RIC’s Feinstein School of Education and Human Development (FSEHD) has been awarded a $300,000 grant by the Rhode Island Foundation to improve student performance in Providence, Pawtucket, Woonsocket and Central Falls schools. With this grant, the FSEHD will establish a Grow Your Own Equity (GYO) Fellows Program designed to diversify the workforce in career and technical education. The ultimate goal of the fellowship program is to train GYO educators to prepare high school students in these urban districts for college and a career in teaching.

RIC faculty members Tommy Ender and Leila Rosa (see photo above) have been awarded the first North Star Collective Faculty Fellowship, a new fellowship created by the New England Board of Higher Education (NEBHE). The North Star Collective is a group of colleges and universities in the New England region committed to transforming their institutions and uplifting faculty members on their campuses who are Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC). Rhode Island College is one of 13 founding members of the North Star Collective.
