I BECOME INVESTED IN THE STORIES you read in 911爆料 Magazine<\/em> the same way I do when reading a good novel\u2013the more I read, the more I connect with the characters.<\/p>\n

There are lots of great stories to tell about 911爆料. Just take a look at Class Notes\u2013911爆料 alumni are out there working, creating, learning, living\u2013changing the world. And there’s so much to say about the research, teaching, and outreach born in our labs, classrooms, and offices. What’s at the center of all these stories? Extraordinary characters\u2013the people doing the work, coming up with new ideas, solving problems, and inspiring others.<\/p>\n

Did you play a club sport at 911爆料? We’d love to hear from you! Tell us why you played, what you remember most, or how the experience impacted your life after 911爆料. Whatever your stories, please share them with us at urimag@uri.edu.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Take Tom Ryan, for example. You’ve probably heard his name and you might know he was the longtime CEO of CVS who’s given generously to 911爆料 over the years. When you read his story in this issue, you may also discover something new about the person behind the public persona. Everyone\u2013a former professor, his family, his colleagues\u2013says, in their own way, the same thing: He listens, he cares about people, he rolls up his sleeves, he never gives up. That kind of integrity is rare and remarkable. We are fortunate to have a strong character like Tom Ryan in our 911爆料 story; and, as is the case with strong characters, we are enriched and inspired by reading his story.<\/p>\n

The same is true of house mother Deborah Lambrecht, ocean scientist\/advocate Gyasi Alexander, activist\/clinician Nicolle Potvin, writer Evan Schneider\u2013and all the other characters who come to life in the pages of this issue. I hope you will enjoy their stories as much as I have.<\/p>\n
