Summer Orientation 2025
Family and Supporter Orientation is an optional two-day program designed to welcome families to the URI community. During orientation, guests will attend an academic session, hear from university leadership, and participate in programming to learn more about campus resources and support services. The program is designed to provide helpful and relevant information to our new Rhody families while supporting a successful student transition to URI.
