The Inner Space Center at URI's Graduate School of Oceanography will play a critical supporting role and so will the Custodial Services team. As it has for the last year and a half during the COVID-19 pandemic, the University is relying on its ingenuity, expertise and teamwork to give the class of 2021 memorable, in-person commencement ceremonies that start Friday, May 21, and end Sunday, May 23, at Meade Stadium. Subscribe All participating graduates will dress in traditional regalia, have their names announced, cross the stage and have professional photographs taken. To maintain the health and safety of the URI community, in-person celebrations will be limited to graduates only.
