Our Mission
Dedicated to fostering a supportive and inclusive educational environment, the Center also serves as an educational and advocacy resource for students. We recognize disability as a form of diversity, promote the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in all aspects of college life, and endeavor to make students aware of the many opportunities and resources available to them at Rhode Island College.
