Dear URI Faculty and Staff,

We are pleased to share that this spring we will be continuing our successful initiative, Coffee and Conversation. Coffee and Conversation, which began last year, is a series of informal meetings hosted by us, President Marc Parlange and Provost Barbara Wolfe, to help foster important dialogue around the URI issues that matter most to you.  

In order to allow for collaborative discussion, space is limited, so we invite you to sign up here:

Faculty Coffee and Conversation Spring 2025
Staff Coffee and Conversation Spring 2025

We deeply value your perspective and contributions to the University, and we hope to use these informal gatherings to discuss everything from the proposed new budget model to our strategic plan to trends in teaching, research, and higher education. We welcome any topic relevant to the university for discussion.
 
Kind regards,
Marc and Barb
