Come see the Quad as you’ve never seen it before—even you ’60s and ’70s graduates—when the University of Rhode Island kicks off its 125th anniversary celebration with fire pits, live music, warm drinks and festivities galore on January 25, 2017.

All are invited to visit familiar haunts from 4 to 6 p.m.; just remember to bundle up for the cold.

On February 10, the quasquicentennial action moves to the basketball courts for a men’s anniversary matchup against Atlantic 10 rival Dayton. The next day, America’s Got Talent winner Mat Franco ’10 will bring his show-stopping magic to campus; tickets are available now at theryancenter.com.

Stay tuned for more celebrations planned throughout 2017.
