Vision Statement

As Rhode Island College continues to fulfill its historic commitment to educational access for all academically qualified students, it will be widely recognized for:

• Its excellence as a teaching institution where faculty-scholars, professional staff, and administrators continually inspire students to expand their minds, meet new levels of intellectual challenge, engage in a wide range of student development activities, and thoughtfully prepare for life after college;
• Its importance as an intellectual, cultural, social, and economic resource for the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations;
• its character as an open, caring community in which there is demonstrated value for diversity, civility, and the principles of American democracy and civic engagement; and
• Its success in the identification, recruitment, enrollment, and degree completion of both traditional and non-traditional students.
