A year of giving
Stay connected
FOUNDATION MISSION The mission of the CCRI Foundation is to secure monies for the Community College of Rhode Island through dynamic campaigns and public awareness of the college’s value to the community. Established by the state legislature in 1979, the Rhode Island Junior College Foundation’s charge was to provide a means of securing external support for the college and its programs and services.
ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MISSION The Community College of Rhode Island Alumni Association is dedicated to the development of alumni programs designed to encourage continued dialogue between alumni and the college. The partnership will facilitate mutual growth to support and benefit the alumni, the college, its students and the community in a manner that enriches the lives of its members and the quality of the institution.
Giving for today and the future Welcome to the Community College of Rhode Island’s 2015 Foundation and Alumni Association Annual Report. We are tremendously grateful to you for investing in the college and our students. Throughout history, philanthropy has played a major role in helping CCRI fulfill its mission. Last year, the college celebrated its golden anniversary. The milestone was truly a year of giving, as supporters donated their time, talent and resources. History has shown that an investment in higher education can provide greater security for the future. The college offers vital education and training programs and prepares graduates to enter the workforce. By investing in our students, you are helping propel the economy, the community and the state.

Alumni couple create scholarship to help others become successful Sandra J. “Sandy” and Kenneth P. Pattie of Rehoboth, Massachusetts, can speak volumes about how the Community College of Rhode Island helped change their lives. And now, like so many alumni, the Patties are taking what they’ve built with their CCRI educations and passing it on to other students. Sandy ’76 earned her associate in Business Studies right out of high school and Ken ’01 earned his associate in Engineering as he approached retirement, even though he already held both a bachelor’s degree and a Master of Business Administration. In February 2015, they endowed the Kenneth and Sandra Pattie Scholarship to assist students studying business and engineering. Sandy, a first-generation college student, spoke of the importance of aiding students who must work in addition to the time they put in at school – something she experienced firsthand when she was pursuing her bachelor’s degree in accounting at Providence College, often taking one course at a time. “Sometimes it was difficult to balance working full time and covering school expenses. When I hear that students sometimes have to drop out of CCRI because they are unable to afford the course, or maybe even the books, I think of the opportunity that is lost by someone not being able to complete [his or her] education,” she said.
A CCRI Foundation member for close to 20 years – 12 of them serving on the Board – she expressed a desire to help close the opportunity gap for students in need. “We are pleased to be helping others become successful,” said Ken, a standout example of a lifelong learner whose professional career has included management of information technology (IT) areas, IT contracting and teaching IT concepts at the college level. Sandy’s professional career spans more than 35 years in the banking industry, where she is president and chief executive officer at BankNewport. She is particularly pleased about the “wonderful educational experience” the college’s Newport County Campus offers in her own backyard. BankNewport frequently uses the campus auditorium for business and employee meetings and was a donor to the campus’ capital campaign; the Atrium common area carries the BankNewport name. During the college’s recent 50th anniversary year, she was honored as the Business, Science and Technology divisional awardee at “Celebrating Alumni for 50 Years.” The event provided the perfect opportunity to catch up with fellow graduates whose career accomplishments they found “humbling.” For the Patties, endowing a scholarship and volunteering their time and talents to the college is a top priority. But they also had some words of inspiration for other potential donors who had yet to give in any amount. “Helping others to succeed is always a worthwhile cause,” said Ken. “If you take a look at the number of successful individuals whose education began at CCRI, you will understand that these graduates have made the world a better place. “It’s nice to think we can play a small part in someone’s success,” he said.

“ Giving to CCRI creates meaningful experiences, empowering you to achieve your dreams when you’re not necessarily in a situation in life or from a background where you would normally see yourself graduating from college. It’s so important to give to CCRI, because these are the people who are going to be giving back to their communities and really trying to make changes.”
Melody
Thanks in part to the funds she received as the winner of the Julie White-Gooding and Antonio Gooding Minority Student Opportunity Scholarship, Melody Vasquez will be the first in her family to graduate from college. But for Melody, who works full time, staffing the night shift at the front desk at the Omni Hotel in Providence and attends classes full time during the day, winning the scholarship was about more than making ends meet. The daughter of a single mother who came to this country alone and impoverished at a young age to seek a better life, Vasquez said the award meant someone believed in her. “Sometimes, all it takes is that gesture of hearing that someone really believes in you. I thank those donors wholeheartedly,” she said.

“ Driving up that ramp and seeing the banner, ‘Changing Lives for 50 Years,’ I got all emotional. And it has been amazing. This all felt almost insurmountable but I know next up is Rhode Island College, and then maybe it’s Brown afterward. Suddenly, all these things that I would have never considered two years ago seem within my grasp.”
Sarah
Although she had just turned 40, with a successful photography business behind her and a loving family at home, Sarah Kristiansen was still nervous when it came time for her to start her new adventure as a student at CCRI. She knew it was time to make a change and chase the dream of being an English teacher, but she was worried, in her words, that she had “missed the boat.” Now her confidence has grown, in part because of the three merit scholarships she has received for her stellar academic record. These funds have allowed her to work fewer hours so she can devote herself to her studies without sacrificing time with her children.

“ All of college seems like a 100 percent uphill battle. It’s good to know that there are people that will help you get through, so that on top of all the other stress you have to deal with, you don’t have to deal with the stress of paying for it.”
Thomas
Student Thomas Gibson of Westerly has his hands full, working 40-hour weeks at an auto parts store in addition to his maintenance job in the machine shop at CCRI’s Knight Campus to help pay for school. He is hoping to earn his associate degree in Engineering Systems Technology as well as his Introduction to CNC Manufacturing certificate this year. Thanks to donors and scholarship opportunities such as the Bob and Barbara Rinaldi Scholarship in memory of family and friends, which he was awarded last spring, he said he should be able to complete his last semester without taking out any additional loans.

Scholarship creates a legacy of learning It wasn’t until she had been living in the state for 30 years that Constance F. Evrard began her involvement with the Community College of Rhode Island. She was most closely affiliated with Brown University, where she worked as a librarian, an associate director of admissions and then of development, and as a writer for the president. But alongside her strong roots at Brown, CCRI also holds a special place for Evrard, who endowed a scholarship in her late husband’s name this spring. The John R. Evrard, M.D. Scholarship is for second-year students at the college who are enrolled in the sciences – anything from math to nursing, explained Evrard. Her husband, who was one of the first professors at Brown Medical School, having given up active practice as an OB-GYN to become an academic, was an educator who took pride in his relationships with students. “He enjoyed his teaching, and he became very much loved,” remembered Evrard of her husband, who died after a battle with pancreatic cancer in 1990. Upstairs in her office in her East Side home, she keeps the numerous awards and honors her husband received for his valuable mentorship as an educator. “With John’s love of teaching, even though he wasn’t a part of CCRI, he would very much like to know we’re encouraging students at the beginning of their interest in the sciences,” she added.
It was another educator and proponent of learning, the late English Professor Charles Sullivan, who drew Evrard in to the CCRI community. She served on the steering committee for the development of the Charles Sullivan Fund for the Arts and Humanities, which brings influential speakers and artists to the college and the community each year. Through the years, Evrard continued to be involved, serving on the CCRI Foundation board from 2003 to 2012 and acting as the honorary co-chair of the “Changing Lives” celebration in 2010. “The more I found out about CCRI, the more I realized how important it was to the state,” she said. Evrard said she was particularly impressed with the fact that donations in any amount – large or small – could make a difference to students at the college. Though she downplayed her donations in comparison to mega-funds such as the Gates Foundation, she said she was confident and “thrilled” that, from the stories she has heard from students and alumni at events and in publications such as the Green & White magazine, those donations were helping to change lives. “CCRI provides a rare opportunity for people who might not have been brought up to visualize a future that included a degree. It provides hope,” she said. “I believe that education is the key to a happy life and a rewarding life, and that everyone who has the chance to try it is going to realize at some point that that is true.” Evrard said that higher education has made a difference in the lives of her daughters, all of whom were “thrilled about the scholarship” – not just as a means to help others achieve the chance at an education, but to help remember their inimitable father, a man who gave generously of his experience and his time in his work with students. “John was such a wonderful man,” Evrard said of her late husband. “It gives me a lot of pleasure to think about how much he would like this scholarship; he would get a thrill out of helping young people get started in the sciences. In a way, this sort of brings him back again.”

Changing Lives Scholarship established
The Community College of Rhode Island Foundation has announced the endowment of the Changing Lives Scholarship with the initial $50,000 from the net proceeds of funds raised during the recent 50th anniversary celebration. “The 50th anniversary year was a milestone for us,” said CCRI President Ray Di Pasquale. “The events were a way of honoring our students and alumni but also to look forward to the next 50 years, to kick off the next chapter of the college’s history.” Events such as the 20th Annual Fall Classic Golf Tournament, the Bobby Hackett Theater rededication and “Celebrating Alumni for 50 Years” were record-breaking fundraising occasions. At the Fall Classic in September, for example, more than $34,000 was raised and attendance was the highest in the tournament’s history. In November, hundreds of patrons enjoyed performances spanning the college’s five decades during “50 Years of Performing Arts at CCRI.” And the sold-out alumni event honored the achievements of 26 distinguished alumni before more than 650 guests at Rhodes on the Pawtuxet in March. CCRI Foundation Finance Manager Larry Shumate said that annually, 5 percent of the endowment could be given out – approximately $2,500 a year. Shumate said the endowment represents exciting possibilities for
honoring the spirit of the Foundation, as well as giving donors a chance to amplify their donations. “For the students, this helps tremendously,” said Di Pasquale. “Even a small amount can help pay for classes and books, and that can make the difference between someone finishing his or her education or not.” Marisa Albini, director of Alumni Affairs added, “For the donors, anyone can make a gift to this scholarship at any time, in any amount. The donations will grow the endowed scholarship and help more students reach their goals.” Over the past academic year, 58 students received assistance from the Alumni Association and 100 students received assistance from the CCRI Foundation. “The existence of this endowed scholarship only will increase that number as the years go on,” said Di Pasquale. “At CCRI, a donation in any amount can go a long way.”
