A native of Boston, Nee came to Rhode Island in 1971 to organize a lettuce boycott for the United Farm Workers (UFW) of America. He had previously left Boston College to work for the UFW on a nationwide grape boycott.
Nee developed a close relationship with UFW President Cesar Chavez, which lasted until his death in 1993.
He was executive director of the RI Worker’s Association, an organization advocating for the rights of unemployed workers, from 1973 to 1976. In 1976 he founded the Service Employees International Union Local 76, organizing Rhode Island’s jewelry, clerical and healthcare workers, and served as president until 1983.
Throughout his career, Nee established himself as a community leader and reliable sounding board for political leadership. He has served as a member of the Governor’s Workforce Board, Rhode Island Commerce board, Rhode Island Convention Center Authority and Workers’ Compensation Advisory Council, which he has chaired since 1995.

HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS | ADVANCED DEGREE
Maria Elizabeth Cimini | Doctor of Humane Letters
The Honorable Maria Cimini, who earned both her B.A. and M.S.W. from Rhode Island College, has dedicated her professional life to promoting social justice, equity and economic security. As a thirdgeneration Rhode Islander who loves and believes in this state, she has worked to ensure individuals and families are given every opportunity to thrive. While earning her undergraduate degree in political science as a Pell Grant student she interned in the communications office of Gov. Lincoln Almond and with the Rhode Island Organizing Project, laying the foundation for a career of service.
For over 25 years, Cimini has worked to support oppressed communities. She managed the food pantry of South Providence Neighborhood Ministries and the statewide SNAP outreach project through the URI Feinstein Center for a Hunger Free America. She also facilitated programs to remove barriers to housing at the RI Coalition to End Homelessness and was an associate director for policy at the RI Department of Human Services.
In May 2022 the Rhode Island Senate voted to approve Gov. Daniel McKee’s nomination of Cimini to lead the RI Office of Healthy Aging. As a member of the governor’s cabinet, she works to amplify the voices of older adults, identify gaps in services and create opportunities for older adults and their caregivers.
Cimini has consistently worked to make society better for everyone by supporting emerging leaders, offering second chances and showing up for others. She was proud to serve in the Rhode Island General Assembly representing House District 7 for two terms (2011-2014). For over a decade she served as an adjunct faculty member at the RIC School of Social Work. Since earning her M.S.W., she has continued to supervise social work student interns, especially those interested in policy and advocacy.
Jocelyn A. S. Foye | Doctor of Humane Letters
Jocelyn Foye is a community leader, activist and advocate for reproductive rights and social justice. She is executive director and co-founder of The Womxn Project, a grassroots organization dedicated to advancing equity, bodily autonomy and civic engagement through public education, advocacy and community organizing using the unique tool of artivism.
Under Foye’s leadership, the Womxn Project has become a visible and influential force in Rhode Island’s political and social landscape. The organization is known for its creative public interventions, statewide campaigns and communityled initiatives that address critical issues, such as reproductive freedom, healthcare access, LGBTQIA+ protections and gender equity. One of its recent initiatives, the Empowered to Advocate Series, offers tools, workshops and resources to help individuals become effective advocates and changemakers within their communities.
Foye’s approach blends art, activism, education and public engagement. The use of these tools is rooted in her history as a Gold Award Girl Scout and M.F.A.-trained sculptor and spectacle-based artist. She studied at Trinity College (CT) for her undergraduate degree and California State University, Long Beach, for her master’s degree in fine art.
Beyond the Womxn Project, Foye has served as a lecturer and design professor, sharing her experience in behavioral psychology’s impact on design, sculpture and community building through art.
After over a decade in California, Foye relocated to Rhode Island to work as a design professor; however, civic engagement and access to the process through artistic practices became her focus. With the Womxn Project, she varies her advocacy work, lobbying for reproductive rights at the State House and using her creative efforts to inspire others to get involved inside and outside that building. Inspired by community-driven change, her career reflects a belief in the power of collective action and transparency in government to include all.
HONORARY DEGREE RECIPIENTS | BACCALAUREATE DEGREE
Bette J. Gallogly | Doctor of Humane Letters
Bette Gallogly has dedicated her life and career to transforming adversity into advocacy, exemplified by her dedicated work in securing stable housing and supportive services for homeless individuals.
Becoming a mother at 16, Gallogly balanced early parenthood with education, graduating high school and marrying at 18. She began her career working tirelessly as a waitress in the evenings, showing early signs of her unwavering determination. Despite facing significant personal challenges – including overcoming obstacles related to addiction and housing instability on the streets of Providence – she courageously sought treatment in Woonsocket, marking the beginning of her remarkable journey in recovery and social service.
Driven by her experiences, Gallogly participated in employment and training programs through Family Resources Community Action of Woonsocket (FRCA), quickly progressing from intern to receptionist. She further developed her professional skills by participating in the prestigious Robert Wood Johnson Grant initiative, which focused on enhancing community health and supportive services. She later secured a case management position focused on wraparound services with Tri-Hab, Inc., Thundermist Health Center, NRI Community Services, Tri-County Community Action Agency and FRCA.
Gallogly’s dedication and skill led her to specialized training in substance abuse counseling, positioning her to transition effectively into the role of permanent supportive housing case manager. She soon advanced into supervisory roles, serving first as supervisor and subsequently as manager of the Woonsocket Shelter. Currently, she serves as shelter coordinator for Community Care Alliance, where her visionary leadership has resulted in the opening of three shelters since 2021: the LGBTQ+ Shelter, the NRI Winter Shelter and the Dignity Bus, further highlighting her profound impact and commitment to the Rhode Island community.
Meghan Rose Grady | Doctor of Humane Letters
Meghan Grady joined Meals on Wheels of Rhode Island in 2019 as executive director, modernizing the organization and fostering its growth in scope and fundraising. Under her leadership, the organization has continued to provide its More-Than-A-Meal service to thousands of at-risk individuals each year and has increased daily meal delivery by 50 percent over pre-pandemic levels.
Prior to that, she served as chief operating officer for YWCA Rhode Island from 2011 to 2019. She holds a master’s degree in public administration from Roger Williams University and a bachelor’s degree from Merrimack College.
Grady is dedicated to public service and doing all she can to ensure that Rhode Island is a better place for all its residents. She has worked tirelessly to advance the organization’s work by equitably addressing food insecurity and healthcare issues. Meals on Wheels has expanded from traditional homebound older adults to include perinatal women, school-aged rural children and, through a new partnership with RIC and AIDS Care Ocean State, individuals living with HIV/AIDS. She instituted the organization’s culturally appropriate meal initiatives, including new meal menus and monthly café programs, most recently launching a Veterans Café in partnership with the Rhode Island Office of Veterans Services.
Grady has been recognized for her leadership and service with numerous awards, including the Rhode Island Monthly & Rhode Island Foundation Christiana Carteaux Bannister Award, which recognizes individuals working to advance equity and promote diversity in the Ocean State. She was also highlighted three times by Providence Business News, earning their C-Suite Award for Nonprofit/Social Service Agency, Nonprofit Woman to Watch recognition for social services and appearing on their 40 Under Forty List.
Grady currently serves as chair of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Aging and the Brown University School of Public Health Community Advisory Board. She has previously served on the board of United Way of RI and the RI Food Policy Council.
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 67 years, the campus has grown to 180 acres and enrollment has expanded to over 6,000 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.
