KINGSTON, R.I. April 6, 2021 The University of Rhode Island announced the establishment of the Raymond M. Wright Fast Track Master’s Engineering Endowment. The $2.5 million gift comes from anonymous donors to honor College of Engineering Dean Raymond M. Wright, who plans to retire at the end of the academic year.
The new endowed fund provides one year of full tuition and fees for students enrolled in the final year of the fast-track degree program, which offers an accelerated timeline to complete a bachelor’s and master’s degree in five years. The dean of the College will choose the recipients, with a preference for populations who are traditionally underrepresented in engineering, including women and people of color.
