  • ONE HUNDRED and THIRTY-FIFTH COMMENCEMENT V
    ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY-FIFTH COMMENCEMENT v May Twenty-First, Twenty-Second, and Twenty-Third Two Thousand and Twenty-One FROM THE PRESIDENT “For 129 years, the students, staff, and faculty have made, and will continue to make, the University of Rhode Island a force for good in America and the world. Our community embodies respect for higher learning, individual expression, and people of all backgrounds, and we hold these values foremost in our beliefs and actions.” —David M. Dooley Dear Class of 2021, As we cap an unprecedented academic year, during which we have been tested daily by an uncompromising virus, I have seen us come together to accomplish what at times seemed like the impossible. I am incredibly proud of how our graduating class has responded to this crisis. Your resilience, ingenuity, and courage during this difficult period have earned you a special place in the great history of the University of Rhode Island. The COVID-19 pandemic has challenged all of us, forcing us to reevaluate everything we do—even our simplest interactions with friends and colleagues. We fell back on our strengths as a diverse and dynamic community so we could resume an in-person experience that started in the fall of 2020 and concludes in this celebration today. It was the teamwork of faculty and staff who devised and executed the plan to get us through the pandemic together. In a few months, we rolled out a testing program that helped us limit the spread of COVID-19 on campus. We reshaped education, building a structure to safely deliver thousands of courses to about 17,000 students, while at the same time planting the seeds for the classrooms of the future.

  • Community Review & Soundings
    COMMUNITY REVIEW & SOUNDINGS Spring, 2013 Volume 25, Issue 1 Looking Back at 2012 by Stacy Cates-Carney, Executive Director/Community Leader For every year is costly, As you know well. Nothing Is given that is not Taken, and nothing taken That was not first a gift. s I look back at each year in the community this fragment from a poem by Wendell Berry comes to mind. I do indeed know all Atoo well how costly each year is and perhaps we wonder at times about the price we pay. While there is a real financial cost to our daily life and efforts in L’Arche, I believe the even greater cost is giving of ourselves…our lives. And so I read on in Berry’s poem…. The gift is balanced by Its total loss, and yet, And yet the light breaks in, Heaven seizing its moments That are at once its own And yours. Light does indeed break in and we have some many moments of profound grace, growth and transformation in L’Arche - 2012 was no exception. We implemented guidelines on Healthy Boundaries and Safe Relationships crafted by the Community Council - this involved input at assistant meetings and special house meetings with both core members and assistants. We had talked about wanting to do this work for years and it felt like quite an accomplishment to bring it to fruition. We had some wonderful times of play and celebration. Spirit Week in February was a time of fun fellowship and also the culmination of our fitness challenge month.

  • UK Music Industry Co-Sign Letter
    We, representatives from the music industry, write to demonstrate and express our determination, that love, unity and friendship, not division and hatred, must and will always be our common cause. In recent months through a series of events and incidents, the anti-black racists and antisemites, plus those who advocate islamophobia, xenophobia, homophobia and transphobia, have repeatedly demonstrated that they clearly want us all to fail. Whether it be systemic racism and racial inequality highlighted by continued police brutality in America or anti-Jewish racism promulgated through online attacks, the result is the same: suspicion, hatred and division. We are at our worst when we attack one another. Minorities from all backgrounds and faiths have struggled and suffered. From slavery to the Holocaust we have painful collective memories. All forms of racism have the same roots – ignorance, lack of education and scapegoating. We, the British music industry are proudly uniting to amplify our voices, to take responsibility, to speak out and stand together in solidarity. Silence is not an option. There is a global love for music, irrespective of race, religion, sexuality and gender. Music brings joy and hope and connects us all. Through music, education and empathy we can find unity. We stand together, to educate and wipe out racism now and for our future generations. Co-signed: ARTISTS 220 Kid aboutagirl ADP Ady Suleiman A. G.

It is through your help that I am here now. I would like to thank Timothy Nance, my high school English teacher, whose enthusiasm in the classroom and love of teaching first inspired me towards academia. I would have never gotten this far without his initial support and for that I will be forever grateful. A special thanks to Dr. Amy Kaufman and Dr. Laura White whose courses helped me find and then shape my passion for the ecoGothic. It was through their courses and the scholarship of Bernice Murphy and Tom J. Hillard that this thesis first took root. I am additionally grateful for Dr. White’s help as part of my thesis committee. Her recommended texts and knowledge of ecocriticism were essential. My deep appreciation also goes to Dr.
