Third year student Genesis Santos is a prime example of why the University of Rhode Island is known for its “big thinkers”.
Santos, a nursing major, psychology minor who hails from Providence, R.I., is an orientation leader, URI 101 mentor, a peer educator at the Women’s Center, and an employee at Roosevelt Hall, but her most important title is student.
Santos applied to five schools, three of which were in Rhode Island, but URI’s prestigious and competitive College of Nursing stood out.
“I really liked the location of the University, and the fact that it was far away from my hometown but close enough for me to go back if I needed too. The nursing program appealed to me in more ways than one. I really fell in love with what the program had to offer,” said Santos.
