The Student Life Hub

Located in the Student Union, the Student Life Hub at Rhode Island College serves as a central resource for students. We support many aspects of engagement and community on campus. The Hub offers a wide range of services aimed at enhancing the student experience.

The Hub serves as an information desk for all aspects of Student Life, with trained operations assistants who are able to answer any questions a student, faculty, staff member, or visitor may have.
We provide guidance on student organizations, campus events, while helping students get involved and stay connected.
Students can also rent out equipment for the games available in the Beestro, including pool, air hockey, Nintendo Switch, etc.

Whether students are seeking social connections or need assistance navigating college life, the Student Life Hub is an essential part of RIC’s student support system.
