Dear RISD Alumni,
I’d like to share with you the following important message from RISD Board Chair Michael Spalter:

To the esteemed members of the RISD community,
In my role as the Chairman of the Board I want to share with you news about our President John Maeda. He has informed me that he will be leaving our cherished, 136 year old institution at the end of the semester for an exciting opportunity in Silicon Valley where he will become a Design Partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers and also chair the eBay Design Advisory Board, beginning in January 2014.
