URI, Prout Classes Cancelled; No Word on Gansett Yet

Editor’s Note: As of 6:40 p.m., the Narragansett, Westerly and Chariho school districts are also closed Friday, making it pretty much a clean sweep statewide, except for the portfolio presentations at South Kingstown High School.

All classes at the University of Rhode Island are cancelled for Friday and Saturday, as well as the “Big Chill” weekend events. Classes are also cancelled for Prout for Friday.

In addition, all of the other major Rhode Island colleges and universities – RIC, Brown, Johnson and Wales, RISD – have cancelled classes. For the full list for these institutions and others, click here.
