Outreach Program Description:
DIGNITY-Living Without Violence and Exploitation is a private
computer mailing list. The purpose is to exchange global news and
information on sexual violence and exploitation, and organize
efforts to confront those violations of women and children's dignity
and human rights. The list operates from the premise that people,
especially women and children, have the right to lives without
violence and exploitation. Although it is important to understand
how all forms of violence and exploitation are connected and often
used together against women and children, this list focuses sexual
violence and exploitation, especially trafficking, prostitution, and
pornography. People who are committed to working against these forms
of violence and exploitation are welcome to join the list. DIGNITY
has subscribers from 30 different countries. Given global
inequalities in resources and access to the Internet, a
disproportion of subscribers is from Western countries, especially
the United States. Subscribers are asked to maintain balance and
ensure that everyone can participate and share information.
Subscribers are expected to interact respectfully with people from
different nationalities, cultures, and religions.
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
This news, information and discussion list enables leading
activists, researchers, scholars and police officers from 30
different countries to stay on top of global events concerning the
trafficking and commercial sexual exploitation and allows discussion
among them from the list. News items and public announcements, such
as conference announcements and calls for papers, can be forwarded
freely.

Outreach Program Description:
The Feinstein Engaged Department Program evolved from the Feinstein
Fellows Program (established in 1997). It supports academic
departments that integrate a service component into the curriculum,
publish and/or present on service learning, conduct community based
research and include students in the process, are involved in
community organizations as board members or other leaders, and tie
the department's commitment to the community to its mission. The
Feinstein Center for Service Learning offers guidance and resources
for this process, especially with developing understanding of
service learning pedagogy and practice and facilitation of service
site placements for service learning courses.
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
Since the inception of the Faculty Fellows Program, thirty-one
faculty members have provided URI students with service learning
opportunities that have benefited the community. The Feinstein
Center for Service learning provides resources of service learning
pedagogy and practice and facilitates service site placements for
service learning courses.

hours of service with their URI 101 class.
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
Service learning gives strong emphasis to meeting community needs
and reflecting critically on the service experience so as to learn
something of value from it. Each URI student has the opportunity to
be involved in a meaningful community service activity, reflects
upon that experience and has the forum to share their thoughts and
feelings with other students. By working collaboratively, community
needs are addressed and students begin to understand the needs of
the communities in which they live and their responsibilities to
them.

Outreach Program Description:
The ambitious exhibition program across 3 galleries is devoted to
exploring and presenting national and international contemporary art
in all media, with increasing emphasis on multi- &
cross-cultural dialogue.
Outreach Program Impact Statement:
An active contemporary art exhibition program is presented annually
within each of the College of Arts & Sciences' Fine Arts Center
Galleries public exhibition areas:
Main Gallery, Corridor Gallery, Photography Gallery. Unique among university galleries in the northeast, all Fine
Arts Center Galleries exhibitions are generated internally from a
national palette of artists, rather than traveling to the university
from organizing/sponsoring institutions elsewhere.
This policy makes gallery programming exceptionally
responsive to interests of the immediate academic community.
With the appointment of J. Tolnick in 1991, the majority of
exhibitions have been devoted to contemporary art in all media, with
increasing emphasis on multi-and cross cultural dialogue.
Annual calendars seek a balance between nationally,
internationally recognized and emerging artists, through one-person,
two-person and thematic group exhibitions of various types.
A balance of gender is another criterion, which guides the
formulation of contemporary exhibitions.
Tolnick has also developed and mounted 5 major historical
exhibitions for URI: "The Centennial Exhibition" marking the
University's birth in 1892 (1992); "In Memoriam:
Daguerreotype Death Portraits from the Collection of Dr.
Stanley B. Burns" (1996); "The Rhode Island State House
Centennial Exhibition" (1996
& traveling in 1997); "(Re) Presenting a Half-Century of
the College of Arts and Sciences" (1998) and "The War in
Vietnam-Afterimages" (1999.)
In the Main and Photography Galleries, focus is in principle
non-local. The Corridor
Gallery is dedicated instead of changing exhibitions of recent works
by members of the URI Department of Art faculty; visiting artists;
or those resident in Rhode Island and immediate adjacent areas.
Frequently it complements the content of Main Gallery
exhibitions. Posters and postcards announce all programs to a sizable
national and media mailing list.
Exhibitions are announced and/or reviewed regularly by Art
Now Gallery Guide (New York and New England editions); and in
competitive, sought-after media outlets including Art New England;
The Providence Journal; The Providence Phoenix; The Narragansett
Times; The New York Times; and The South County Independent.
Since 1991, brochures, booklets or wall text accompany all
exhibitions and complementary programming (gallery talks by visiting
artists or the director and gallery tours) are an integral part of
all offerings. Success
of visitor outreach is attested to by numbers of repeat visitors:
20,000 + people now visit the galleries throughout the
University use gallery exhibitions for teaching purposes, especially
Art, English, Journalism, Marketing, Philosophy, Political Science,
Sociology/Anthropology and Honors Colloquia.
Group visits by classes from URI's Providence campus, as well
as from CCRI, RISD and Salve Regina are also frequent.
The Galleries are supported through competitive internal and
external grants and through URI arts fees.
