At the University of Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, research and education extend far beyond campus, reaching across borders to build partnerships that strengthen discovery and expand opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent university delegation to Seoul, South Korea, highlighted URI\u2019s long-standing global engagement and commitment to growing international collaborations. The visit brought together alumni, academic partners, industry leaders and prospective students to celebrate shared connections and explore new opportunities in research and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Kerry LaPlante<\/a> and other faculty members represented the College of Pharmacy, helping advance conversations around global learning and scientific collaboration. Meetings with university partners focused on expanding study abroad programs, research initiatives and cross-institutional partnerships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The visit also marked the launch of the Rhody Abroad Seoul program, creating new pathways for students to study, intern and gain hands-on experience in South Korea. Programs like this reflect URI\u2019s broader commitment to preparing students for careers in an increasingly interconnected world.<\/p>\n\n\n

For pharmacy students, these global connections enhance both education and impact. Exposure to different health care systems, research environments and cultural perspectives helps prepare graduates to work across disciplines and geographies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These partnerships are more than academic exchanges. They strengthen research networks, open doors to new discoveries and create opportunities that benefit students, faculty and the communities they serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At URI Pharmacy, global collaboration is not just expanding reach; it is shaping the future of health care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
