At the RISD, our students come from a wide range of geographic, socioeconomic, identity, and cultural backgrounds, representing all forms of diversity. As an employer, RISD expects all employees to recognize diversity and inclusion as central to excellence. We seek culturally competent candidates who will thrive in a community that advances principles of diversity, equity and inclusion, environmental and climate justice, and equal access to resources and opportunities. The Division of Institutional Engagement, which leads fundraising and alumni and family relations, has identified the following three DEI priorities:
- Increase staff and vendor diversity too, at a minimum, reflect the
diversity of the student body
- Build a more inclusive community of donors and volunteers to, at a minimum, reflect the diversity of the student body
- Create tools to promote transparency of efforts and outcomes
We invite like-minded candidates to join our growing team of advancement
professionals in supporting the future of art + design.
