During this period of great challenge, uncertainty and concern for our loved ones, know that we are all one family. The University of Rhode Island is built by the community of our students, our alumni, by our athletes, artists and scholars, by our staff and by our talented faculty. It is as one community that we explore, discover, learn, imagine and create. It is as one community that we will do everything possible to protect and support each other. Our thoughts, empathy and affection are with you all. Imagine the beauty of our campus, of walking through our Quadrangle in the sunshine, and know that there will be a day soon when we welcome you home to Kingston, Rhode Island.
