In a series of new blog posts from the American Council on Education, four higher education leaders take a look at CU and its learner-centered, student-driven approach to higher education.

CU along with 11 other schools are featured in the d.school’s Guide to Reimagining Higher Education. Free to download!

In 2015 the state of Rhode Island authorized College Unbound to give degrees. The next step was to get accredited. A veteran in the world of accreditation, I stepped down from my role as board chair and joined the staff to help guide CU to candidacy status, a critical and necessary step toward getting full accreditation. The New England Council on Higher Education (NECHE) granted us that status this past September, a moment we are celebrating.

Congratulations to CU graduate and Director of Programs at AS220, Ashley Anjel Newmann!

Newport North End residents Dianne Ford (CU student) and Ellen Pinnock completed their first year of full time volunteer service this September through the national AmeriCorps VISTA program as part of the Newport Working Cities Collaborative.
