Judge Caprio devoted his life to public service & "lowering the ladder" so all can rise to success. Thank you CCRI for bestowing an honorary degree to this great man, who we had the honor of knowing when he served as chair of the Board of Governors of Higher Education.
For the first time in college history, CCRI will present honorary degrees at its 2026 Commencement! 🎓 · Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Dan Barry · The late Judge Frank Caprio Full story 👉 ccri.edu/news/ccri-to-award-…
