In my informal sit-downs in random cafeterias around RISD, I’ve noted that whenever I ask a RISD student how their classes are going they will first of all say how tired they are from working so hard. Affectionately consistent with the reputation of students here at RISD with a “Reason I‘m Sleep Deprived” … Secondly however, they will gleefully add how much they love their teachers — I mean absolutely love their teachers. The thoughtfulness of the above video gives a wonderful sense of the intense community of critical thinking, learning, and doing here … only at RISD. -JM
