Community, Equity and Diversity

The University of Rhode Island is passionate about promoting a campus culture and community where everyone is welcomed, respected and valued for who they are. To succeed and lead in the 21st century world, with its wide diversity of cultures, lifestyles, beliefs, abilities, religions, political systems, and philosophies, we all must develop the ability to communicate, understand, and engage productively while embracing and acknowledging differences. In celebrating this diversity and the University’s reflection of a growing, global community, our focus remains clear: to create an inclusive and supportive environment where each individual can thrive.
