    Be a Class Ambassador

    Class years ending in 0 or 5 will receive special recognition at this year’s Homecoming celebration on September 19-21, 2025. We’re looking for alumni ambassadors from each milestone anniversary class to help spread the word to classmates and encourage them to attend.

    Class ambassadors can help by sharing Homecoming information within their networks of URI classmates and friends. Volunteer opportunities during Homecoming weekend will also be available. Being an ambassador is a fun way to get involved and reconnect with Rhody friends!
