CCRI Graduation Includes 42 from Johnston

The Community College of Rhode Island awarded 1,659 associate degrees and certificates to its graduating students — including 42 from Johnston — at its 47th commencement held May 18 at the Knight Campus in Warwick.

U.S. Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, Rep. David Cicilline and Gov. Lincoln Chafee attended the ceremony, and CCRI President Ray Di Pasquale welcomed this year’s class to the ranks of the more than 58,000 CCRI alumni.

“CCRI graduates are everywhere! You are a part of the college’s 48 years of rich history,” Di Pasquale told the graduates. “The community college has always played a vital role in the state of Rhode Island, but the recent economic challenges our state has experienced have highlighted the importance of this institution. The power of the community college is great, as you all have seen in your time here. We know that you will go out into the world and touch the lives of your fellow Rhode Islanders the way that so many CCRI alumni have before you.”
