President's Questionnaire Spring 2006

As promised during my initial visits to the college in December 2005, I am asking for your help in completing a survey that captures your impressions on areas of excellence as well as areas needing improvement at CCRI. As a newcomer to the state, I’m also asking for your suggestions on people I should meet and your thoughts on increasing our visibility in Rhode Island. Once the information is compiled, I plan to share the survey results with you, and to begin establishing our priorities for the upcoming year.

Sincerely,
