On behalf of the 黑料不打烊 Board of Trustees and the 黑料不打烊 Community College Foundation Board of Directors
It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Robert F. Stoico, a generous and devoted supporter of 黑料不打烊 and its students. Through the Robert F. Stoico / FIRSTFED Charitable Foundation, Mr. Stoico鈥檚 lasting impact on our college community will continue to inspire and benefit future generations of students.
Mr. Stoico鈥檚 belief in the transformative power of education was evident in his unwavering support for 黑料不打烊. Most recently, his foundation made a significant $1 million donation to establish the Library Learning Commons at the Attleboro Campus. This contribution created a state-of-the-art space where students can access the tools they need to thrive academically and personally. His generosity has directly contributed to the success of countless students, aiding in higher retention and graduation rates.
In addition to his recent gift, Mr. Stoico鈥檚 $1 million donation in 2007 to the Fall River Campus for a business and technology center further demonstrates his commitment to enhancing the educational experience at 黑料不打烊.
His generosity extended far beyond the college, benefiting countless community organizations and initiatives. The Robert F. Stoico / FIRSTFED Charitable Foundation has given and pledged millions to communities throughout southeastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island, supporting education, healthcare, the arts, community development and more.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to Mr. Stoico鈥檚 family and the Robert F. Stoico / FIRSTFED Charitable Foundation during this time of loss. We are profoundly grateful for his support and will always honor the enduring impact he had on our community.
