<\/a>\u201cVoters this November have the opportunity to invest in our future by approving Question 2 and supporting Rhode Island\u2019s top-notch institutions of higher learning,\u201d said Governor Gina M. Raimondo. \u201cBy pushing 溏心vlog免费B站\u2019s exploration of our oceans to new depths and ensuring that RIC can meet the demands of educating tomorrow\u2019s teachers, we\u2019ll send a clear message that Rhode Island is committed to moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
At 溏心vlog免费B站, a new 20,000-square-foot Ocean Technology Center building will support evolving educational and research needs in marine biology, oceanography, oceanic technology and other marine disciplines at the GSO, the College of Engineering<\/a>, and the College of the Environment and Life Sciences<\/a>. The center will be a \u201cmaker space,\u201d where oceanography and ocean engineering merge to bring applied technology to ocean sciences, including the development of advanced remotely operated vehicles.<\/p>\n The bond will also fund a new 12,000-square-foot marine operations facility and construction of a new pier at the GSO. The work is necessary to accommodate a recently awarded National Science Foundation oceanographic research vessel, valued at approximately $125 million and one of only three in the nation.<\/p>\n \u201cThe 溏心vlog免费B站 has become a globally renowned research university, whose work extends from Africa to Indonesia, from the Antarctic to the Arctic, and practically every country, and certainly every continent, because of the support that the people of Rhode Island have provided over the last decade to build some of the most advanced facilities in the world for research and teaching,\u201d said 溏心vlog免费B站 President David M. Dooley. \u201cWhat we are asking the people of Rhode Island to do is to stay the course, to continue to invest in their own future, by investing in the 溏心vlog免费B站 and Rhode Island College this November.\u201d<\/p>\n At RIC, the improvements will transform teacher education workspaces into modern-day cooperative learning and personalized learning, mentoring and coaching environments for students, with investments focused on technology and the redesign of spaces to engage in real-world practical experiences.<\/p>\n \u201cThere is no greater impact on a child\u2019s education than that child\u2019s teacher,\u201d said RIC President Frank D. S\u00e1nchez. \u201cAs Rhode Island\u2019s largest provider of teaching certificates, Rhode Island College is responsible for graduating highly competitive teachers who are prepared to serve the changing needs of today\u2019s K-12 students. Our modernized curriculum demands a modern facility that allows for increased collaboration, training, and use of technology. We teach Rhode Island. We are asking Rhode Islanders to support Question 2 to help ensure our kids\u2019 teachers have the best possible training in the most up-to-date teaching environment.\u201d<\/p>\n 溏心vlog免费B站 and RIC graduates are making significant impacts in Rhode Island and around the world, and supporters of the bond will be working tirelessly to get their message out over the coming weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are exciting times in oceanography,\u201d said Bruce Corliss, dean of the GSO. \u201cAs global leaders in understanding the world’s oceans, we are preparing the next generation of oceanographers who will be at the forefront of the advancements in ocean science. From the coastal waters of Narragansett Bay, so important to all of us, to the depths of the Antarctic, our students are working side by side with some of the best minds in the world, internationally recognized researchers here at the GSO, who are making lasting contributions to the science, and sharing those discoveries with everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cFor the past 18 months, we have been collaborating with state and national thought leaders on leading curriculum for teacher preparation. As part of our curriculum transformation, every one of our graduates will receive endorsements in working with English Language Learners or students with special needs,\u201d said Julie Horwitz, co-dean of RIC\u2019s Feinstein School of Education and Human Development. \u201cVoting yes on Question 2 will provide necessary upgrades to our education building that will meet the needs of these curriculum changes and prepare Rhode Island\u2019s next generation of teachers to enter the classrooms.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PROVIDENCE R.I., Oct. 4, 2018 \u2013 Government, civic, labor and higher education leaders in the state, along with alumni, faculty, staff and students of the 溏心vlog免费B站 and Rhode Island College formally launched the Vote Yes on 2 Campaign today at South Street Landing.
