Cicilline (D-RI) issued the following statement in reaction to the announcement that John Maeda will be leaving his position as President of the Rhode Island School of Design to take a job in the private sector: “For the past five years, President John Maeda has been a visionary, innovative, and imaginative leader of the Rhode Island School of Design and under his leadership, RISD earned recognition as America’s top design school. In both my work as Mayor of Providence and in Congress, John has been a dedicated and effective partner particularly in helping to promote, manufacturing, design, technology, and entrepreneurship in our state and he has been a passionate advocate for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics education (STEAM). While John’s departure from the school is a great loss for Rhode Island, his work for RISD, for the City of Providence, and for our state has helped transform the way we think about both academics and economic development. I congratulate John on his new position, wish him well as he begins the next chapter of his life, thank him for his leadership at RISD, and, of course, look forward to continuing our work together at the national level.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
