Oliver Feliz-Lima refused to let a language barrier become an obstacle to his education.
05/20/2021
By Jhon Cardona
On May 15 Oliver Feliz-Lima graduated with a bachelor’s degree in computer science and a minor in mathematics. He came from the Dominican Republic to the United States six years ago with two years of college studies of electromechanical engineering, but with little information on what to do to continue his career in this country.
It was a challenge for him to gain acceptance at many colleges because of his level of English. “Before coming here, I had good notions of the language, but when I faced reality I realized that I didn’t know much,” he says. “It was not what I expected.”
BOLD LEADERSHIP.
A higher education leader with a background in student affairs, President Sánchez was appointed as the 10th president of Rhode Island College in 2016. Guided by the college s
Building Futures plan, he has led the transformation of the college s physical plant with more than $100M in investments and positioned the college as a first-choice institution for first-generation students, particularly students of color. We must ensure that the next generation of leaders have critical thinking skills coupled with empathy, compassion and care to make this state and world a better place. We must foster a climate where all students feel valued, supported, encouraged and educated. This is our collective mission.
