Important News From College Visions

Dear Friends,

I am writing to share the news that Tina Meetran will be transitioning out of her role as Executive Director of College Visions. After ten years of engagement with College Visions as a CV student, staff member, and leader – we are sad to see Tina leave, but we also know that Tina’s trajectory represents the best of CV. We support students and staff to set big goals and achieve those goals. We also encourage people to reflect on their lives holistically and to embrace change. We are thankful for Tina’s outstanding leadership during the challenges of the pandemic and are excited to see what her next journey brings.

It’s Graduation Season!

“After graduating from nursing school, I am excited but also nervous and anxious about starting my career. I want to provide the best care possible to all my patients and I trust in the foundation that RIC School of Nursing has provided. I plan on taking advantage of all the opportunities that come my way to keep expanding my knowledge and growing as a nurse.”
– Katherine Rodriguez, Rhode Island College ’21

We are so proud of every low-income and first-generation student who has pushed through their circumstances to persevere and get to this point in their journey–high school and college graduation! Your strength and hard work is unmatched! And, thank you to all the CV supporters who continue to volunteer and donate in support of each student striving for better! Thank you!

Meet CV Donor: Mary Cloud

“Applying to college is a complicated, very competitive and long process. There are so many steps that need to be completed, resources that can be tapped if known, and decisions to be made. It is a difficult process for every applicant but particularly if you are the first in your family to apply and don’t have the experience of others that went before you. Thus, CV is such an important resource that helps students every step of the way to successfully enter college and succeed in fulfilling their dreams.”

College Visions has an amazing community believing in and supporting us and one community member is Mary Cloud! She is a 11 year Rhode Island resident who has been working as a nurse for 46 years!
