Welcome to the Home Page for Diversity at URI!

At URI, we are dedicated to building a rich learning community, in which diversity and multiculturalism are deeply valued. We work tirelessly towards this goal, by devoting time and energy to a number of existing programs that help attract and retain a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. We are also interested in developing more such programs that reach out to the community, and provide service, educational, and research opportunities. We strive to maintain a high academic standard that embraces the insights and understanding that develops through mutually respectful interactions among individuals with different personal and cultural perspectives.
