HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT

Edward Avedisian | Doctor of Humane Letters

The late Edward Avedisian dedicated his life to music, education and honoring his family’s Armenian heritage. His success as both a musician and an educator, as well as his savvy as an investor, provided him with the resources to become a prodigious philanthropist and make a lasting impact on education, both in the United States and Armenia.

Edward was the third child of Armenian genocide survivors, Koren and Shooshanig Avedisian, born in Paw tucket, Rhode Island. He attended public schools and eventually went on to Boston University, where he earned both his bachelor’s and master’s in music in 1959 and 1961.

From there, his career as a musician flourished. He earned two prestigious Fromm Fellowships at Tanglewood under the direction of legendary composer Aaron Copland and received an American National Theater Academy Award for his performances in Europe in 1962. As a professional clarinetist, he performed for 35 years with the Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra and with the Boston Ballet Orchestra for 43 years. He also held posts with the Atlanta and North Carolina Symphonies, Boston Opera Co., Boston Lyric Opera and Harvard Chamber Orchestra. He shared the stage with celebrities including Aerosmith, Whitney Houston, Tony Bennett, Luciano Pavarotti and even Big Bird. Edward taught clarinet at Boston University and Endicott College, where he met Pamela Wood, who later became his wife of more than 44 years.

His philanthropic work largely focused on education, music, and medicine. In 1999, he established the Koren and Shooshanig Avedisian School in Armenia, serving 75 students in three grades; it now serves approximately 1,000 students from K-12. Edward also named the Paramaz Avedisian Building at the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy for his late brother; the Aram V. Chobanian and Edward Avedisian School of Medicine at Boston University, to honor his lifelong friend and former president of the university; and, of course, the Zvart Onanian School of Nursing at Rhode Island College, in honor of his sister who survives him.

Edward was the recipient of the Ellis Island Medal of Honor, and two previous honorary doctorates from the University of Rhode Island and Boston University. Former President of Armenia, Serge Sargsyan, twice awarded him with the Movses Khorenasi Medal for Contributions to Education, Culture, Literature and the Arts.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENT | COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER

Elizabeth Burke Bryant | Doctor of Humane Letters

Elizabeth Burke Bryant is a child advocate with over 30 years of experience in advancing equitable policies and programs to improve the well-being of children, youth and families. She served as executive director of Rhode Island KIDS COUNT, a children’s policy and advocacy organization, for 28 years from its establishment in 1994 to 2022.

Under her leadership, Rhode Island KIDS COUNT became the state’s premier child advocacy organization with a national reputation for its work to improve the health, education, early childhood development, economic well-being and safety of Rhode Island’s children. The annual Rhode Island KIDS COUNT Factbook informs data-driven advocacy across the state, with a core focus on closing unacceptable disparities by race, ethnicity and income. Among the policy victories that Rhode Island KIDS COUNT contributed to during her tenure were the establishment of the RI pre-K program, full-day kindergarten, the expansion of children’s health insurance coverage, the extension of DCYF services for foster youth up to age 21 and the reversal of a law that required 17-year-olds to be tried as adults and sent to adult prison.

Elizabeth is an Adjunct Lecturer at Brown University’s Master of Public Affairs program where she teaches public policy advocacy and strategic communications. She is a graduate of Classical High School, the University of Vermont and the George Washington University Law School. For several years she served as co-chair of the board of the Partnership for America’s Children, a national network of state and local child advocacy organizations working to improve policies affecting children. She also served as co-chair of the RI Early Learning Council. She is a recipient of numerous awards, including the national Florette Angel Child Advocate of the Year Award, the University of Vermont Alumni Achievement Award, the Girl Scouts of Southeastern New England Leading Women of Distinction Award, the YWCA of Rhode Island Women of Achievement Award, and the Rhode Island Foundation’s Community Leadership Award. She was named USA Today’s 2023 Woman of the Year for Rhode Island.

HISTORY OF RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE

Rhode Island College is the state’s first public institution of higher education. Established in 1854 by the Rhode Island General Assembly as the Rhode Island State Normal School, the school was founded to address the increasing demand for formally educated teachers in the state. First classes were held at the Second Universalist Church in Providence before moving in 1857 to free accommodations at the former Congregational meetinghouse in Bristol. Normal School operations were suspended in 1865, but the school reopened in 1871 in a building near Hoyle Square in Providence. In 1879 larger quarters were secured in a former Providence High School building, and in 1893 the first Observation and Training School was opened in a former grammar school a number of blocks away from the Normal School. In 1898 a new and much grander home was completed on Providence’s Capitol Hill. The first floor was occupied by the Observation and Training School, named in honor of Henry Barnard in 1920. That same year the Normal School was rechartered as the Rhode Island College of Education (R.I.C.E.), gaining the authority to grant baccalaureate degrees and earning distinction as the first New England normal school to become a college of education. In 1925 the college offered its first graduate degree program – the Master of Education. Increased growth led to the opening of a separate building on the same campus to house the Henry Barnard School in 1928.

By the early 1950s the college was again in need of larger quarters. In the fall of 1958, a new 48-acre campus opened in the Mt. Pleasant section of Providence, with six buildings, 800 students and 65 faculty members. In 1959 the Rhode Island General Assembly assigned the institution a new mission; in addition to its teacher education programs, the college was to offer a comprehensive curriculum in the arts and sciences and to add a program in the industrial arts. To reflect its new mission, in 1960 the institution’s name was changed to Rhode Island College.

Over the past 60 years, the campus has grown to 180 acres and enrollment has expanded to over 5,700 students. The campus consists of 43 buildings, including six residence halls that can now accommodate 1,200 students. Academic offerings are provided in five schools: the Feinstein School of Education and Human Development, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, the School of Business, the Onanian School of Nursing, and the School of Social Work.

THE RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE SEAL

The official Rhode Island College seal (adopted in 1960) incorporates the anchor, a symbol of hope and of the state of Rhode Island, with the founding of the institution in 1854. The seal was designed by Edith C. Becker, professor emerita of art, who adapted the central flame symbol from the Holbrook Murals in the foyer of Roberts Hall. The flame is used in the murals to depict the energy that has, over the ages, supported the development of all living things and has led civilization to its highest intellectual achievements. In like manner, the flame in the Rhode Island College seal stands for the life of the body and the life of the mind, symbolizing the human and intellectual goals and achievements of Rhode Island College.

THE DEL SESTO MACE

At the 1959 commencement exercises, the first held on the present Mount Pleasant campus, Governor Christopher Del Sesto presented to Rhode Island College a bronze replica of the statue of the Independent Man so that the college, which since 1898 had been located near the State House, might continue its tradition of holding commencements and other academic convocations in the presence of the Independent Man. The Del Sesto Mace, designed by the noted Rhode Island sculptor Aristide Cianfarani and crafted by the Gorham Company, has been in use since 1962 in all academic processions as a symbol of tradition and authority, as well as commitment to the search for truth, knowledge, beauty, values, and learning.

THE PRESIDENTIAL MEDALLION

The Presidential Medallion is a symbol of the office of the president. The medallion is appended to a chain that bears the names of the college and the chief executive officers who have led the institution. The medallion bears the names of all the principals and presidents to date; as well as the official names of the institution over time; the Rhode Island Normal School (1854-1920), Rhode Island College of Education (1920-1960) and Rhode Island College (1960-present).

ALMA MATER

Dear Alma Mater wise and kind, To thy fair name shall e'er belong our grateful praises and our love, The tribute of our song. Thou guardian of the sacred shrine of truth that makes us free. We cherish thy beloved fame and pledge our loyalty. Rhode Island College hail to thee! All hail to Alma Mater!

Enshrined thou art within the heart of ev'ry son and daughter.

RHODE ISLAND COLLEGE COLORS

Rhode Island College's colors are gold and white, taken from the Rhode Island state flag. In 1986, burgundy was added as an accent color.
