We encourage our URI student veterans to connect with our resources and to consider employment in one of our peer-to-peer tutoring programs. We want veterans to know that we value the strengths they bring to our URI community and strive to create a welcoming and supportive space for them in the AEC.” – Jennifer L. Burgess, M.Ed., MS.HR.
