Provide a Life-Changing Opportunity

Alumni, parents, and friends of URI play a vital role in sustaining excellence across the University.

The University of Rhode Island is a campus community, an academic hub, a global alumni network, and a source of lifelong friendships and opportunities. You can strengthen these connections and create new opportunities with a contribution to the University.

Big Ideas. Bold Plans. The Campaign for the University of Rhode Island is the largest comprehensive campaign in our history. This multiyear effort will inspire learning and discovery for students and faculty. It will encourage a diverse, collaborative environment to generate research and creative work. It will elevate URI as a vital partner in the community and as a leader in higher education. We invite everyone to be a part of it.
