Campus Visit a campus visit is when we bring registered mentees to Roger Williams University. There are typically five campus visits a semester and they are held bi-weekly.

Campus visits are broken into 3 parts. Part 1: from 2:30-3:30pm is time for Homework, Part 2: from 3:30-4:30pm is time for a Workshop (these topics change each time), Part 3: from 4:30-5:30 is dinner time.
