“URI Thanks You” Day is a way for President Robert L. Carothers to thank all URI employees for their hard work and dedication each year.
Initiated in 1995, the program has become an annual community-building program that is enjoyed by all. “Thank You” events are now held at both the Kingston and Providence campuses. Throughout the year before each event, the volunteer URI Thanks You Day Committee is hard at work planning the activities, working on the challenges, and filling the awards box with prizes generously donated by area vendors to be presented to the day's competition winners and more.
