Welcome!
Dear Student:Whatever your personal and professional objectives, knowledge of a second language will be of critical importance for you as an educated person of the twenty-first century. Whether in business, government, science, technology, education, social, or health professions, America needs young people with international and intercultural communication skills. We hope you will come to URI, and we hope you will let us help prepare you for your life and career in today's "global village."
