For the first time since its inception in 1998, the University of Rhode Island hosted its annual Colloquium on International Engineering Education on campus in Kingston, teaching students, faculty and professionals about ways to further integration between engineering, languages and study abroad.

Inspired by the appearance of several Italian musicians visiting URI this October — and the fact URI has one of the largest Italian study programs in the U.S., thanks to its International Engineering Program — several complementary events are taking place on campus, celebrating Italian culture and offerings for the first time at the University.
