Thank you everyone for coming out to the annual block party on Thursday! It was a thrill to see everyone smiling and relaxing before the final week of the semester!

#rhodeislandcollege #blockparty

Over the past several weeks, members of Student Government have been meeting with students, faculty, and the RIC administration to discuss the P&E Report and its impacts. Many students and faculty continue to express concerns regarding the recent suspension of 20 academic programs at Rhode Island College. Faculty from all affected programs have submitted a formal statement to state leaders, raising concerns about whether the process followed appropriate policies and procedures.

In addition, some students have organized and started @save_our_majors_ric, actively advocating for a reconsideration of the suspensions and raising awareness about their concerns.

We are committed to advocating for transparency and collaboration as this process moves forward. If students have any additional inquiries, they are encouraged to reach out to Student Community Government (SCG) for support.

Come one Come all!

Rhode Island College’s annual block party is coming to you! Hosted by the Student Community Government, the circus is back in town! Tell a friend to come along to cool off those finals weeks jitters!

#rhodeislandcollege

With the end of the semester on the horizon, we took the opportunity to interview some of y’all for your best advice for finals week!

It seems like the best piece of advice we got was: to be well rested for your exams! That’s right a well rested mind is a productive mind!

#rhodeislandcollege

Thanks everyone who was able to donate to the SCG food drive! We were able to collect nine whole boxes of goods for the Food 4 Thought Food Pantry, and will be donating an additional $500!
