will each be awarded £100,000 in total funding, as well as the opportunity to be mentored by Sir Jony Ive HD 09 and the Sustainable Market Initiative’s vast network to help scale their ideas and bring them to market. Current RISD students and RISD alumni five years out (2019-2023) are eligible to submit projects to the TCDL. Students and alumni from all departments and disciplines are invited to apply.

If you are traveling outside the US for any of the upcoming breaks, you must get page two of your I-20 (in the “travel endorsement” section) signed by International Student and Scholar Affairs.

Travel signatures are valid for one year. If you need your I-20 travel signature updated, please complete an I-20 update/travel signature request form. You also need to complete this form if you have changed your major or have a new program end date.
