Currently more than �6,800 students turn to CCRI in their pursuit of a brighter future. They come from high schools, the workforce or other colleges, with different dreams, goals and educational backgrounds. Yet at CCRI they all find a home—a place where their unique needs are understood and supported. Our exceptional faculty and staff often work one-on-one with students, encouraging them to reach beyond what they had hoped.

With more than 80 programs of study to choose from, students can explore their career interests and become scientists, teachers, occupational therapists, laboratory clinicians, engineers, computer programmers, police officers, artists, business professionals, and more. In fact, chances are many of the people you depend upon every day have benefited from the Community College of Rhode Island.

Each year, more than 1,200 Rhode Islanders graduate from CCRI and thousands more come to the college to transfer or to take a course or two as part of their lifelong learning endeavors. As of May 2006, our graduates total nearly 52,000, most of them living and working in this state.

Many of our graduates also choose to continue their education by transferring to other schools. Of the 80.1 percent of the Class of �006 responding to the survey, 94.7 percent are either employed, continuing their education or a combination of both; 27.2 percent indicated they were attending school full time and another 4.1 percent part time. In fact, many students transfer before completing a degree at CCRI. In �006, 887 students transferred to the University of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College. Also, many more transferred to colleges across the country.

Established in �964 to give all Rhode Islanders an opportunity to achieve their educational goals, CCRI remains committed to helping every student succeed. The college serves recent high school graduates, older adults looking for a new career, recent immigrants, and businesses looking to give their employees the training they need to remain competitive in a global economy. This report gives an overview of their successes, and paints a picture of the variety of endeavors made possible with a CCRI education.

About this report...Since the Career Placement and Graduate Transfer Report is based on a self-report survey, some caution in interpretation is suggested. In reviewing the information, please be advised that average salaries, based on a 40-hour week, are reported only for education-related employment and may show an unexpectedly broad range due to data collected from graduates in entry-level positions and professionally employed graduates who attended CCRI for further professional development.

The overall results from this year’s survey again validate, as have all reports since 1985, CCRI’s success in preparing graduates for further education as well as for jobs in the Rhode Island economy.

WheRe dId ouR GRaduates Go? the tRue measuRe of CCRI’s suCCess ...

Cynthia Bessette, of Cumberland, was the first graduate to complete the new Joint Admissions Agreement (JAA) — a dual enrollment program between CCRI and either Rhode Island College or the University of Rhode Island — last year. Created by the Rhode Island Board of Governors for Higher Education, the JAA program grants conditional acceptance to RIC or URI to CCRI students while they are still earning their associate degree. The students receive dual counseling from both CCRI and their intended four-year institution to ensure a smooth transfer as well as tuition benefits for earning a GPA of 3.0 or higher. “Economics was a huge factor for me when I decided to return to school,” Bessette says. “At the time, I had one child in college and one on her way to college and the incentive for keeping my grades up to keep my tuition costs down worked perfectly.” Bessette, who works at a law firm, is pursuing political science and justice studies at RIC and maintains a 4.0 GPA. She is in the process of applying to law school and her interests lie in real estate and corporate law. She says that she was first drawn to the JAA agreement for the economic benefits, and also praises the dual-institution coun-seling. “It was very easy to transition to RIC,” she says. “It made my transfer almost seamless.”

Without family financial support to attend college Jocelyn Ruby of Newport waited until she was 24 — the age at which the government considers her financially independent — to attend college. Combining financial aid with her earnings in the restaurant industry, she attended CCRI full-time. While managing both full-time school and full-time work was incredibly dif-ficult, Ruby remained focused on her goal of earning a degree, achieving a 3.89 GPA. She also credits CCRI faculty with providing a support system for her success. “They encouraged me,” she says, “and they taught me that you can accomplish your goals when you aim high.” She was accepted as a transfer stu-dent to Brown University’s resumed undergraduate program and was awarded a full financial aid package. Ruby, now a senior at Brown, is studying Gender and Sexuality Studies, an interdisciplinary program. She is planning to apply to graduate school to study for a doctorate in English. “I have an interest in women’s literature and I want to teach at the university level,” she says. Ruby is not intimidated by taking the next step in her education. “I remember how daunting it was to apply to school the first time around,” she says, but she takes comfort in having been through the process. “It’s exciting to see the development in myself.”

Joshua Vizzacco always had an inkling he wanted to be an artist, but he just didn’t feel quite ready for art school after graduating from Coventry High School. So he enrolled at CCRI and built his portfolio with work from drawing, painting and digital arts courses as he earned an associate degree in fine arts. Now a junior at the Rhode Island School of Design — his dream school — Viz-zacco is completing a grueling trimester schedule as a graphic design major. “There are things about CCRI I really miss,” he says, like the close relationships he devel-oped with faculty and fellow students, “but I left prepared for this next step.” At CCRI Vizzacco took advantage of the opportunities he had with the close-knit campus community. He helped launch an art club where students could share and critique their work and he was the Macintosh computer lab monitor. He is making waves at RISD, too, for sharing his creative talents. He won a design contest for creating the logo for Jolly Roger Café, one of the school’s eateries on South Main Street, and he was awarded a scholarship for outstanding design.“I’m in my element,” he says.

CCRI’s primary mission is to help students succeed in reaching their educational goals by preparing them to enter the workforce or transfer to a four-year college or university. Each year the college attempts to measure its success in this regard by surveying the previous year’s graduates.

This year the �,��9 members of the Class of �006 were asked to provide information about place of employment, job title, salary and status of continuing education. Of those, 976, or 80.� percent, responded to the survey. The results indicate that, overwhelmingly, CCRI graduates succeeded in reaching their educational goals. In fact, more than 94 percent reported that they were employed, continuing their education or a combination of both.

A total of 559 graduates reported that they are working full-time, with another ��0 employed on a part-time basis (�� of those working part-time are also continuing their education).* Over 86 percent of graduates working either full-time or part-time are employed in Rhode Island.

Also, �66 graduates are attending school full-time; 9� percent of those are continuing their education in Rhode Island (�6.4 percent are attending Rhode Island College and �9.� percent are studying at the University of Rhode Island). Members of the Class of 2006 transferred to more than 50 colleges and universities.

* Range and average salaries reported by employed graduates may vary from year to year based on salary levels that may have existed prior to obtaining the degree or certificate.

CCRI offers the only Jazz Studies program in Rhode Island and the only theatre program which offers jazz, ballet and modern dance. Students in the theatre program develop skills and creativity in the areas of acting, musical theatre, technical theatre and communications. Visual arts students focus on ceramics, computer technology, graphic design and photography. Music students may concentrate on performance, teaching, communications, composition or the music business. The curriculum at CCRI is the equivalent of the freshman and sophomore years in many four-year bachelor’s degree programs in art or a foundation program at a design school.
