More on How We Support Your School/Life Balance
"Being able to be yourself and living and learning in an affirming and equitable place is vital to good mental health."
Our Unity Center houses identity-specific resources and services for students of color, LGBTQ+ students, students that experience gender disparity, students with compromised citizenship status, first generation students, and students seeking interfaith services.
Our Learning 4 Life Center empowers students to overcome life obstacles on their journey to graduation such as access to basic needs, managing competing priorities, and navigating the campus systems.
"Learning 4 Life is exactly what every college campus should have, it is an all-inclusive space where students, faculty and staff can come and be welcomed with open arms. As a student who came into college afraid and not confident that I would be able to complete a college education, Learning 4 Life strengthened my confidence and served as a compass in what seemed like a foreign land to me."
Participating in athletics and recreation at RIC is a great move toward health and wellness. Whether you just want to keep active or you're looking to compete, we offer updated facilities, programming aimed at improving physical, emotional, intellectual, and social well-being, and high-quality Little East Conference coaches.
While you focus on academics and enjoying a full college experience, our Campus Police will focus on your safety. Our kind and approachable officers walk the campus and staff the Campus Police Office in order to be readily available to anyone needing assistance.
