Our Mission...

The URI Women's Center works to create an educational and work environment rich in visible role models and free of sexual bias and inequities. By developing and supporting women's abilities and showcasing their talents, the Women's Center assists all University women in reaching their full potential. The URI Women's Center works with others in the URI community to provide experiences that achieve learning outcomes concerning women's issues.

Our Vision...

The URI Women's Center's presence on the Kingston campus is recognized, appreciated, and valued as a precious and integral aspect of the university. Through the Center's programming and services, University women are able to expand their awareness of important women's issues such as diversity, sexual harassment, leadership, women's health and relationships. The Women's Center is a place where all university women (student, faculty and staff) go for education, support, referrals and crisis intervention.
