URI Tour Guide Profile

My URI

Name: Michael

Major: Political Science

Minor: International Relations

Graduation Year: 2010

Hometown, State: Coventry, Rhode Island

Two words of advice: Why not?

My personal motto is: "Wherever you go there you are." (Dr. Seuss)

URI is unique because: It is the perfect size: big enough that there are always new faces and opportunities, but small enough that it feels like home.

My goal: To represent the interests of struggling nations

My favorite food on campus: Three-piece chicken cooked in the hot sauce from International Slice

My best URI moment (so far): Meeting the love of my life

My biggest surprise at URI: Coming from Rhode Island I never realized how many new people I'd encounter

My favorite place on campus (and why): The Quad (for all the days spent enjoying playing soccer or frisbee)

On the weekends I: take advantage of all the shows and events that take place on campus

My favorite class (and why): Political Corruption because of the interesting perspective and real-life insight my professor brought to the class from his years as an NYPD police detective.

I selected URI because: I love the campus atmosphere

I am involved in: Tour guiding, Working at the Ryan Center doing set ups and break downs, and working as event staff at the football and basketball games
