Prwkience last September expanded

educatitmal opportunities kr inner cfty

residents. Openktg the Provkience Cern-

pus during tough fiscal times created

challenges in terms of staffing and re-

sources, but the efforts of faculty owl

administration were quickly rewarded with

an initial enrollment of over MO students.

Eighty percent of those students were in the

fkst generation of their bunny to attend

college, and 74 percent were minority

students.

There have been convincing arguments

made that the future economic strength of

our nation will depend on our ability to

educate our minority population. Natkrnal

reports have suggested that to succeed in

this regard will require more than expanded

minority recruitment programs. Colleges

must create an environment where minori-

ties can succeed, an environment which

promotes diversity, values cultural differ-

ences and provides the support programs

which will enable students with special

needs to meet their educedional goals.

When the Prwidence Campus was

opened last year, there was a conscious

effort to create a campus which could be

model for promoting pluralism and cultural

diversity. The fact that the campus is

growing and thriving Indicates that these

efforts have been successful.

The Community College of Rhode

Island has also become a model in devel-

oping successful high school-college

partnerships. Four years ago. CCRI

responded to a national call to rescue

potential high school dropouts, the non-

motivated students who have become

known as °the negkacted majority.° by

offering an alternative to the general

education optban which has traditionally left

students ill-prepared for either work or

college. CCRI developed the 2+2 tech

prep-associate degree program which has

become so stxcessful that last spring the

College was selected as one of the three

community colleges nationwide to receive

the MCJC Tech Prep/Associate Degree

Award for program excellence.

Twenty-six of the state's 39 high

schools are participating in the program.

Students who successfully complete the

tech prep-associate degree program. which

involves two years of study at the high

school level and two years at Call. ere

equipped with the technical skills they

need to move into today's work force.

To provide ackalts with the skills they

need to keep up with the changing tech-

nology, a different kind of training may be

required. While same adults may wish to

pursue an associate degree, for others,

short term training is a more attractive

option. Technical training and retraining

for adult workers is offered at Call

throutth customized and special grant

programs. The WRI Center for Business

and Industrial TraMing works directly with

companies to train employees on a con-

tract basis, and programs ftmded through

agencies such as Waldo= MOO or the

State Division of Vocational and Adult

Education offer short term training for

adults seeking to enter the work force.

Because the College has made it a

priority to reach out to diverse populations

as weN as serving the kwareasing number

of mtraditioner high school graduates,

enrollments have reached an all time high

this year. In Rhode Island, CCRI has truly

"come of age."

Edward J. Liston

Presidem

The Community College of Rhode Island

re-established its presence in the inner city

during the 1990-91 academic year with the

opening of the Providence Campus in the

former OfC Building.

Nearly 650 students enrolled in college

credit courses during the first semester of

operation, with an additional 150 attglents

participating in the GED weparation and

testing wogram. During the spring, 1991

semester, enrollment junwed to 983. a 54%

increase over the fall semester.

A sunray conducted in December, 1990

indicated that students enrolling at the

Providence Campus Me, for the most pen,

older, female, minority students. haff

WO either unemployed or worldng part time.

Students selected CCRI Providence primarily

because of location and cost. The majority

resided within three miles of the campus and

traveled to class by car.

After tabulating the survey responses, the

Office of Institutional Research and Planning

compared the Providence Campus student

profile with that of the College as a whole.

The comparison revealed that the Providence

Campus was more heavily female (74% as

compared with 63% for the entire College

population), with a larger part-time enrollment

(74% as compared with 70%).

ST CRY AVAILABLE C

Thirty-five percent of the Providence

Campus population wail under 25 years

of age, compared with 45% of the

College as a whole. The CCRI papule-

lion as a whole was overwhelmingly

white (90%), while at the Providence

Canvus, 74% of the students

were minorities-45% blewk, 26% His-

panic, 10% Asian and 3% American

Indian.

Students at CCRI Providence can

enroll in courses leading to an associ-

ate's degree in liberal ans, business or

general studies. But the traditional

college coyrses are only a small part of

what's happming at the Providence

Campus.

The campus is a major GED prepara-

tion and testing center. Remedial and

English-ase-second-language programs

prepare students to begin college

COMO work and short-term, non-credit

vocational training programs are offered

by the CCRI Office of Comnunity Ser-

vices.The Educational Opportunities

Center, Project Sphere, and the Access

to Opportunity Program offer a variety of

support services for students; the Small

Business Development Center offers

assistance to minority businesses; and

the Langston Hughes Center fa the Arts

and the (link Heritage Society sponsor

programs which bring the community

into the facility.

Student organizations such as the

Lalin American Student Organization. the

Third World Organization, the Interna-

tional Club and the New American Club

sponsor a variety of lectures, perform-

ances and cultural events. Special

events during the past year Included a

children's dinner theatre and an interna-

tional food festival.

Minority recruitment and retention is a

priority at CCRI, and at the Providence

Campus an effort has been made to

create an environment where minorities

can succeed. Through the dedicated

efforts of faculty and staff, CCRI Provi-

dence is off to a strong start.

Increasing numbers of students are

sedectirv CCRI as a first college experi-

ence. The expanded Interest in the liberal

alts and general studies ainicula at the

Community College indicates that many

new students are studying at CCM with tiva

purpose of transferring to a four-year

college or university.

The Community College of Rhode

Island has made strides in accommodating

the record number of ttudents. SWIMS to

students haw been irrproved with the

establishment of the Providence Campus,

as a rola of a better utilization of class-

room space on the Warwick end Lincoln

campuses, through the implementation of

the telephone registration system and with

the introduction of the degree audIV

advisement system.

Satellite enrollments reached 2,107 in

the fall of 1990. Enrollments in courses

offered el business and industry locations

and through television rose to 827 and 917

respectively.

the fall ,1990 semester, 16,623

students enrolled In are& courses at the

Community College of Rhode island.

During the spring, 1991 semester, that

number was 16,370. In the summer 11111016bat

sessions, 6,738 students studied at CCRI.

On the average, enrollment during the

three periods rose by 7.9%, making for

record numbers for the 1990-91 academic

year.The Community College of Rhode

Island has also enjoyed record numbers in

the category of applications filed by

prospective students. This past year,

11,220 prospective E4udents filed applica-

tions at CCRI. This is an increase of

10.95% over the previous year's number of

10,116 applications.

The increased interest in the Commu- z-----

nity College of Rhode Island by prospec-

tive students is evidenced by the nearly

50.000 inquiries that have been made to

the Office of Admisskans and Records. For

the fall, 1990, in spite of declines in the

number of Rhode Island high school grad-

uates, the Community College of Rhode

Island increased its yield of that populatkon

to 13.4%, for a total of 1250 spring, 1990 11.1111.11

high school graduates who selected CCRI

as their college of choice.

Associate Degree Program

Community College of Rhode Island

has been selected as one of three comviiu .

nity colleges nationwide to receive a new

Tech Prep-Associate Degree Award for

program excellence from the American

Association of Community and Junior

Colleges (AACJC).

Sponsored by Autodesk. Inc. and the

Tennessee Valley Authority, the award

honors colleges and school districts that

have dewSoped exemplary working

relationships while providing coordinated

technical training during the last two pars

of high school and the first two years of

postsecondary eckmation. The award

carries with it a 82000 cash award which

was presented to CCRI President Edward

J. Liston at the 1991 MCJC Convention in

Kansas City last spring.

CCM 2+2 tech prep/associate

degree program has berm in operation for

four years and incorporates 28 of the 39

high schools in Rhode Island.

Other recipleits of the new MCJC

Tech Prep/Associate Degree Award were

Tri-County Technical College in South

Carolina and Mount Hood Community

College in Oregon.

Physical Therapist Assistant Program

In keeping with its commitment to

respond to community needs, CCRI is

Waring a physical therapist assistant

(PTA) program this fall at the Newport

Hospital satellite. Twenty students are

enrolled in this techrkal health care

program that will train them for a high-

demand field. This is the first physical

therapist assiaant program in the state.

According to the U.S. Department of

Labor, employment opportunities for

physical therapist assistants are growing

rapidly. This is the result of an increasing

need for rehabilitation and long-term care

services brought on by a growing eiderly

population and advances hi rehabilitation

medicine and theraputic techniques.

The Community College of Rhode

island first presented a proposal for the

PTA program to the RI Board of Governors

41.1m.

in the fall of 1988. The Board approved

the program but its implementation had not

been possible because of budgetary

constraints. However, a great deal of

interest has been expressed in this pro-

gram by both potential employers and

potential students.

To help close the gap between the

supply of and demand for physical thera-

pist assistants, Mowport Hospital agreed to

fund the program for two years beginning

last July. In addition, the RI Department of

Education, Division of Vocational and Adult

Education funded program development,

including the appointment of a program

director.

The patient experience component of

the program will be conducted at the

Vanderbilt Rehabilitation Center at Newport

Hospital. Graduates of the two-year

program will receive an Associate in

Applied Science degree and be eligible to

take the licensing examination.

Cowerative Education

The CCRI Cooperative Education

Program offers students enrolled in busi-

ness administration, computer science,

general studies, liberal arts, office admini-

stration, retail management and human

services an opportunity to be employed in

their field of study while attending college.

The program is funded through grants from

the US Department of Education.

The basic premise of cooperative

education is that personal growth and

professional devetopment are fostered by

combining classroom learning with super-

vised work experiences. In addition to

their regular academic courseload, stu-

dents receive academic credit for work

experience and Mending seminars.

tunity to work with positive role models who

assist them in attaining their educational

goals. The program provides support

services and sponsors activities designed

to encourage minorities to successfully

complete their educational objectives

without dropping out or interrupting their

course of study. This kind of support

activity becomes particularly important as

minority enrollment increases.

Last year, 143 individuals volunteered

to serve as mentors, and 305 students

requested to participate in the program.

Some individuals are serving as mentors to

more than one student.

Mentors assist students with complet-

ing financial aid forms, selecting courses

and registering for classes, obtaining

remediation in basic skills, and giving

general advice and encouragement.

facilities throughout the state. The Center

can also be used as a resource for compa-

nies, answering questions and proposing

options for meeting training needs.

and Hospitals.

Over 1239 employees participated in

programs administered by the Center.

A nine-minute video promotion focusing

on the need for a skilled work force and

highlighting CCRrs ability to provide the

necessary training was developed to assist

the Center in its marketing effort. The

video, produced in cooperation with Tin

Can Alley in Providence, is designed to

foster greater cooperation between the

College and the business community.

Featured in the video are Henry S.

Woodbridge, Executive Director of

Workforce 2000; Ira Magaziner, interna-

tional business consultant and President of

SJS, Inc., and CCRI President Edward J.

grown steadily in its iour years of opera-

tion. During the 1990-91 academic year.

68 students were involved with honors

student and the instructor as independent

study.

World War II Roundtable

Last June, over 150 scholars, veterans

and interested citizens assembled at the

Community College of Rhode Island Knight

Campus to commemorate the anniversary

of the Allied invasion of Normandy. In

recognition of this historic event, a special

presentation was made by the Rhode

Island Aviation Heritage Association

including actual gun-camera film from the

1944 invasion, and Albert Klyber, director

of the Rhode Island Historical Society,

reported on World War U era oral histories

which are deposited in the society's

archives.

The meeting was part of a World War

History Roundtable organized by Dr. John

Sbrega, Associate Dean for Academic

Affairs, in recognition of the 50th anniver-

sary of America's entry into World War H.

Dr. Sbrega has been studying World War II

for 20 years and has published extensively

on the subject. Meetings, held periodi-

cally, are open to the public and focus on

the presentation of scholarly papers and

oral history accounts.

Degree AudWAdvisement Systwn

The College acquired a degree audit/

advisement software packets, which

enables students to receive a computer-

°merited listing of outstanding course

requirements for completion of their

degree program. This new service, which

was made available Iasi spring. will benefit

students as they plan their course work

and faculty as they prepare and build

schedules far future semesters.

The program, known as Cllsl COURSE

will also be used to identify potential

graduates and certify that students have

completed degree requirements before

graduating. This wW enhance administra-

tive efficiency and acciffacy.

The purchase of ON COURSE was

funcktd in 1988 by the Rhode Island Board

of Governors for Higher Education Chal-

lenge Fund for Managenent and Adminis-

trative knprovement. Sir= that time, the

Office of Admissions and Records has

been customizing the software.

CCRI and Providence College were the

first in the state to offer a centralized

degree audit system as a service to

students.

Community Service Programs

The CCRI Office of Community Serv-

ices provides non-collegiate offerings such

as workshops, seminars, conferences,

non-credit courses, and special programs

for Rhode Island residents. It also admin-

isters training programs for unemployed

adults, and for recent knmigraMs and

response to community need. Many are

grant-funded, as noted in the section

which follows.

The High School Equivalency Prepara-

tion and Testing Program was initiated in

an effort to encourage residents to pursue

their educational goals. Activities include

preparation for five tests and administering

the tests. Tests are offered both on

campus and at off-campus sites across the

state on a year round basis.

When the Rhode Island General

Assembly passed legislation making

training mandatory for new motorcycle

riders, the Office of Community Services

began to offer a Motorcycle Safe Training

coulee at three bcations. The College

contracts with the state to provide both

training and testing.

Acting on a request from the Depart-

ment of Education for counseling and

assistance for welfare mothers, the Single

Parent and Homemaker Program

(SPHERE) was established to provide

assessment, counseling and support

services, including information on child

care and transportation to needy Rhode

Islanders. An increasing number of

pasticipants are going beyond what this

program offers and are successfully

completing college programs.

Rhode Island motorists who are guilty

of driving while intoxicated will take driver

retraining instruction and receive counsel-

ing at CCRI. School bus drivers also

receive their training at the College.

In the short term lob training catego-

ries, the Office of Community Services

offers vocational training for adults. Spe-

cial programs are available for immigrants

and refugees whose primary language is

not English.

If the 199041 war is any imitation of

the success that the Community College of

Rhode Island athletic program will achieve

during the 1990's, Ws decade should

prove Wi be another extremely sucansful

one. The men's basketball and baseball

teams were the first teams established at

CCRI and they cortinue to be the

conwstones of the athletics program as it

enters the 1990's.

The basketball team, under the direc-

tion of Coaches Vin Cullen and Charlie

Wilkes, not only ranked as the number one

team in New England for most of the year,

but the number one team in the nation as

well. The team compiled a regular season

record of 246 and participated in their

third consecutive Colonial States Athletic

Conference Championship, third New

England Mamplonship and their third

consecutive national tournament appear-

arm. Coach Cullen was named the New

England and National Junior College

Coach of the Year. Point guard Abdul

Abdullah was named the National Junior

College Player of the Year and a junior

college all-American.

After a slow start, the baseball team,

under the direction of head coach An

Pontare111, capped an outstanding season

with a New England Championship, a

Nrxthatst Championship and a berth to the

World Series. Coach Pontarelli was

chosen as the New England and hkstheast

Coach of the Year.

Following a three year hiatus, Coach

Ray Carr's tennis team regained its old

form by winning a New England Champi-

onship and playing extremely well at the

national championship in Texas. Coach

Carr was selected as the New England

Coach of the Year. Additionally, the team

won its second consecutive Colonial States

Athletic Conference Championship.

Coach Gail Davis' Lady Knight vdley-

bail team continued its winning ways by

capturing another New England and

Colonial States Athletic Conference

Championship. They lost the Northeast

championship and with it their bid to the

national championship tournament. Coach

Davis was honored for her efforts by being

selected as the New England Coach of the

Year.

The women's basketball team ri-

enced another outstanding season as they

compiled a 19-6 record against an ex-

tremely strong schedule that included

many of the Northeast's best programs.

The team lost in the New England Champi-

onship game to perennial power Mitchell

College. Lynn Johnson established herself

as the College's all-time scoring leader.

Additionally, she vies chosen as the

school's first Kodak All-Amerk:an and was

honored as one of the state's top female

athletes by the Rhode Island Association of

Intercollegiate Athletics for Women.

The men's and women's cross-country

team ran their way to some great finishes

in all of the major Northeast meets under

first year coach and former all-American

runner Gregg Cornell.

The past year meant the addition of a

new intercollegiate program at CCRI. An

outdoor track program was added to

support the cross country program. If the

first year is any indication of what the future

holds, this program is sure to add to

CCRI's many successes.

The soccer, softball and golf teams

continue to be very valuable parts of

CCRI's athletic offerings. The soccer team

is one of CCRI's most successful programs

under the leadership of Coach Victor

Gaspar. The Knights went all the way to

the New England Championship semi-final

game. Carlos Gomes was selected as a

two-time all-American. The softball team

completed another successful year under

Coach Dick Teller that Included the

dedication of the Lady Knight's new

softball complex at the Flanagan Campus.

The golf program under Coach Harry

Keenan completed a regular season in

spectacular fashion only to be upset in the

New England Championship.

The Ice-hockey team continues to be

one of the most competitive programs in a

conference that includes all four-year

institutions. The Knights compiled an

impressive regular season record and

finished as the conference champion

runner-up.

Hall of Fame

The Community College of Rhode

Island Athletic Hall of Fame was estab-

lished to honor those indivicuals who have

made significant contributions to the CCRI

athletic program. Over 26 people have

been inducted to date.

This year's inductees included Dr.

William Garrahan, Michael Lombardi and

Waft Edwards. Dr. Garrahan has been

associated with the College for almost 20

years as an orthopedic consultant. Addi-

tionally, he serves as an active member of

the CCRI Foundation. Mike Lombardi was

an extremely consistent golfer for the

Knights during a string of New England

Championships in the mid 1970's. He and

his family currently own Cranston Country

Club and are major contributors to the

CCRI golf program. Walt "Stretch" Ed-

wards is one of the best basketball players

in CCRI's successful basketball history.

He ranks among CCRrs all-time leading

scorers and is the College's all-time

leading rebounders.

Community Recreation

Since their inception, community based

activities have played an important role in

the framework of the CCRI Athletic

Department's programming.

The award winning National Youth

Sports Program continues to be the

cornerstone of this community involvement.

Started in 1979, NYSP is targeted at

economically disadvantaged young people

between the ages of 10-16. The program

is now operated on a year-round basis and

includes over 600 youngsters annually.

The program is geared to providing sports

instruction and academic enrichment as

well as medical and nutritional programs.

The CCRI program has been lauded as

one of the nation's very best.

The College continues to work closely

with the state's senior citizen and handi-

capped population by providing ongoing

prNrams in its field house and natatorium

complexes at no cost. Over 250 people a

week utilize the athletic facilities under

a varied menu of activities.

The Rhode Island Interscholastic

League and CCRI's Department of Athlet-

ics continue to work closely in providing

Rhode I I high school athletes with

excellent facilities for post-season competi-

tion. CCRI currently plays host to the

majority of Rhode Island interscholastic

championships.

The Athletic Department is also in-

volved in many community based educa-

tional programs. The College plays host to

a number of Red Cross certification

programs, and has coordinated all of the

water rescue classes for the Rhode Island

State Police Academy and Rhode Island

Municipal Police Academy. It also spon-

sors instructional swim programs for

hundreds of community youngsters on an

annual basis.

Over 188000 people utilized CCRI's

facilities through the College's Community

Recreation Program. This varied program

allows members of the community to utilize

college facilities at a nominal fee for their

own personal recreational and fitness

needs.

The Convnunity College of Rhode

Island encourages community organiza-

tions to utilize campus frwilities for confer-

ences, seminws, athletic events, cultwal

performances, and public hearings. Some

agencies which held programs at CCRI

during the past year are:

FALL ENROLLMENT FROM 1976 TO 1990

1976 has been selected as a base year for fall enrollment comparisons because that was the year in which the

second campus was opened in Lincoln. During the next seven years, enrollment on both campuses rose from 8,993 to

12,602 for a total increase of 40%. The full-time equivalent enrollment (FTE) leveled off one year earlier and then de-

creased by 11% from 1982 to 1984. Enrollments began to increase again in 1985 and then moved up dramatically in

1988. By the fall of 1990, both the headcount and the FTE enrollment reached the highest level In the Community

College's history.

From the fall of 1987 to the fall of 1990, the headcount enrollment grew by 26.8% and the FTE enrollment increased

by 25.9% (1,814 FTE's).

GRADUATES OF 1990

(With Comparisons to 1988 and 1989 Graduates)

A systematic study of the graduates of 1990 was conducted to determine their status six months after graduation.

Using both the mail and the telephone as data collection vehicles, the Career Services Office staff achieved an excellent

response rate of 76.3 percent.

The information collected from the graduates has been summarized by each program of study. Only an overall

TUITION AND FEES

The open door policy of the Community College argues for keeping the tuition and fees as low as possible in order to

increase the accessibility of the programs to all students including those with limited financial means. This concern for

keeping the tuition and fees at a modest level has generally resulted in increased tuitions each year that are similar to

the Consumer Price Index changes. Most recently, however, these increases have exceeded the CPI.

Combined tuition and fees increased 5.6 percent in 1988-89, 5.7 percent in 1989-90 and 9.6 percent in 1990-91.

After adjusting for a $25 surcharge in the spring of 1991, tuition and fees jumped 19% in 1991-92.

GENERAL EDUCATION REVENUES

The general education revenues for the Community College are unrestricted revenues which means these funds are

not designated for any specific purpose except the general support of the institution. These revenues represent the

major portion of the funds available to the College and come primarily from two sources: State appropriations and tuition

and fees.

From 1976-77 to 1981-82 the student paid tuition and fees provided an increasing share of the revenues while the

share from state appropriations declined. From 1982-83 to 1987-88 these percentages remained constant.

In 1988-89 through 1990-91, the State appropriation contribution to general education revenues decreased and the

tuition income increased proportionately.

STUDENT FINANCIAL AID

From 1987-88 to 1989-90, the totals from both state and federal sources increased significantly. Stafford loans (formerly

Guaranteed Student Wane) decreased in 1988-89 then increased in 1989-90 to 16% above the 1987-88 level. Overall, the

TOTAL AID available increased by 47% before any adjustment for tuition increases. Although the Rhode Island Higher

Education Assistance Authority dramatically increased Its dollar awards In 1989-90, projected figures for 1991-92 reveal a

decrease here even though enrollmimts continue to grow (projections not included In this table).
