LinkedIn Workshop and group ice breaker

Are you curious about the pharmacist’s role in various settings? Join us on Zoom to hear a panel of alumni discuss their day-to-day responsibilities, what they love about their jobs, their path to their current roles, and what they wish they knew on their first day of work. Through personal stories and professional insights, they’ll highlight how their URI experience prepared them to lead, innovate, and make a difference—both during the Pharm.D. program and beyond. Current and prospective PharmD students are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to ask questions and learn about the unique value pharmacists bring to the healthcare team.

Community colleges are often celebrated as engines of access and mobility. But behind the institutional curtains lies a more complicated story—one shaped by frontline educators and leaders who labor to transform structures not built for them or the students they serve. This talk draws on insights from a three-year Research-Practice Partnerships with equity leaders across 20 California community colleges. Through their stories, we see the burdens of racial battle fatigue, the persistence of performative commitments to equity, and the creative ways practitioners use their limited agency to push institutions toward deeper transformation. More than just a recounting of barriers, this talk surfaces acts of resistance and imagination—new roles invented, resources redirected, and cultures challenged from within. By illuminating the lived experience of those doing equity work, I ask: What does it take to stay in the fight? And how do we move from one-off initiatives to sustained, structural change? Come behind the curtains, and explore how equity leaders advance notions of racial justice in spaces that constrain and catalyze the work.Associate Professor at San Diego State University, Dr. Eric Felix studies higher education reform and racial equity, with a focus on community colleges and critical policy implementation.Brought to you by The URI Honors Colloquium, an annual fall lecture series hosted at URI, serves as a university-wide educational forum that’s also open to the public.
