Nikki Long named a 2015 University of Rhode Island 101 Mentor

nikkilongPARSIPPANY —University of Rhode Island  (URI) 101 Mentors play an influential role helping first-year students in their transition to college life. Mentors create effective and comfortable partnerships with instructors and become resourceful team leaders for all students. Working with an instructor, URI 101 Mentors create lessons that develop essential academic skills, encourage involvement, improve personal responsibility, celebrate diversity and more.

Nikki Long, a 2013 graduate of Parsippany Hills High School, has been named a 2015 URI 101 Mentor.

URI 101 is an introductory seminar for incoming students, intended to assist in the transition to college, from academic planning to use of resources and programs for academic success. The course is required of all new freshmen and transfer students with less than 24 credits.

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 2015, more than 3,000 undergraduate and about 660 graduate degrees were awarded. The University now has more than 114,000 alumni worldwide.
