Ms. Amanda L. Alfano
- Assistant Director of Student Activities
Right off the quad, the Student Union is the heartbeat of student life on campus, a place of chance encounters, late night study sessions over pizza, and an unwavering RIC spirit that echoes in its halls.
Monday–Friday: 8:30 am–4:30 pm
(Summer hours: Monday–Friday: 8 am–4 pm)
Dedicated to student voice and governance, the Student Union houses our Student Community Government, all the student organization offices including our Student Programming Board, Greek Life, and the student-run marketing department (SA).
The Student Union is also home to Student Activities, the Military Resource Center, and Student Union Programming. You can get a quick bite at the Beestro on the lower level while you check your mailbox, and then head upstairs for the Student ID office and our bookstore. There’s a sky bridge that connects the Student Union with our Dining Hall, where you can also find the Unity Center. Right behind the Student Union is the Ducey Media Center that houses the student newspaper, The Anchor, our radio station WXIN, and Anchor TV.
All About Student Organizations
Founded in 1972 with the original goal of being the voice for all students, the Student Community Government (SCG) continues today, with even more responsibility. Now, SCG recognizes and funds current and new student organizations on campus, which then provide engaging events and opportunities for our student body.
To learn more about SCG or to get involved, visit the SCG website.
Student Activities sponsors a number of events throughout the semester.
The Career Empowerment Opportunity (CEO) Program is a mentoring program that connects current students with RIC graduates to support them in their field of interest and prepare them for the workforce.
Students, Faculty & Staff don’t miss this great RIC tradition! Community dinner with carving stations, fun activities, giveaways, along with BIG prizes!
