Counselors play a pivotal role both in guiding students in the admissions process and in partnering with us. We compiled this content so that you and your students can easily see and discuss the benefits of a RIC education. If we can be of assistance, please reach out. We also send monthly electronic newsletters with important admissions info, updates, and details about campus events.
