Office Hours
Monday - Friday
8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Our office consists of Student Activities, Student Union, the Unity Center and the Military Resource Center.
Our office is positioned to support students navigate their educational experience, and provide multiple touch points and space for students to deepen their social interactions.
The Office of Student Life views our students as assets to the culture of Rhode Island College, and as such celebrates the collective success and mutual aid that shared wisdom can cultivate.
We work to see out students as their whole selves and challenge the notion that students are passive consumers. Working closely with Student Community Government, our student organizations, and student leaders, we prioritize and value student centered learning, student led initiatives and most importantly, student voice.
