Build your network<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

The University of Rhode Island is committed to fostering an inclusive, people-centered culture. The University supports employees in cultivating supportive networks to provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, and generating new ideas so that we may, as outlined in Focus URI, “attract and retain the very best students, staff, and faculty.” The University Diversity Council coordinates these networks in collaboration with the Office of Community, Equity, and Diversity. Each of these groups welcomes all members of the URI employee community who may be interested in participating, including managers, supervisors, allies, affiliates, or any other faculty or staff member who would like to cultivate community and connection.
