URI LEADS THE WAY– Come hear URI President Marc Parlange

Monday, August 19, at 1:00PM- The presentation will be followed by conversation and light refreshments in the lobby with the President.

For more than 130 years, URI has been dedicated to serving the people and communities of Rhode Island as the state’s public flagship university. Now, with the launch of its strategic plan, Focus URI, the University will drive positive social, cultural, economic, and environmental change across our state and around the world. President Parlange will discuss how, in the coming years, URI will intensify its impact as an entrepreneurial hub that generates revenue for Rhode Island; spurs economic growth in important and emerging areas like the Blue Economy; inspires innovation; creates sustainable and equitable career opportunities; and attracts new partnerships and funding to the state.
