Now That Rihanna’s Got An Award From Harvard, She’s Moving On To Art School

She’s set to be honored at Parsons School of Design

Parsons School of Design has announced they'll be honoring Rihanna at their 69th annual (heh) benefit in May.

The Cut reports the school chose to award Rihanna because "she has inspired millions through her powerful music and distinct style." Parsons's executive dean Joel Towers also mentioned her humanitarian efforts, explaining that Rihanna "is also creating important philanthropic programs, which support communities by fostering effective education, health, and emergency response programs around the world through her Clara Lionel Foundation.”

Rihanna has been a champion for many Parsons students by publicly wearing their work on multiple occasions, which is really the best endorsement any young designer could ever dream of.

She performed in Parsons graduate Melody Ya Jun Lin's senior thesis project during last year's VMAs.
