Dear RA+DI Fellows, Faculty, and Friends:

Welcome! As we begin the Fall 2025 semester, I extend my warmest greetings to both our returning Fellows and those joining our community for the first time. This year promises to be one of growth, creativity, and collaboration as we continue shaping the future of art, design, and entrepreneurship together.

At RA+DI, we remain committed to fostering innovation through interdisciplinary research, experimentation, and mentorship. Over the coming months, you will engage with inspiring guest speakers, workshops, and industry partners while advancing your own projects within our supportive and dynamic incubator.

I encourage you to make the most of this semester—challenge yourself, embrace new ideas, and support one another as we build a culture of creativity and impact.

Here’s to an exciting and successful Fall ’25 to our returning and new RA+DI fellows:

Kindest regards,

Dr. Jacek J. Kolasiński
