President's Statement of Commitment to the Protection of the Environment and the Health and Safety of the College Community

The Community College of Rhode Island is committed to excellence in environmental health and safety. CCRI pledges to uphold all local, state and federal environmental regulations and to protect the environment within the College and that of the surrounding communities. CCRI is committed to ensuring that its students acquire a sense of environmental responsibility that they can apply to their future schooling, their careers and to their everyday lives.

CCRI's commitment begins at the Office of the President and is implemented through the Director of Administration by the Departments of Security and Safety, Physical Plant and the office of the Chemical Safety Coordinator. The institution's Environmental Health and Safety Committee with representatives from a broad range of college constituencies meets regularly to offer insights and provide a vital communication link to the entire college community.
