Chapter Contacts

Chapters are a great way to stay connected with URI, to see old classmates, and to meet new friends. URI alumni chapters are organized both by location and affinity interest. You can become an automatic member of the chapter of your choice by participating in the Alumni Association's dues-paying membership program. As a chapter member, you'll receive regular notices of events and programs in your area and discounts on chapter events.

Take a look at our upcoming chapter events! If you are interested in joining a chapter or attending a scheduled event, contact your chapter representative listed below, or call the Alumni Relations Office at 401-874-2242.
