Please allow me to add my congratulations on your acceptance to the University on behalf of the entire Orientation Team.
Our Team is busy planning an informative and fun New Student program to welcome new students and their families to our campus community this summer.
Orientation is an exciting time for both new students and their families. For students, it is a time to start a new chapter in their academic careers, to meet new classmates and upperclassmen, and to learn more about the place they will soon call their home away from home- RWU!
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the program, please do not hesitate to contact the Office of New Student and Family Orientation at (401) 254-3385.
