Hi! My name is Addie Whalen!

I am a recent graduate of the University of Rhode Island (December 2023) and I’m thrilled to be on the URI Admissions team! My time as a URI student was truly enriching, I participated in various activities like Women in Business, working at the Student Affairs office, and serving as Vice President of Recruitment for my sorority. I also made some of my closest friends during my college years. I remember feeling nervous about starting college, and I’m eager to share my experiences to help students navigate their transition from high school to this exciting new chapter.

Favorite place on campus: The Library
Best URI food: Caliente in the emporium
Favorite thing about URI: Our amazing community, from new friends to professors and staff!
Advice for new students: Remember every new student is in the same boat - don't be afraid to reach out to new people and join new activities and clubs.

Sign up for a virtual appointment with me by clicking available dates on the calendar. When you select a date, a list of times will appear under the calendar—so don't forget to scroll. After you submit your registration, you’ll receive a confirmation email with my Zoom link and additional details. If you don't see a time that works for you, reach out.

One-on-one appointments are an excellent opportunity for you to ask specific questions about URI and the application process. These conversations are not interviews (which we do not offer).
