Who We Are
In 1968, the Talent Development (TD) Program at the University of Rhode Island (URI) was established to help in-state students of color and students from disadvantaged backgrounds who, without the support of TD, otherwise could not expect to attend URI. Today, thousands of members of the TD Nation are achieving their educational and professional goals.
