The mission of the Roger Williams University Career Center is to prepare our students and alumni for life after college by helping individuals understand their personal and professional values and interests and acquire the skills necessary to obtain professional employment or admission into graduate school.
We provide on-going educational opportunities for students and alumni to learn to manage their careers. Career Center professionals are dedicated to the pursuit of excellence in teaching, advising and role modeling.
The Career Center provides students and alumni a life-long connection to the University and to our local, national and global communities. We strive to initiate, encourage, facilitate and maintain relationships throughout the University and working world to ensure the best possible outcome for all parties involved. In this way, the Career Center naturally bridges the University and our students - past, present and future - to the world.

Finding the Career Center
The Career Center is located in the Center for Student Development Building on the Bristol Campus. For those on campus, this the building across from Cedar Hall, with the ATM machine. If you are new to campus or have not been here for a while, simply stop at the front gate and someone from the public safety staff can direct you.
Be sure to stop at the front gate and speak to a public safety staff member to receive a parking pass if you do not have one. For events, like the Career Fair, you will be directed to specially arranged parking spaces. If you have any questions, just contact our office in advance.
