Faculty/staff planning Homecoming events are encouraged to complete form

June 23, 2025

Homecoming Weekend will be held Friday, Sept. 19, through Sunday, Sept. 21, this year. This annual celebration includes many reasons for alumni, friends, faculty and staff to come back to campus. 

As always, the campus community is invited to host and coordinate events during the weekend. Whether it’s an open-house-style program, tour, lecture, reunion or other event, on or off campus, Homecoming Weekend is a great opportunity to showcase URI and the innovations that are happening on campus.

This year, campus partners are encouraged to participate in the Rhodyville Homecoming event on Saturday, Sept. 20, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. This block-party-style celebration will feature food, live music, giveaways, URI swag, and more. Campus partners are encouraged to host an engaging, high-energy activity—think fall carnival. This year, we’re asking departments not to simply staff a table or provide handouts. Instead, we’re looking for interactive experiences—games, crafts, challenges, or hands-on ways to highlight your department’s work. 

Faculty and staff members who would like to host an activity at Rhodyville or who are planning events during Homecoming Weekend are asked to complete this form by Monday, Aug. 18, in order to be included in the promotion schedule for the weekend.

Be sure to follow the Homecoming page for regular updates.
