Clubs and Experiential Learning

The English department provides students with several opportunities to engage in experiential learning while studying at the College. Experiential Learning is an active learning process where students "learn by doing" and then reflect on what they have done.

The Unfiltered Lens Newspaper

The overall mission of The Unfiltered Lens is to inform and improve the quality of student life at the Community College of Rhode Island. We strive to accomplish this standard by reporting and writing the truth in an ethical and responsible fashion that enlightens the entire college community, while providing information in an unvarnished manner that seeks thoughtful responses, dialogue and, of course, action. We fully understand serving students is our clear objective and recognize the impact and, more importantly, the importance of this endeavor. We realize we do not make news but cover events that stimulate our community, improve college life and strengthen our Democracy.
