Today we honor and Celebrate Mr. Benjamin Roberts who, on February 15, 1848, filed the first school integration lawsuit in US history on behalf of his young daughter Sarah Roberts in Boston, Massachusetts. He was also represented by one of the first African-American Lawyers in US history, Robert Morris (pictured) when Mr. Morris was only 25 years old.

This date is particularly important as many PWI institutions in Higher Education are making increased Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion efforts in this same spirit. We pay tribute to Mr. Roberts and his selfless fight in the name of equity for Black people everywhere. The fight continues.

The Talent Development program and the Center of Career and Experiential Education (CCEE) are partnering to offer TD sessions for first and second-year Scholars. It is highly encouraged for Scholars to attend.

If you have declared your major, sign up for the first session, "Maximize your Major", to explore careers, double majors, and minors.

If you have not declared your major, attend "Exploring Majors and Careers" to explore some pathways and resources URI has to offer. All sessions will be offered virtually. Scholars are required to sign-up through Handshake. Check your email from your advisor for more information and links to sign-up!
