Hi! My name is John LaRose!

As a Transfer Admission Counselor at the University of Rhode Island, I'm here to help make your transition to URI as smooth and exciting as possible. Whether you’re just starting to explore your options or ready to apply, I can answer your questions and guide you through the process. I’m passionate about helping students find their perfect fit at URI and look forward to connecting with you! 

Favorite place on campus: The Fascitelli Center for Advanced Engineering
Best URI food: Mainfare
Favorite thing about URI: Strong sense of community on campus
Advice for new students: Get involved early!

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).
