For Students, Faculty, and Staff

Share your story

The GSO Public Engagement team, in collaboration with URI External Relations and Communications, helps share your research, achievements, and experiences through news stories, features, photos, videos, and social media. Our content appears on the GSO website and across platforms like Rhody Today, MARITiMES, and URI social channels, and often leads to broader news coverage.

We rely on you to help us uncover the great stories happening every day at GSO. Whether you’re a faculty member with new research, a student with a field experience to share, or a staff member working on a unique project, we want to hear from you.

Send us your ideas:

Share your story from the field or lab.
Suggest a student, project, or achievement to feature.
Let us know about upcoming publications, awards, or outreach activities.
