Pints and Perspectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

Pints & Perspectives is a salon-style gathering where a URI faculty member shares something they’re genuinely excited about \u2014 then opens the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each night kicks off with a 30-to-40-minute talk from a URI researcher or expert: something real, something thought-provoking, something worth an evening. What follows is an open conversation that goes wherever the room takes it. Some nights get philosophical. Some stay playful. All of them are designed to be approachable, welcoming, and worth showing up for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn’t just drinks with a professor. It’s a chance to see the breadth of talent and curiosity that lives at URI \u2014 and to connect the university with the broader Rhode Island community. We’re building events that bring in community voices alongside URI speakers: local leaders, practitioners, artists, organizers, and people with perspectives that belong in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At its core, Pints & Perspectives is about trust, connection, and the kind of conversations that are harder to have in a lecture hall. Come for the topic. Stay for the company.<\/p>\n\n\nLearn More<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n
