    🎉 Anchors Away Day at Rhode Island College – Welcome to the Class of 2028! ⚓️

    Anchors Away Day is your official start at RIC—and it’s mandatory for all first-year students beginning in Fall 2025. (Transfer students are invited, but not required to attend.) This high-energy day is designed to help you feel confident, connected, and ready to start your college journey!

    We kick things off with the First Year Welcome Breakfast (8:00 AM), then dive into an exciting schedule that includes:

    • Welcome Session & Info Hour with RIC-100, Open Books Open Minds, and Title IX

    • Lunch and Student Activities Fair on the Quad—lunch is free, no meal plan needed!

    • Meet Your Mentor and get help finding your classes

    • FYE Group Activities with your RIC/NURS/BUS/COLL/HONR-100 cohort

    After 3 PM, the fun continues with optional interest sessions like fun DIY activities, campus tours, a syllabus workshop, Title IX lab time, and the Math Placement Exam.

    Wrap up the day with free dinner and an epic evening at Lawn on RIC, featuring food trucks, and more!

    ⚓ Let’s launch your college adventure—Anchors Away!
