The Department of Student Programs & Leadership, in conjunction with the Feinstein Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement, is conducting a Mock Super Tuesday Primary as part of our on campus voter education initiative, Hawk the Vote. When you log into myRWU you will be prompted to vote for your preferred candidate. Results of the on-campus mock primary will be available on Wednesday. If you are registered to vote in RI, we will provide information in the coming weeks on where to vote in the RI primary in March.
For more information or to get involved in voter registration and education initiatives, please e-mail tvongeorge@rwu.edu.
Our students, faculty and staff have completed a record 34,846 hours of service in 2007. This shows that the University has a true committment to community service.
As a result of our success, the Corporation for National and Community Service named RWU to the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll, this past February, for the University’s exceptional service efforts. We were recognized “with distinction,” one of just 127 schools in the nation to achieve this status.
Launched in 2006, the Community Service Honor Roll is the highest federal recognition a school can achieve for its commitment to service-learning and civic engagement. All of the hard work has definately paid off!
Campus Compact (http://www.compact.org/) is a coalition of nearly 1,100 college and university presidents — representing some 6 million students — who are committed to fulfilling the public purposes of higher education. As the only national association dedicated to this mission, Campus Compact is a leader in building civic engagement into campus and academic life.
We recently moved to the first floor of the Center for Student Development, Suite 100. Come visit!
