URI student Tiffany Ferreira of Rumford completes fall 2016 internship

Kingston, RI - University of Rhode Island student Tiffany Ferreira of Rumford, RI, recently completed a fall 2016 internship with Rhode Island Family Court CASA.
In an internship, URI students have the opportunity to apply theory to practice in the field, and then return to the classroom ready to apply practice to theory. URI's experiential learning coordinators partner with faculty to design internships with structured learning outcomes that will provide students with a competitive advantage when they graduate.
Developed with faculty across campus, many internships may provide students with unique inter-disciplinary experiences. In addition, the University's online element helps students continue to be engaged with their experiential coordinator and peers throughout the semester or year.
The University of Rhode Island's pioneering research extends the University's influence well beyond its coastal borders, while its unique interdisciplinary courses provide its 16,637 undergraduate and graduate students with global opportunities in an intimate environment. In May 2016, more than 3,200 undergraduate and about 660 graduate degrees were awarded. The University now has more than 120,000 alumni worldwide.
