Strohecker joins RISD leadership this month

PROVIDENCE – Dr. Carol Strohecker will join Rhode Island School of Design’s academic leadership team as vice provost for academic affairs at the end of August.
With her extensive work in art, design and media, industry, educational technology, and learning environments, she brings distinctive expertise and valuable experience to initiate and advance many significant strategic initiatives at RISD.
