Save the Date: Two Traditions. One Unforgettable Night.
This fall, the CCRI Foundation and Alumni Association will host an exciting new tradition by bringing together two of their signature events — the Raising Opportunities Gala and the Society of Knights Induction Ceremony — for one unforgettable evening celebrating the people, partnerships, and philanthropy that make CCRI stronger.
On Friday, October 16, alumni, donors, faculty, staff, students, business leaders, and friends of the college will gather to celebrate the extraordinary impact of the CCRI community while raising critical scholarship support that helps students achieve their educational and career goals.
The evening will also honor the newest members of the Society of Knights, recognizing alumni and community leaders whose professional achievements, service, and commitment to CCRI exemplify the very best of the college.
