The Brain Puzzle
URI researchers are working to diagnose, treat—and ultimately prevent—neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer’s. They’re also investigating factors that help keep our brains healthy as we age.
We Are One
Disease. War. Famine. Natural disasters. For public health advisor Shade Olowookere ’17, these are everyday work problems.
Reach forward, give back
For over 30 years, the Cape Verdean Students Association, a strongly connected multicultural and multigenerational network, continues to bring a distinctive positive impact to the URI community and beyond.
A distinctive view
“I am really interested in how landscape architecture can impact a state that is known for its untouched landscape. I would like to be part of that conversation.”
Building on a strong foundation
Voter-approved bond will accelerate critical biomedical sciences research at the University of Rhode Island.
Celebrating songs of the sea
URI’s Sea Shanty Social Club is built around camaraderie and a collective love of sea songs, sea stories, and the sea itself.
URI receives transformative gift
Largest-ever gift establishes the Helen Izzi Schilling ’54 and Francis Schilling Scholars Program
The sky's the limit
In Doug Gobeille’s courses, students are encouraged to breach the limits of the imagination.
4+1 ABM Program
World-class tennis player Nadia Rajan, completed a master’s degree in kinesiology while playing a fifth year of tennis at URI. This was made possible through URI’s 4+1, Accelerated Bachelor’s to Master’s program, enabling students to earn both degrees in five years.
Tradition, craft, and culture
The Honors program capstone project of Caleb Gross ’23 combined his interests in art, history, water, woodworking, and a fascination with the traditional oars plied by centuries of Venetian gondoliers.
