The Nazarian Society of Rhode Island College recognizes leadership giving of $500 or more annually. Your support helps provide scholarships, strengthen programs, and enhance the student experience.
The society is named in honor of Dr. John Nazarian ‘54, who served the college in multiple roles over more than five decades and as its president from 1990-2008. The Nazarian Society is more than a giving level – it is a community of loyal supporters who believe in RIC’s mission and invest in its future. Your membership in the society links you to Dr. Nazarian’s legacy of service, access, and leadership.
Every gift is more than a donation. It is a statement of belief in Rhode Island College, it’s students, and it’s mission. When combined with the generosity of others, these leadership gifts power transformational change across campus.

The Nazarian Society logo is more than a visual mark; it reflects our values and deep roots within the RIC community. At the center stands an anchor, symbolizing stability and steadfast support for our members. A nod to the Ocean State, it honors our heritage while representing a strong foundation for future growth. Laurels of excellence celebrate the academic and professional achievements of our scholars. It embodies integrity, lasting legacy and pride.
We are committed stewards who unite students and alumni, faculty and staff, friends and community partners to champion Rhode Island College's future through meaningful service, contributions, and active engagement.
