Save the date!Join us on April 23rd from 4-6 PM in the URI Library Galanti Lounge for the Pitch Night of the Ideation Studio Spring 2025 cohort! Come support innovation at its finest and listen to incredible new venture pitches and ideas.Free entry, open to all! Light refreshments provided.

Coffee & Scripture is Rhody Christian Fellowship's weekly in-depth Bible study. We discuss God, the Bible, and how it applies to our lives. We don't dodge the difficult parts of the Bible; we seek to understand them. Your questions are encouraged! Any students (regardless of your religious background or affiliation) are welcome to join us. If you don't have a Bible, we can provide you with one. Plus, we'll have free coffee!Note: We also have another time available if you can't make the 4:00 study. The 7:30 pm Coffee & Scripture meets in the Memorial Union downstairs (near the sushi place). Both Bible studies are the same, so pick the time that works best for your schedule and come join us!Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

Hailed as the perfect musical comedy, this award-winning classic gambles with luck and love under the bright lights of Broadway. "Count me squarely in the Guys and Dolls camp. If there's a flaw to be found in the 1950 'music fable of Broadway,' based on characters created by journalist/short story writer Damon Runyon, it's not in the Jo Swerling and Abe Burrows' drum-tight book. And it's certainly not in Frank Loesser's honey of a score." -New York Stage Review

The Materials We Leave Behind: How Manufacturing Research can Expand Material Options for Membranes for Water, Gas, and Ion Separationsstrength. The TFC membrane is defined by these two layers being chemically distinct and therefore customizable based on desired characteristics (e.g. cost, processability, selectivity). The most commonly manufactured TFC membrane is the reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membrane. These membranes are made through interfacial polymerization, a process developed over 40 years ago by John Cadotte, that enables this selective layer to be formed in-situ directly onto the supporting membrane. The process is scalable and leads to high performance RO membranes, though does have some drawbacks. The process is relatively uncontrollable and is limited to a small subset of polymer materials. In spite of these limitations, this manufacturing process has not changed in over 40 years, meaning the TFC membrane’s use has not expanded into other membrane technology spaces (e.g. gas separations and ion exchange).In this talk, we provide context for why this has happened and offer a new manufacturing innovation, electrohydrodynamic spray, that may enable the expansion of the TFC membrane to beyond RO and NF. We demonstrate the formation and scale up of defect free membranes using both conventional and unconventional polymers for a number of membrane processes.

With the motto “Running (Nearly) Bare Because We Care,” the purpose of the event, besides collecting clothing for the less fortunate, is to show students what it feels like to be outside with limited clothing, a problem for hundreds of people throughout the state. The Nearly Naked Mile is an event designed to raise awareness about the difficulties some people face when they don’t have the appropriate attire for the fall and winter seasons in Rhode Island. At URI’s Nearly Naked Mile event, students come to the Quad fully clothed and then moments before the race, they strip down and run one mile around campus.Visit URInvolved for complete event details.

The Language of Climate Politics: climate activist and author Genevieve Guenther in conversation with journalist Daniel Wolfe:Join the Department of English, the Metcalf Institute, and the Harrington School of Communication and Media for an evening with Dr. Genevieve Guenther, climate activist and author of The Language of Climate Politics: Fossil-Fuel Propaganda and How to Fight It (Oxford UP, 2024). Moderated by Daniel Wolfe, graphics reporter for The Washington Post and a 2024 alum of Metcalf's Annual Science Immersion Workshop for Journalists, Guenther will discuss her investigation into the propaganda that justifies the fossil-fuel economy and offer listeners new ways to talk about the climate crisis in an effort to create transformative change.All members of the community are invited. Books will be available for purchase and author signing. Refreshments will be served. Parking is available in the Briar Lane Lot (Lot 1), at 75 Briar Lane.The organizers are grateful for support from the Office of the President, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of the Environment and Life Sciences, the Harrington School of Communication and Media, the Department of Communications and Marketing, the Metcalf Institute, the Center for the Humanities, the Department of English, and Phi Beta Kappa (Beta Chapter of Rhode Island).

Hello everyone!This is an amazing opportunity for our student organizations to collaborate and get to know each other better. It is highly encouraged for club presidents and additional member of the E-Board to attend. The SOC committee will be overviewing transition materials, elections, and other ways to set themselves up for success in the fall. The lecture will take place right before a fun and rewarding scavenger hunt that takes you around campus in pursuit of various prizes, candy, and bragging rights (What's better than that?)Visit URInvolved for complete event details.
