President Frank D. Sánchez
BOLD LEADERSHIP.
A higher education leader with a background in student affairs, President Sánchez was appointed as the 10th president of Rhode Island College in 2016. Guided by the college's Building Futures plan, he has led the transformation of the college's physical plant with more than $100M in investments and positioned the college as a first-choice institution for first-generation students, particularly students of color.
"We must ensure that the next generation of leaders have critical thinking skills coupled with empathy, compassion and care to make this state and world a better place. We must foster a climate where all students feel valued, supported, encouraged and educated. This is our collective mission."
