Honors Projects

The Community College of Rhode Island offers outstanding students the opportunity to partake in the Honors Program, which allows students to go beyond the traditional classroom setting and experience independent research as a preparation for further study and for personal satisfaction. It is with great pleasure to be able to share their final projects on this site. These students all have one common trait - a passion and thirst for knowledge!
