The SRISA faculty is comprised of diverse, highly trained, and experienced full-time and part-time faculty members whose participation extends beyond the classroom, creating a strong sense of community and unity that makes the study abroad experience at SRISA unique.
Studio and design courses are taught by professional artisans, some of whom are internationally recognized with exhibitions in Italy, Europe, and America, while other faculty members have produced publications in multiple languages.
Our faculty’s diversity and broad international perspective align with SRISA’s mission of providing a rigorous and supportive learning environment for all of our students.
