Naming Opportunities on Campus

Rhode Island College (RIC) seeks partnership from its alumni, reunion classes, friends and the business community to help continue building a vibrant, student-centered public institution of higher learning for years to come. Naming opportunities help support RIC’s mission and vision as well as the donor’s charitable intent.

An array of possibilities exists at Rhode Island College for donors interested in naming opportunities. The financial requirements differ, so donors are encouraged to call the Development Office at 401-456-8105 or 401-456-9866.
