Hi! My name is Imani Fleming. I am from
Chicago, Illinois, and am currently studying journalism and
political science. I know I made the right decision to attend
URI because I’ve gained a sense of independence,
taken incredible courses in subjects I am passionate
about, and met lifelong friends from all over the country.
My friends and I love stargazing on the Quad, watching
the sunset at Narragansett Town Beach, and heading
into Providence to catch a movie or go ice-skating.
As a reporter for the university newspaper, The Good 5
Cent Cigar, and editor of its companion newscast,
I have applied the skills I have learned in all my journalism
classes. I have even anchored our university newscast
and attended a journalism conference in New York City.
By joining the tour-guiding team and taking on leadership
roles like president of URI’s Black Student Union, I have
grown as a student and as a person. I hope you enjoy hearing
about all URI has to offer and the amazing opportunities
that come with being a part of our Rhody family!
