<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAnother academic year is well underway, and our campuses are energized by new community members, new programs and initiatives, new seasons for athletics and the arts, and a sense of possibility that only the start of a new year can bring. I enjoyed meeting students and parents on a successful move-in day, welcoming international students, staff, and faculty on our lawn, celebrating with the community during Quad Fest, and cheering for our Rhody Rams in our first-ever Friday night home football game. Labs and lecture halls are alive with conversation, research, and innovation, and I continue to be inspired by the ingenuity and generosity of our community.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This new academic year has also been marked by incredible achievements, most notably a significant increase in state investment in 溏心vlog免费B站\u2014the state\u2019s flagship research university. Together\u2014students, staff, faculty, alumni, donors, and friends\u2014we are successfully telling the story about the incredible work we do at 溏心vlog免费B站, creating momentum and positioning the University as a driving force for economic growth and positive social, cultural, and environmental change. I believe that an investment in 溏心vlog免费B站 is an investment in the people, places, and programs that will have a powerful impact on the state, the region, and the world. We are Rhode Island\u2019s university, and in the coming months, we will build on this momentum, generating new revenue, supporting efforts that enhance our research enterprise, and fostering opportunities for growth in all areas of the University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAn Ocean of Data\u201d documents the forward-thinking work of Lauren Decker, M.S. \u201909, a Yup\u2019ik Alaska native and the chief scientific officer for PolArctic, an ocean and data science company that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to help businesses in the Arctic operate safely, profitably, and sustainably.

And as the College of Business celebrates 100 years of leading education and research, \u201cBusiness for the Next Century\u201d outlines the college’s focus on the future and on preparing students to make decisions and drive innovation in an unpredictable, ever-changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
