Useful Links

<p>The RISD Daily Jolt has a pretty useful set of links to official information, student web pages, campus and off campus activities, the museums, stores, etc., including the schedule of the RISD hockey team (yes they have a club team, named the Nads, with an interesting logo....).</p>

<p>Here's another link from the RISD "intranet" that may have some interesting information about what's happening there.</p>

<p>Yet another source of perspectives and info.</p>

<p>To compare which majors/degree programs are offered at RISD and other stand-alone art schools, you can go here: <a href="http://www.aicad.org/majors.html%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.aicad.org/majors.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>I am not aware of any handy on-line list that would also include universities and LAC's.</p>

<p>RISD Center for Integrative Technologies -- article in "Art in Ruins."</p>

<p><a href="http://www.risdworks.com/%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.risdworks.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>risd|works is a website for the shop and showroom of products by RISD faculty, students, and alumni. It's also well worth a visit when you're in Providence. Just across the river from the main campus.</p>

<p>The National Portfolio Day Assn. also provides a list of majors/concentrations in art, for a broader list of places than does AICAD (listed in #6 above) because it is not limited to stand-alone art schools. This site also has useful information about portfolios and pre-college preparation.</p>

<p>RISD Store -- team gear</p>

<p>RISD isn't exactly well known for their club basketball team (nickname: The Balls) or their hockey team (The Nads). But each has its own gear for sale. The RISD Store also has other RISD-related items, plus, of course, a wide variety of materials and supplies for students and faculty.</p>

<p>New RISD web feature: eviews</p>

<p>This new link has a lot of current "news" about RISD, including events, awards won by alumni, and other information. It should prove to be useful for keeping up on things. There are also other noticeable improvements on website.</p>
