Happy Employee Appreciation Day!   Our Rhode Island team dedicated this week to appreciating staff through Thank You notes, a Wellness Day of relaxation and self-care, and 5 days of treats and goodies.    Thank you for reminding our staff they are appreciated today and every day!

After months of snow, sleet, and ice, who's ready for some golf?    Join us June 9th for our Annual Key Program Golf Tournament!    All proceeds directly benefit youth in our various programs through our participation in the Rodman Ride for Kids.  Registration coming soon ⛳️

Co-sponsored by the Sisters of St. Joseph, the summit featured Dr. Stefan M. Bradley - historian and professor at Amherst College - as its Keynote Speaker. Thank you, Elms College, for leading this important gathering!

In honor of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, Elms College hosted it's 9th Annual Black Experience Summit this past Friday.    We're proud to sponsor this event to celebrate Black voices, honor their achievements, and help drive critical academic discussions.

It features prominent figures in the black community, such as MLK Jr., Harriet Tubman, and Jackie Robinson. Each portrait with a description & a famous quote.    It demonstrates not merely the colors of the rainbow, but the colors of our nation and a push for equality & justice.

February is Black History Month, and one of our own is thinking outside the box to show her appreciation.    With the help of Assistant Program Supervisor, Jerrid Kenney, a member of our Northeast residence program has designed and built a "Wall of Black History Trailblazers."

We’re excited to share our new partnership with William James College! The partnership provides employees & students with benefits like reduced tuition for graduate & undergraduate programs. Admissions Events, visit: bit.ly/4bly6tP Learn more: williamjames.edu/partnerships
