Project ExCEL Empowers Students to Break through Language Barriers

In the summer of 2013, Project ExCEL came to life at Rhode Island College, providing a pathway for non-English speakers to enter higher education. It was the initiative of Andrés Ramírez, Ph.D., a former RIC TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) professor and former coordinator of the ESL Intensive program, and Brian Stevens ’01, M.A. ’05, assistant director of the Office of Undergraduate Admissions.
