John Maeda Finishes His Prep Before Taking Over at RISD

Now that John Maeda is just a few days away from taking over as president of the Rhode Island School of Design (which you might remember us reporting on when he was named as such), we found this piece, thanks to Design Info, by the Wall Street Journal about Maeda’s preparing for his new, high-profile role. There’s a lot of “get to know John” biography therein, as to be expected with any major paper profile, but the sections about his going to Harvard for presidential boot camp over the summer and what he plans to do at RISD once he’s there is well worth the price of admission.
