RISD Continuing Education

RISD is celebrating a historic $20 million gift—the largest outright gift in RISD’s history—from the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation to establish the Maxwell Scholarship Fund and the Maxwell Global Perspectives Faculty Fund. These funds will shape how art and design are taught and understood for generations—educating artists and designers who are not only skilled, but genuinely equipped to engage the complexity of the world they are making.

The Maxwell Scholarship Fund will add eight new, fully funded tuition scholarships for undergraduate students, and the Maxwell Global Perspectives Faculty Fund will endow two new faculty positions and one rotating visiting residency for scholars, artists, designers, and architects representing global art-making traditions.

Alum Delle Maxwell and her husband Pat Hanrahan cofounded the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation to support individual scientists, teachers, conservationists, and creators whose diverse perspectives enable us to discover new things about ourselves and our world. At RISD, the Foundation also generously supports the Loop Lab and The Movement Lab.

“I firmly believe that creative experimentation is essential for learning—students should create with freedom.”

In Starting a Podcast: Finding Your Voice, students learn how to bring an idea to life and turn it into a podcast they can share with the world—no previous experience required.

“It’s a genuine joy to see students go from having an initial idea to a podcast they can actually share.”

Taught by a working podcast creator and RISD CE Instructor, Rob Quicke — who recently collaborated with the BBC in London, this course helps students build confidence in their voice and their story.

“Once you accept who you are, you’re capable of creating podcasts that resonate with an audience because of your authenticity.”
