Please consider donating now through 10/5 to the Thomas “Doc” Manfredi Research Fund! Doc is an emeritus faculty member in the Kinesiology Department and started as a faculty member in 1982 where he started the Exercise Science program including the master’s program.

As a professor, Doc was a tireless champion for student research and served as the major advisor for hundreds of undergraduate and graduate students for more than 30 years until retiring in 2014. This fund supports student-centered research, and thousands of dollars have been awarded to undergraduate and graduate students over the past 10 years for purchasing research supplies, presenting findings at conferences, and conducting cutting-edge exercise research under the supervision of faculty mentors.

As an extra incentive to donate, Doc has generously offered to match each dollar donated through 10/5 up to $2,000!!

Be part of something big and make a gift today for the Dr. Tom Manfredi Kinesiology Student Research Fund #URIDayofGiving. Go Rhody!
