Our program is one that has been in the works since October in the hopes that your orientation experience is among your most memorable times at RWU. As you begin your Roger Williams journey, you might be unsure what to expect and we hope that you take full advantage of what is offered. We truly hope that you take the time to look around, utilize the resources that are here for you, and connect with your classmates. With our main goal being to ease your transition into college, we have designed our Orientation program to do just that.

Our Orientation Advisors staff have dedicated time and energy to this program out of passions for RWU and its community members in the hopes of creating an inviting, motivating, and memorable experience. Orientation may just be the beginning of your journey here, but it is also the perfect time to begin stepping out of your comfort zone. Risk taking, unfamiliarity, and uncertainty are all terms that describe college. Throughout your time here, you will be able to learn about yourself and your place in the community.

When you are arrive this Fall, you will be welcomed by over 300 student leaders including Athletes, Peer Mentors, Resident Advisors, Commuter Assistants, in addition to the Orientation Advisors staff. Your first few weeks will lay the foundation of your education here, we also encourage you to take advantage of our Weeks of Welcome events. These events will allow you to learn about outside the classroom experiences and how you can get involved. We hope that you will visit our Student Involvement Fair to explore and join clubs and organizations to help you in your transition.

Although you will be introduced to various departments throughout Orientation and this guide, this Fall will provide time to get acquainted first hand and get an answer to any questions you may have. As the semester persists, always remember the resources that are prepared to partner with you to make your transition the very best that it can be!

We would like to leave you with a piece of advice as you prepare to join our community...Keeping an open mind is the key to success here at Roger.

We look forward to meeting each and every one of you!

RWU has housing options to fit your student’s living style!

The Department of Residence Life and Housing recognizes that living on campus is an integral part of the total educational package at RWU. Our residential communities offer an environment where residents grow and learn while having the opportunity to: • meet and live with people from different backgrounds • make new friends • develop leadership skills through participation in their residence Hall Council • learn things about oneself and about others that can’t be learned in a classroom • grow personally and further develop individual unique goals and values • develop one’s own lifestyle while learning to live with others Getting to Know Our Staff Community Directors (CDs) – The professional live-in staff members who are responsible for everything that goes on in their residential community. CDs oversee the day-to-day operations of their community, lead and supervise the engagement strategies for residential students, serve as a resource to staff and students alike, and enforce University policies.

Resident Assistants (RA) – Each residential community is populated with a group of outstanding student leaders who act as immediate resources to enhance your student’s residence life experience. Students become engaged in their community through educational and social engagement strategies that the RAs will create, and host based on the needs of the students within it. https://www.rwu.edu/undergraduate/ student-life/living-rwu/contact-housing The First-Year Experience Within your student’s residential community, staff members work to create a comprehensive, diverse first-year experience in which each and every student has a place to belong, to explore, and to call home.

Consistent programming, comprehensive knowledge of campus resources, and visible presence in the community on the part of the RAs will help your student transition successfully into college, and become an integral part of our RWU community!

Living Learning Communities (LLCs) Within LLCs, students with common personal and academic interests can live together and capitalize on the opportunity to extend their learning beyond the realms of the classroom. LLC RAs strive to aid students in furthering personal and intellectual growth by integrating academic and social learning.

HELP MAKE OUR RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES FEEL LIKE HOME •H elp your student feel at home in their new room by packing a mix of new belongings and touches of home • Bring pictures and other small mementos!

•E ncourage your student to settle into their new living space – remind them that everyone else is feeling the same, and to enjoy the new living experience.

• Getting involved is a great way to make friends and build strong ties to the RWU community • Promote involvement as a healthy way to balance academics.

•S upport your student as they test the waters in this new environment. Allow them their independence.

There are opportunities here for everyone.

• Encourage them to consider their options, and to begin making their own decisions. 12 13 •S uggest that finding friends to study with can yield positive effects on a student’s academic performance, especially if they live in a community where neighbors study similar subjects.

•E ncourage your student to explore all of the various clubs and organizations available to them, by attending the Involvement Fair – held outside on the Quad (weather permitting) on the 2nd Wednesday of classes.

WAYS TO GET IN TOUCH WITH YOUR STUDENT • T raditional Mail: College students love mail. All residential students can retrieve their mail from the Mail Room located at the center of campus. Show them you care by sending your student a letter when they least expect it (Of course, it doesn’t hurt if that letter accompanies a batch of homemade cookies or brownies...).

• Cell Phone: Find an inexpensive cellular plan and schedule time to call each other. You will both have something to look forward to.

• Email: Record your student’s campus email address and keep in touch with them electronically. Consider sharing links, images, and other news with them to keep current. Some of the links they choose to send back might surprise you.

• T ext, Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram... If you feel like you know how to speak the language, feel free to connect with your student via whatever social media mode you choose. Just remember to keep it short!

Please be sure that your student has provided accurate emergency contact info by logging on here: https://www.rwu.edu/current-students/emergency-info. This will help ensure that we have accurate information for both you and your student should an emergency arise and electronic information needs to be disseminated.

ROOMMATE CONFLICTS AND ACADEMIC PROBLEMS ARE NATURAL IN THIS NEW ENVIRONMENT •T ry your best not to get involved with roommate issues. This is an opportunity to learn vital social and professional skills that your student might not have access to in the classroom. If students are unable to resolve roommate conflicts on their own, they may enlist support from the RA or Community Director of their residential community. This is part of the educational process that lends itself to your student’s personal growth and development.

•E ncourage your student to take advantage of the academic and counseling resources available to them for any kind of situation. It is all part of the learning process.

•F ailing an assignment or an exam is not the end of the world. Help your student to focus on finding resources to help them move forward.

16

SHOULD MAINTENANCE CONCERNS ARISE, HERE IS SOME INSIGHT INTO HOW OUR WORK ORDER SYSTEM AND PROCESS WORKS: •A ll requests must be submitted online through the Facilities page on http://rwu.edu/about/university-offices/facilities/work-order-system • The student will receive email confirmation once the request has been received.

•O nce a work order is submitted, students should make sure that personal belongings are moved away from the site in question. The maintenance staff will not touch or move student items.

• I f maintenance has not been completed by the requested completion date, please email rwuhousing@rwu.edu and someone will get back to them within 48 hours.

TIPS TO REMEMBER AS YOUR STUDENT LIVES IN OUR COMMUNITIES: Academics take on a whole new meaning •A sk questions about your student’s schedule so that you have a better idea of when to try and get in touch with them. Do not worry if you cannot reach them right away. Remember, aside from going to class, they might be at club meetings, at a study group, having dinner, showering or sleeping.

Understand that everything you knew about high school academics might change, including study habits, workload, and testing.

•E ncourage your student to seek out the appropriate resources, such as professors, tutors, academic advisors, and other supportive academic consultants.

Transitioning back home is not always easy •B e upfront about any expectations you may have for your student when they return home. Do not assume that everything is understood.

•F ind ways to make your student feel at home and show them that they are always welcome and appreciated.

•H elp ease your student’s transition by understanding that their sleeping, eating, and other habits may be completely different from what the routine was before college.

If your student is struggling, there are many resources available •E ncourage your student to start with their Resident Assistant (RA). RA’s are residential student leaders with a great deal of campus experience and are there to help and guide your student.

•T he Center for Student Academic Success (CSAS) has resources to assist your student with academic related concerns and issues. https://www.rwu.edu/ undergraduate/academics/student-academic-success •T he Counseling Center is also available to assist students through one-on-one meetings and group sessions in an effort to navigate the broad range of issues that may face a student related to academic and personal success. https://www.rwu. edu/undergraduate/student-life/health-and-counseling/counseling-center • Student

Accessibility Services (SAS) may also be a place to seek accommodations. https://www.rwu.edu/undergraduate/academics/student-academic-success/student- accessibility-services

DINING Every college campus has food, but not every college campus has Bon Appétit. According to a student satisfaction survey, our food is in the top 5% in the country. All first year students are enrolled on the Carte Blanche Gold meal plan which includes unlimited meals in Upper Commons plus 125 Hawk Dollars per semester, which can be used at any of our six retail cafés on campus, and 3 guest passes per semester.

Hawk Dollars can be used in the following locations: • Upper Commons • Lower Commons • Hawk’s Nest • Global Café • Law School Café • Convenience Store in North Residence Hall • Baypoint Dining Hall • Café Express

Commuter Students

Roger Williams University has created several dining plans for the Commuter and Law Student community to provide greater access to the new Upper Commons Dining Café and all the other new services on campus. When you purchase one of these plans, you can be sure that you have access to healthy, nutritional food choices when you’re on campus.

• C ommuter Plan: This plan offers the best value for commuting students. You will receive 16 meals per semester than can be eaten at any meal period, as well as 300 Hawk Dollars • 125 Block Plan: Ideal plan for apartment dwellers who want to eat an average of 7-8 meals per week on campus and use 400 in Hawk Dollars throughout the semester as well as 3 guest passes per semester.

Hawk Dollars

Hawk Dollars are accepted like cash in all our dining locations. Hawk Dollars are a “declining balance account” that works on the same principles as a debit card. You can use your points to purchase beverages, snacks, or even a full meal in all of the RWU retail and residential locations.

Each time you make a purchase, the amount is subtracted from your Hawk Dollar balance. Your Hawk Dollars do carry over from semester to semester but not from year to year. Additional Hawk Dollars can be added to your account at any time. RWU Points Much like Hawk Dollars, RWU Points are accepted like cash in all our dining locations and are a “declining balance account” that works on the same principle as a debit card. However, your RWU Points are assigned when a customer adds extra money to their OneCard at the Bursars Office or OneCard Office.

All students living in RWU residence halls must be enrolled in either of the Carte Blanche Gold or the 200 Block Plan. Visit the Roger Williams University Bon Appétit website at dining.rwu.edu for daily menus, service hours and more information on campus dining.

All Center services are available to full-time RWU students and at no cost.

Center Administration:

Christopher Bailey, Ph.D., Director/Psychologist Maureen Minarik, Ph.D., Assistant Director/Psychologist www.rwu.edu/undergraduate/student-life/health-and-counseling/counseling-center

Description:

The staff within the Counseling Center are a diverse group of professionals comprised of psychologists, a social worker, a post-doctorate fellow, a part-time consulting psychiatrist, doctoral psychology interns, and support staff. The clinical staff assist students with a wide variety of personal concerns and support students in enhancing their resiliency. Our staff has a strong commitment to working with students from diverse backgrounds. Our services are confidential in conjunction with ethical guidelines and legal standards in the state of Rhode Island. This means that staff cannot share information about whether or not a student has visited the Center, or any information about the content of any meetings without the student’s written permission.

Services Offered:

• C ounseling: Individual and group counseling is provided in a confidential manner. Counseling tends to be short-term with the goal of helping students effectively manage personal difficulties.

Appointments are initiated by a student and not by others, and are typically scheduled in advance.

• Outreach: Staff offer presentations and trainings on a variety of topics such as anxiety, depression, eating concerns, happiness, suicide prevention, and time management.

• Consultation: Administrators, faculty, family members, friends, and university staff can consult with Center staff regarding students who they have concerns about. Center staff also collaborate with other university personnel in committees and task forces.

• Emergencies: When the Center is open, a student can be seen on a walk-in-basis in emergency situations. When the Center is closed, such as during evenings or on weekends, Center staff can provide consultation to other university personnel during emergency situations. To initiate this, Public Safety or a Student Life staff member (e.g., a CORE) would first be contacted, and they in turn would reach out to a Center clinical staff member.

HEALTH SERVICES Located on the 2nd floor in the Center for Student Development building, across from Cedar Hall.

At Health Services, we provide students with a wide range of clinical services including treatment of acute injury or illness, immunizations, wellness promotion/disease prevention education, preventive screenings, and laboratory services.

For emergency medical care on campus, students should call Public Safety at 401-254-3333.

For emergency medical care off campus, students should call 911.

Health Services does not provide sick notes for class absences. It is a student’s responsibility to email their professor as soon as possible to inform them. The decision to excuse a class absence is up to each professor.

Several over-the-counter medicines (such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, Mucinex, Zyrtec, Benadryl, Pepcid, throat lozenges, and emergency contraception) are available for purchase at Health Services for a nominal fee. Students do not need to have an appointment to purchase these medicines. Just stop by the reception window and ask to purchase the medicine.

PUBLIC SAFETY AND TRANSPORTATION

The Department of Public Safety strives to provide a safe and secure environment conducive to living and learning. Our efforts to maintain a safe and secure environment rely on our ability to develop collaborative relationships with the many communities that make up the University. We believe that through partnering and problem solving, we can continue to make RWU one of the safest Universities in the country.

COMMUTER STUDENT SERVICES We understand that being a commuter student can present many challenges. Not only do commuter students have to deal with the daily commute, but often the need to balance home, social, and academic responsibilities. Here at RWU, we provide several services and programs to help commuter students participate in campus events and foster a sense of belonging within the campus community.

Commuter students at RWU are encouraged to take advantage of all that the University has to offer -- from our 8000†sq.-foot Recreation Center and our waterfront kayaks and sailing lessons to our dining facilities and lounges across campus as well as library facilities in Bristol and Providence. Other popular hangout areas include the Commuter Lounge in Stonewall Terrace - Building 4, which commuter students can use as a study space and location to spend time in between classes, the Atrium in Global Heritage Hall (equipped with a Starbucks), the Law School Bistro, and the C-Store in North Campus Residence Hall (complete with Dunkin’ Donuts). Commuter students may also purchase the Commuter Meal Plan. Please go to http://rwu.edu/campus-life/housing-dining/dining-experience/dining-plans for up-to-date information on the plan.

One of the valuable resources we offer to commuter students is the commuter student club, Commuters in Action (CIA). This is a great avenue through which commuter students can meet, hang out, and support one another while getting used to the life of a commuter. We invite all students to attend the Student Involvement Fair in early September to learn about the many clubs and organizations that RWU has to offer.

Another key resource for our commuter students is our student staff of Commuter Assistants. These are student leaders who want to help new commuter students acclimate to campus life. They hold one-on-one conversations with first-year and transfer commuter students, plan fun events for students to attend, in collaboration with CIA, and help with the overall adjustment to campus life. We encourage you to connect with the Commuter Assistants when you visit campus this August!

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT AT ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY Roger Williams University’s mission is to strengthen society through engaged teaching and learning.

Across the four-year experience at RWU and in both curricular and co-curricular contexts, we provide our students with community engagement, civic scholarship, and experiential learning opportunities that will serve them throughout life -- personally, professionally, and as citizens. In 2020, RWU was recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching as a “community engaged campus” and is one of only two universities in Rhode Island to hold this important designation.

Feinstein Center for Service Learning and Community Engagement

The Feinstein Center is dedicated to advancing collaborations between the University and our community partners. When students move beyond the campus boundaries and into the community, their expertise is tested and horizons expanded as they collaborate with community partners in the region. Community engagement enables students to gain valuable hands-on experience and develop skills relevant to their fields of study, while also having a positive impact on local communities.

We bring the University’s core value of “commitment to community” to life each fall when the entire entering class participates in the Community Connections program, a required day of community engaged learning held during first-year orientation. And that’s just the beginning: the Feinstein Center helps students identify non-profit or government agencies so that they can utilize their federal work-study award in the local community. The Volunteer Clearinghouse links students, faculty, and staff with opportunities with non-profits with a variety of ways to engage locally. There are many annual on-campus events throughout the year that provide students with opportunities to engage including Voter Registration, the Turkey Basket Contest and Food Drive, Hawks for the Holidays gift program, 5th Grade Day, and the Alternative Spring Break “Stay Break” program.

38

Community Partnerships Center

RWU students also have the opportunity to engage and learn more about issues confronting various communities through community engaged courses and academic research projects. The Community Partnerships Center (CPC) links faculty with nonprofit organizations, municipalities, government agencies and communities in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Through these partnerships, RWU students are immersed in project-based educational experiences (coursework, team projects, and internships) that address important community needs and provide real world experience relevant to their growth as scholars and future practitioners.

“We promote community engagement at every level and move well beyond the traditional conception of community service. For us, community engagement is an intellectual and practical exchange with communities, where our students are able to apply their classroom learning in a community context, while also collaborating with community partners to help them achieve their goals. The work we do helps organizations build capacity, run more effectively, and develop needed resources such as business plans, communications materials, architectural renderings, policy briefs, and so much more.�

Student Accessibility Services (SAS) is a service-based offering available to students with documented disabilities that substantially limit a major life activity such as learning and/or living on campus. We work with students, faculty, and administrators to ensure inclusiveness and access in all aspects of a student’s life at RWU. Students who have disclosed disability to SAS make up roughly 14% of the student population. We support students with a wide range of disabilities such as learning, mobility, medical, visual, hearing, mental health, autism spectrum, head trauma, and more.

The most commonly requested accommodations are extended time for test-talking (time and a half), notetaking assistance, requests for alternate/electronic texts, and accessible residential life accommodations.

All accommodations are determined on a case-by-case basis.

We invite students who wish to register with SAS to fill out the Online Intake Form, which will allow them to tell us a bit about themselves and submit their documentation. The Online Intake Form is available from the SAS homepage (see link above). Scroll down to “New SAS Students: Complete the Intake Process,” and you will be directed to the Intake Form. Students are welcome to set up an appointment, in person or virtually, to discuss their needs as well. We look forward to hearing from you!
