The Value of Giving

Students in groups and walking at the end of the quad

Generosity can:

  • provide students with scholarships so they can build academic momentum and limit debt
  • ensure that students have access to state-of-the-art facilities
  • support research and professional development that our faculty bring back to their classrooms

Philanthropy is incredibly fulfilling to the donor and is critical to the success of our institution and community.
 

"I give back because I am grateful for all that Rhode Island College did for me and so many others. My four years at RIC provided me with the foundation for further graduate studies and a satisfying and successful career as a school administrator, college professor and nonprofit executive."

- Carl Smith '62 Ph.D.
