Do you need some late-semester accountability to work on a writing project? A term paper, dissertation chapter, or perhaps even make a plan for using your summer break effectively? Join us for some or all of this jam session where you can bring any writing project and come work in a space with like-minded students! Coffee, tea, and light continental breakfast fare will be provided. No registration is required, but please consider signing up so we can anticipate how much food to order. If you have any questions while you’re writing, a Graduate Writing & Presenting Lab consultant will be available to chat with you. Please note: <\/strong>the area around RINEC in Providence has street parking, but there are no commuter lots for URI students. RINEC does however have its own paid parking garage at 330 Eddy Street (South Street Landing Garage) just behind the South Street Landing building on the same side. There are a few different parking garages in the area\u2014the correct garage has large black & white historical photos on the outside & is located on the same side of Eddy Street as SSL. Additionally, when you arrive at RINEC, you may need to check in at the front security desk to let them know you are there to attend a writing retreat.

Are you curious as to how employers actually evaluate candidates, and what helps applicants stand out? Join this program, hosted by Brown University and the University of Rhode Island (URI), for a virtual employer panel designed to give students a behind-the-scenes look at the recruiting process from the employer perspective. This session will spotlight 4 consulting firms: Tighe & Bond (Engineering), The Brattle Group (Finance), and two more to be announced, who will share behind-the-scenes insights on how students can strengthen their job search strategies and make strong impressions through professional communication and personal branding across their application materials, networking, and interviewing.
