Rural Students @ Brown seeks to build a community of students with a shared rural experience or interest in rural issues. The purpose of the club is to raise awareness of challenges rural students face in college admissions and college life. The club aims to support and advocate for rural students by hosting community events including a bonfire, ice skating, RIPTA trips, as well as by cultivating conversations through our Rurality in the Ivy Conference. RS@B also collaborates with the Office of Admissions on fly-in programs for rural high school students and guidance counselors, and with the Office of New Student Programs on events that introduce students to public transportation around campus.
