Professor Stephen Andrade is hosting a visit of Robynne Vieira, Computer Graphics & New Media 2010 graduate. Robynne, among other things was a key student in the 2009-10 GTECH project and all around great student. She has graciously agreed to come back and give a demo/presentation to our undergrads, which in my book, is a great way to raise the bar for existing students. If you have not seen her work, feel free to pop in. It is an excellent example of true industry artifacts.

Brian Alves, associate professor at Johnson & Wales University, has scheduled a visiting artist’s lecture with video artist Jon Shumway.  His work offers a uniquely personal approach/ perspective on digital media. This is open to anyone who would like to attend. If you have any questions you can drop Professor Alves an email or leave a comment below.

We’ll be sure to provide more information on this event as it draws closer. RISD is very eager to meet and network with our AIGA Student Group. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment below.
