Dear URI Students, Faculty, and Staff,

The University of Rhode Island strategic plan, Focus URI, prioritizes fostering an inclusive culture at the University. To help assess our progress toward this strategic priority, we have launched a short climate survey and are encouraging members of the University community — current faculty, staff and students — to participate.

Participation in the survey is voluntary and anonymous. We ask for community members to take the survey by this Friday, Oct. 25. You may also enter a drawing for giveaways to demonstrate Rhody pride.

By taking the quick, seven-question survey, with the option of answering additional questions to provide demographic information, you will help University leaders take action-oriented steps to increase the sense of belonging at URI.

The survey is available here.

Thank you for the important role you play, as a member of our diverse community, in fostering an inclusive, people-centered culture at URI.

Sincerely,
Markeisha J. Miner
Vice President and Chief Diversity Officer
Office of Community, Equity, and Diversity
