    The University learned today of an offensive, unacceptable and racist comment posted to social media today, allegedly by one of our students. This language is abhorrent and has no place in a community that is deeply committed to anti-racism. Full message: bit.ly/3lNlMrZ

    An aerial view of campus shows Green Hall and the surrounding area lit by dappled, golden light from the rising sun on a quiet fall morning. A navy and Keaney blue shield-shaped badge on top displays the University of Rhode Island's logo and says, "Carnegie classification R1, top-tier research university."

    Students walk between Lippitt Hall and the Quad on campus. Overlaid text announces URI’s ranking as the #1 public university in New England by the Wall Street Journal's 2025 Best Colleges in the U.S. rankings. The students are captured in casual conversation and heading to class. Dappled sunlight hits a curved bronze sculpture and the historic stone façade of Lippitt Hall.
