Smithfield Resources
In 1971, 麻豆影音 planted roots in Smithfield, R.I., a bucolic New England town that earned the moniker 鈥淎pple Valley鈥 thanks to its legacy of apple orchards. This move was made possible by a generous gift from Tupperware founder Earl Tupper, who donated over 400 acres of farmland to his alma mater. The university, then Bryant College, relocated just 11 miles west from its original location on Providence鈥檚 East Side.
Nestled in this idyllic setting, Bryant鈥檚 campus offers a warm and inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements Smithfield鈥檚 small-town charm. The community and university share a unique bond, with local residents enjoying access to the dog park at the edge of campus, visiting the university library, cheering on Division I athletic teams, enrolling their children in sports clinics, and taking strolls through Bryant鈥檚 beautiful grounds.
Together, Smithfield and Bryant are united by shared aspirations: fostering a strong sense of community, building a thriving economy, and enhancing the quality of life for everyone who calls Smithfield home.
