Mark your calendars and register to attend today!

August 28 – September 1, 2023 – Welcome Week
Kick off the first week of the term with a variety of fun activities, free food, and exciting community events. During Welcome Week, you can participate in a mix of on-campus and online events including a burrito bar, international lunch, and resource + job fair. Additionally, Student Ambassadors will be hosting a field trip to the 40 West Arts District, which is the perfect opportunity to get inspired and check out the art representing our vibrant community.

August 31, 2023 – Radiance Awards
The Radiance Awards are a celebration of individuals from the RMCAD community whose achievements have made a significant impact in the art and design world. This year’s recipients Xi Zhang (Fine Arts, 2008) and Luke Flowers (Illustration, 2000) will revisit their alma mater to host workshops, share their artwork, and accept the prestigious Radiance Award.

Zhang is a world-renowned painter who has exhibited his work in shows at the Songzhuang Art Museum in Beijing, URRA in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Ornaments at the White House. Flowers is an author and illustrator who has worked on more than 75 titles, including the New York Times Best-seller “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” poems by Fred Rogers, and “The Muppets Christmas Carol” storybook.

Mark your calendars for one of our largest civic engagement events of the year. RMCAD’s Day of Service, open to students, faculty, and staff, will be dedicated to participating in a variety of service projects in and around Denver to give back to the community.

Participants will sign up for one of four different volunteer opportunities and will work on-site with their group before returning to campus for a complimentary lunch. Keep an eye on the events calendar for more information and sign up details!
