Foundation

To mark President Hughes' profound impact on the college, with your support, we are launching the: 

“Meghan Hughes Newcomer Fund.”

This fund will support English-language learners and adult education students to successfully earn the certificates and degrees they need to build quality careers in Rhode Island. Simply put, your gift will help make college possible for the talent that Rhode Island and our country desperately need.

CCRI is so often the entry-point for hard-working students who seek an opportunity to advance in their education and earn livable work to support themselves and their families. By helping more English-language learners and adult education students, you’re helping newcomers jumpstart their careers in Rhode Island. This fund will carry forward President Hughes’ commitment to empowering students and advancing the college's mission.

Your gift to support newcomer students will be a meaningful tribute to President Hughes' legacy, recognizing her ongoing dedication and the lasting impact she has made on students.
