“Prioritizing student-faculty research reflects our values and distinguishes us as a university, because larger universities can’t offer the same level of experience. RWU invests heavily in the research experience, provides one-on-one faculty mentoring and intentionally centers students at every stage of research throughout their undergraduate years so they gain foundational practices and evolve as researchers and scientists. Students aren’t just learning from a lab manual or protocol book – they’re doing the research and learning it themselves.”

Designing EXCELLENCE Dear RWU community, These words embrace the commitment we make every day to the Roger Williams University community – and they will hold true as we move forward each year with the goal of connecting and strengthening excellence across our university. It is an aspiration that is at once already within our institution, as much as something we will collectively strive for and build ever greater.

Over the last several years, hundreds of members of the university community have engaged in a deep exploration of what makes RWU a distinctive, resilient and enduring institution. We have dedicated the time to dream about and design our future together even in the midst of the pandemic, while one foot has been firmly placed in the present to keep us focused on the health and safety of our campuses, our families and friends around the globe. The shared vision has emerged as RWU’s Strategic Action Plan, Excellence By Design.

Through an iterative planning process, we are designing for the present and for our future as a university, directing our purpose toward the institutional priorities outlined in our strategic action plan.

This special publication provides a more in-depth introduction to the plan, which launched in October, celebrates the extraordinary accomplishments in teaching and learning that demonstrate the values and goals we uphold, and recognizes the many donors that believe in RWU and support our mission.

These are our hopes and ideas that are the foundation for the future, and our dreams already put into action at Roger Williams every day. This plan will help us to best serve our students and prepare them for the world in which they will work and act as leaders shaping their communities.

STRATEGIC DESIGN

A Roundtable with President Ioannis Miaoulis

On Oct. 25, following the launch of the first phase of RWU’s Strategic Action Plan, we asked senior leaders from across the university community to join President Miaoulis in a far-ranging conversation about creating the strategic plan and the five priority initiatives that will guide Roger Williams University’s future. The following pages provide excerpts of that conversation.

Our Roundtable Participants:

IOANNIS MIAOULIS, Ph.D. President

STEPHANIE AKUNVABEY, Ed.D.

Vice President for Equity and Inclusion & Chief Diversity Officer

GREGORY W. BOWMAN, Esq. Dean of RWU School of Law

Miaoulis: There are, however, two important changes. One is fostering interdisciplinarity across our schools and among our programs.

Ioannis Miaoulis: A strategic plan is essential We want to identify the strengths that already to move an institution forward. Every decision exist and connect them where multiple can be reviewed in the context of the strategic disciplines can work together on complex plan and if it aligns with our goals, then we go issues that are unique to our region, and, in forward. If we have to say no, we can point to some cases, are critical problems nationally and globally. That idea came from the faculty the priorities outlined in the strategic plan as who were thirsty for something like this. our guiding document.

The second is recognizing and rewarding When I was interviewing for the job at Roger excellence. Our great programs and initiatives deserve to be recognized and receive additional Williams, I discovered there were already three recent strategic plans that took countless support, because that is how we will make hours and hundreds of people to put together, Roger Williams University a distinctive institution. but they had been left sitting on the shelf. I decided that instead of creating yet another strategic plan, we should pull the best parts of these established plans, and bring in faculty, staff, the Board of Trustees and external partners, to review those goals and to build more of a strategic action plan.

WHY DID YOU MAKE STRATEGIC PLANNING A PRIORITY AT THE START OF YOUR PRESIDENCY?

Gregory W. Bowman: In prior organizations, I have seen strategic plans that feel like they take a sharp right turn in the direction of an institution. So, this approach of taking the best pieces from existing plans to provide continuity is really smart.

Miaoulis: Five months before I officially started at RWU, I held informal listening sessions to hear what people’s dreams and aspirations are and to identify areas of opportunity for the university. When we started the planning process, I brought back those ideas to working groups to make sure WHAT WERE THE DREAMS AND ASPIRATIONS I heard the right things. So, the ideas in the THAT YOU HEARD COMING FROM THE PEOPLE plan have come from multiple voices across INVOLVED IN THE WORK? the university – these are not just my priorities and thoughts on where RWU should be Miaoulis: Many were interested to see the headed. university’s recognition and reputation grow.

But I also heard from alums, faculty, staff Margaret Everett: This plan feels both bold and trustees a deep desire to gain a clearer and forward looking, but also authentic to understanding of who the university is. what Roger Williams is and what its current My hope is that the implementation of our strengths are. It doesn’t feel like a complete strategic plan will give us a much clearer vision change in direction. and direction for the university and what Roger Williams is all about.

My hope is that the implementation of our strategic plan will give us a much clearer vision and direction for the university and what Roger Williams is all about.

- Ioannis Miaoulis 2

“

This plan feels both bold and forward looking, but also authentic to what Roger Williams is and what its current strengths are.

- Margaret Everett Everett: A lot of dreams and aspirations I heard are around our teaching spaces and research spaces. Now we have a strategic plan that will inform the completion of the campus master plan, so that our spaces take shape in a way that supports who we are, our strengths and who we will be.

Bowman: I think there’s a great desire for closer connectedness and greater engagement across different parts of the university, and this will enable those connections and synergies to find each other and gain a foothold.

HOW DO THE FIVE PLANNING PRIORITIES (SEE PAGE 5) CAPTURE THE STRENGTHS OF ROGER WILLIAMS AND WHERE ITS FUTURE IS HEADED? Miaoulis: Academic excellence is a vital priority and our strategy was to build on our existing strengths to have a greater impact – such as the blue economy, real estate, and food studies (see story on page 6) – and to connect our students to real-world experiences that will set Roger Williams apart from other universities.

We are also leaning into our strengths of creating new knowledge and deeply engaging our students in research, collaborating with faculty on real issues, and working with community partners to solve problems that matter. One of the things that attracted me to RWU is the high level of student engagement with the community. We created and filled an associate provost position dedicated to community and global engagement, enhanced our engaged learning programming, brought in new partners to offer opportunities to our students, and we are currently building a comprehensive engaged-learning requirement for all undergraduates.

Stephanie Akunvabey: This plan also starts to weave together academic excellence and student success, and those two areas coming together allows equity to cut across student experience in the classroom. We are striving to become known as a great teaching institution defined by equitable classrooms and inclusive pedagogies, which greatly impact student success for different populations that we are looking to serve as an institution.

Miaoulis: We are already known as a university where students come and really find themselves academically. Maybe in their past schools some were not considered “great” students, but through the support, advising and counseling at Roger Williams, our students discover their academic passion, pursue it, and become distinguished in their careers.

By integrating career services with academic advising, students start seeing potential paths from their first year. We are also building stronger relationships with alumni and corporate partners with our career services in order to maximize opportunities for internships, mentoring and career pathways for our students.

Everett: As we developed our priority around a thriving employee community, we recognized that our faculty and staff are the drivers of the plan’s success. Supporting faculty and staff in their success and feeling connected to the mission of the institution will spell success for all of us.

Akunvabey: From an equity standpoint, I think about: what are the can’t-miss opportunities we build for our students?

And there’s no way you can create those for students unless you build can’t-miss opportunities for faculty and staff. They need the tools that are necessary to create a sense of belonging and inclusion, and to make those types of equity efforts sustainable.

“

We are striving to become known as a great teaching institution defined by equitable classrooms and inclusive pedagogies.

WHAT ARE THE STRENGTHS THAT THE LAW SCHOOL AND UC ARE BRINGING TO THE TABLE? Bowman: RWU has the only law school in the state. That allows us to build strong relationships with the state bar, the state and federal government, the federal courts and with community organizations that work within the legal realm. That provides tremendous opportunity to not only train our students in the doctrine of law, but also in its application through experiential learning in a wide range of clinics and externships.

There’s real strength in the outreach to the community that we do, and so much opportunity for the law school to collaborate with and support other efforts across the university.

There have been recent surveys that clearly show students today want to make the world a better place while they are in college and law school, not just afterward in their careers.

Both RWU and the law school give our students the opportunity to have an impact.

Greater collaboration across the university will allow us to fully tap into our potential to serve our students and the community.

Everett: University College helps us to reach a wider range of audiences and student populations, such as degree completers, veterans, students seeking professional development and workforce development, those seeking to change careers or retool. As we prepare for changing career pipelines and shifting demographics throughout the region, we already have a space that’s authentic and allows for us to imagine serving different students and developing new pathways, access points and modalities beyond the traditional degree, such as certificates and microcredentials, but ones that can also ladder up to a degree.

HOW WILL THE STRATEGIC ACTION PLAN IMPROVE OUR SERVICE TO OUR STUDENTS AND TO OUR COMMUNITY AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS? Miaoulis: Our whole purpose is to prepare our students not only for successful careers, but also a prosperous and happy life. Every component of the plan is designed so that our students will have the best experience and thrive while they are with us, and to instill a dedication to being active citizens and promoting sustainability in both their professional and personal lives.

Everett: Our new Real Estate program is an excellent example of responding to our industry partners’ needs for more employees with broad training and real-world experience, who come ready to begin their careers. We brought in expert external advisors in the field to help us shape the program, so we can best prepare our students for the kinds of careers that our industry partners will be providing in the future.

There are many ways Roger Williams is really connected with the needs of our community partners and the needs of our region: our strengths in architecture, historic preservation, urban planning, environmental science and environmental engineering, and the way that expertise can help support planning for the region around sea level rise and climate change. Our special education program is taking off because it’s meeting a critical need in the education sector and demand for teachers with that training.

“

Greater collaboration across the university will allow us to fully tap into our potential to serve our students and the community.

OUR STRATEGIC PRIORITIES

Our university core values weave throughout our five strategic priorities, creating the foundation and inspiration on which they were built.

Academic Excellence Now is our opportunity to unite our schools with new interdisciplinary opportunities, explore new research initiatives that make a difference in the world, while we also elevate our distinctive programs that will grow our national and international reputation.

Engaged Learning We will provide a transformative, experiential and engaged education that is centered around research experience, hands-on learning and community-engaged opportunities for our students.

Bowman: Many of our students come from communities around the region and they will go back to be the leaders in those communities. We already do many things well, but now we will use the strategic plan to act with more intentionality and more depth to our efforts – and that will exponentially leverage the impact of what we do. We are not starting from ground zero, but from a solid foundation of things we already do well, and with more collaboration we will be more impactful, and very quickly.

Akunvabey: Our identity seems to be that we are becoming the university the region needs now, and if we get that part right then we will have that clarity to grow into the university the world needs now.

Student Success We must turn our efforts toward becoming an institution that goes beyond student-focused to become a studentready institution. We will focus on proactive efforts to meet the needs of today’s students, viewing learning through the lens of inclusion, accountability and educational value.

A Thriving Community The Roger Williams community will be distinguished by a commitment to excellence, integrity, equity, collaboration, and belonging for our faculty and staff, fostering a deeper shared sense of mission and pride.

Sustainable Futures We strive to develop sustainable futures through the responsible stewardship of our people and resources, and in so doing, cultivate an enduring institution and sustainable legacy for Roger Williams University.

THE POWER OF

INTERDISCIPLINARY EDUCATION RWU creates interdisciplinary initiatives that span across schools, programs, faculty expertise and student opportunities to deliver a real-world, well-rounded education

6

Picture the archetypal heist film, “Ocean’s Eleven.” In order to pull off the most elaborate casino robbery in history, George Clooney’s character assembles a team of VARYING EXPERTISE. Each person brings a particular skillset – from the casino-insider to pickpocket, con artist, mechanic and acrobat – and their TALENTS COMBINE to form the ultimate criminal crew. As individuals they can accomplish small feats, but

TOGETHER THEY CAN ACHIEVE THE IMPOSSIBLE.

Now imagine if we applied that toward making positive change in the world.

Today’s most urgent problems are a confluence of social, economic and environmental issues. Take climate change, for example. Addressing this complex global challenge necessitates more than science alone. Problems of this scope require a range of knowledge and diversity of perspectives to design solutions.

RWU possesses a unique array of schools of study that bring together the liberal arts and professional programs, the state’s only law school, and innovative professional and workforce development initiatives in Providence. This wide range of expertise, research excellence and flagship academic programs is rare among universities of our size. Within our strategic action plan, we are identifying our areas of excellence and connecting across schools and programs to build interdisciplinary initiatives that will prepare our graduates for the interconnected world in which they will work and serve as leaders solving the problems facing our region and the world.

“We embrace the idea that the sum is greater than its parts,” says RWU Vice President and Senior Provost for Academic Affairs Margaret Everett. “Roger Williams University is uniquely positioned to channel the power of interdisciplinary education, because we have a breadth of schools and expertise to tap into, along with the benefits of being a smaller university that offers personal faculty attention and extensive opportunities for student research and engaged-learning experiences.”

By thinking ahead on how to tackle the wicked problems of the world, RWU is preparing our graduates for careers that do not yet exist across a variety of industries.

Our interdisciplinary programs will train our students to acquire a broad and sophisticated learning needed to unravel complex issues, how to apply critical thinking and creative problem-solving, and to work on teams that encompass a range of perspectives and skillsets, while also developing deep expertise in their specific subject matters.

For the past year, faculty and staff worked to identify the university’s greatest areas of excellence and consider how we can integrate them to address the needs of our region. As we strengthen and build new collaborations with our community and industry partners on these efforts, RWU is moving forward with the first of our interdisciplinary initiatives: Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Futures; Real Estate; Public Humanities & Arts Collaborative; STEM Education; Food Studies; and Innovation, Entrepreneurship and Leadership.

In these next pages, we will take a deeper dive into a few interdisciplinary initiatives – Sustainable Oceans and Coastal Futures; and Real Estate – that are already gaining significant momentum internally and externally to the university.

At the same time that RWU commits to deepening our work in the blue economy, the state of Rhode Island is also moving further in this direction. As part of its RI 2030 plan, the state proposes to advance K-12 ocean and climate literacy and create the Rhode Island Smart Bay, an initiative focused on Narragansett Bay that will harness technology and ocean organisms to monitor and promote a healthier bay. RWU leaders and faculty have been engaged in the development of the state’s vision plan, bringing our expertise in this area to the forefront of the future direction and investment in our region.

“RWU has already been making an enormous impact with our research and innovation in the blue economy, through our expertise in marine biology, aquaculture, and the law school’s Marine Affairs Institute, and our new partnership with the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program,” says RWU President Ioannis Miaoulis. “As we develop new ways to work together across our university community and to collaborate with our alumni and with experts, practitioners and community leaders, there is tremendous potential to strengthen our work within the Ocean State and the greater region, whose economies rely heavily on ocean and marinerelated industry and whose communities need pressing answers to sea level rise, climate change and other environmental issues.”

The real estate industry, Everett notes, is facing many challenges to its growth and sustainability, while an important economic driver for our region and one that involves many disciplines and professional opportunities. “Graduates seeking careers in real estate today must understand the work that is done beyond the boundaries of their undergraduate major. An architect must know how to create and review a pro forma and how to estimate project costs. And similarly, a finance person must understand the job of the architect, the engineer, the environmental surveyor, zoning requirements, and what risk management means on a complex real estate development.”

INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE COASTAL FUTURES

RWU CREATES WAVES ACROSS BLUE ECONOMY

Dive into the shallows off Jamestown’s Fort Wetherill and you might spot scup or tautog lurking near the rocks. But most will miss the small brown-pink-purple outcroppings of Astrangia poculata, or Northern Star Coral – a new emblem for research, conservation and education recognized this summer as the official state coral of Rhode Island.

The colonies of quarter-sized coral are much easier to spy growing in the long plexiglass tubs in the center of RWU’s marine research and aquaculture hub, the Wet Lab. There, hundreds of the animal are part of various student research experiments, many focusing on the coral’s mystifying ability to not just survive but thrive in New England waters, which may hold the answer to how and why climate change is devastating tropical corals around the globe.

“Corals have native microbiomes, much like the human gut microbiome, on their surfaces, and these are a coral’s first line of defense against pathogens,” says RWU Professor of Marine Biology Koty Sharp, who has been leading research into the Northern Star Coral for over a decade. “The response and resilience of the Astrangia microbiome to the incredible temperature swings of New England weather – especially its ability to rebuild each year following a state of complete dormancy during winter – may provide clues to what is needed for coral microbiome recovery from the bleaching and disease that is causing massive die-offs in tropical corals.”

The Northern Star Coral makes such a great scientific model for understanding its tropical cousins because its different symbiotic states can be studied without the coral dying, explains Alicia Schickle ’18, of North

Attleboro, Mass. “Diseased tropical corals die quickly because they kick out their symbiont,” a microbial alga which acts as its primary mechanism for feeding. “But Astrangia doesn’t die when it releases its symbiont, so we can separate the microbe from the coral’s other reactions and determine what is and isn’t influenced by its symbiont.”

Getting the opportunity to conduct cutting-edge research into the inimitable Rhode Island species helped Schickle discover a passion for microbiology, and she is considering pursuing a graduate degree in microbial paleontology while working as a research technician in Sharp’s lab. Schickle also mentors undergraduate students in the next phases of coral research.

While the Northern Star Coral inhabits coastlines from the Gulf of Mexico to Buzzard’s Bay, as Sharp notes, the science of this coral is deeply rooted in Rhode Island.

The first known description was recorded by naturalist Louis Aggasiz at Castle Hill, Newport, in the mid-1800s. For the past decade, Roger Williams and University of Rhode Island scientists have collaborated on pioneering research into the coral and founded a national research collaborative who share their findings at an annual symposium held at RWU, a group that has collectively published more than 70 articles on the species.

With the hub of research taking place in Rhode Island, it only seemed fitting that the coral receive an elevated status similar to that of calamari and coffee milk. Over the last year, Sharp worked with state legislators, bolstered

by advocacy from President Ioannis Miaoulis, to name the Northern Star Coral as the official state coral of Rhode Island. In June, the Ocean State became the first state to designate a state coral.

“This state coral designation is an opportunity for Rhode Island to put our own distinct ‘stamp’ on this rapidly growing area of research, which is being led at Roger Williams University by Professor Sharp,” Miaoulis says.

“As a state emblem, the Northern Star Coral will inspire additional scientific collaborations, aid in the development of new K-12 curricula in climate literacy and STEM and engage students across our state with their local ecosystems.”

Through its newest state symbol, Rhode Island and RWU are charting new waters into important research and innovation.

Meriel McGovern ’22 (at top) prepares a coral sample for DNA sequencing, while Alicia Schickle ’18 (at right, bottom, and at microscope) and Professor Koty Sharp examine progress in coral experiments.

Meriel McGovern, a junior marine biology major and honors student from Long Valley, N.J., is part of the next generation of student researchers exploring this coral. This spring, she began collaborating with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute scientists to examine its unique ability to survive harsh winters and fully recover its microbiome each year.

“Even though it looks like a diseased tropical coral in its dormant state, it restructures as temperatures warm again to resemble the healthy microbiome of tropical coral,” says McGovern, who works on each part of the project, from experiment design and build to DNA extraction and data analysis. “This may help us identify which key microbes are involved in the recovery and better understand how corals can adapt to environmental disturbance, and then apply that to other kinds of environmental disturbances like climate change, ocean warming and acidification.”

From Rhode Island to Maine, the Law is preparing students for the myriad 10

careers in marine and maritime law and in industries impacted by marine and coastal issues through additional experiential learning opportunities and externship experiences focused on environmental and land use issues and corporate council practice.

Due to our reputation in marine affairs, RWU Law also recently acquired the Journal of Maritime Law and Commerce, a national scholarly publication that serves as a leading voice in the maritime world. While kept as a professionally published journal, law students also serve as student editors assisting the RWU Law faculty editorial board.

“Our students work on real problems within the community and marine-related industries. It gives them a chance to gain experience on issues they’ll be working on in practice before they graduate,” Wyman says.

SAILING INTO DISTINCTION RWU is also making waves in the world of sailing.

Where else can students choose both an engineering degree and a world-class sailing program? RWU Sailing is currently the number-two team nationally, capturing second place at the 2021 College Sailing Team Race Nationals.

Since Amanda Callahan took the reins as head coach, RWU Sailing has qualified for national championships in 12 out of her 14 years. And they have their sights set on becoming the national champs this year.

“A lot of folks from all over the country choose to come to Roger Williams to compete at the highest level in college sailing. Sailing

is a signature sport of Roger Williams because our campus is right on the water, and Bristol has such a rich tradition of sailing in the marine industry,” Callahan says.

Sport and recreational sailing are a major economic driver and vital to the state’s blue economy. According to a 2018 study by the Coastal Resources Center and Rhode Island Sea Grant at URI, Rhode Island’s marine sector (including marine construction, ship and boat building, marine services and supply firms) “contributed $4.6 billion and nearly 27,000 jobs to the state economy in 2016.”

In addition to our sailing program, RWU is a hub for national and international sailing.

We are home to the U.S. Sailing headquarters, hosting regattas on our waterfront throughout the year. Also this summer, a group of Olympic sailing coaches and contenders lived on campus and trained off our dock, racing up and down Mount Hope Bay as they prepared for the Olympic class 49er in 2024.

NEW PARTNERSHIP AIMS TO DEVELOP HEALTHY WATERWAYS As RWU takes on greater leadership in coastal resiliency and the blue economy, the university also became the new home of the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program (NBEP), one of 28 programs in the country that are part of the Environmental Protection Agency’s National Estuaries Program and dedicated to the protection and improvement of the region’s waterways and watersheds.

Working with our new NBEP and EPA partners, RWU will be able to leverage the expertise of faculty and students, in collaboration with estuary program scientists, to develop solutions for complex problems facing the people and coastal ecosystems of our region. Along with creating internships, project-based courses, and real-world research and policy experiences, this partnership holds the potential for developing interdisciplinary courses, majors, certificate programs and microcredentials that uniquely position RWU’s graduates for work in the blue economy and in environmental research, policy work and advocacy.

“With our shared values in social and environmental justice, this will be a truly synergistic relationship that will enable greater collaboration on research and advocacy that align with both of our institutions’ missions and will provide

additional opportunities for real-world learning experiences for our undergraduate, graduate and law students through research projects, legal policy analysis, and communityengaged scholarship,” says President Ioannis Miaoulis.

INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE REAL ESTATE

A SHARED VISION:

CREATING THE REAL ESTATE INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVE Over a century after Andrew Carnegie said wise wage earners invest in real estate, the adage still holds true today and Roger Williams University is investing in a new interdisciplinary program to prepare graduates for successful real estate careers and to be leaders in this complex industry.

To build it, RWU is crossing academic boundaries. The deans of four schools are working together on a curriculum that draws on our existing program strengths in the built environment – architecture, historic preservation, construction management, business, and law – and identifies opportunities to collaborate on equity and policy-related housing issues with our partners at HousingWorks RI and faculty in other programs.

“We’re looking at a very big picture of what real estate includes,” says Stephen White, dean of the School of Architecture, Art and Historic Preservation (SAAHP).

RWU is uniquely positioned and configured to leave a mark in real estate 12

professions. There are just 14 higher education institutions in the country that have the portfolio of majors and schools that RWU possesses, with a law school and degree programs in architecture, business and construction management. And we are the only one in New England.

White is collaborating with his counterparts from the Gabelli School of Business (GSB), School of Engineering, Computing and Construction Management (SECCM) and the School of Law. Plans call for a new five-course graduate certificate expected to launch in Fall 2022. A Master of Science and undergraduate program are under development, with future plans for an undergraduate minor.

Along with a lead gift to launch the initiative by Trustee Todd Rechler, a champion of the effort, President Ioannis Miaoulis created a study team that held listening sessions in 2020 with real estate industry leaders from Boston to New York.

“We’ve got real estate developers, people who deal with land use, preservationists, lawyers who deal with zoning issues” advising the program development, says GSB Dean Susan McTiernan. “It’s a really big board and a complex field.”

A research firm commissioned to look at student demand and the outlook for real estate careers found graduates of advanced degree programs in real estate development typically have starting wages between $76,000 and over $100,000 a year. Such programs prepare graduates for a variety of positions such as acquisitions/financial analysts, asset managers, project managers, and development managers.

In recent years, SAAHP has offered coursework on preservation and planning focused on financial incentives for redevelopment of historic properties, White says. The school’s faculty and students have also led research on preservation and building issues for historic properties facing sea level rise and coastal storm flooding.

“Real estate is a very connective, integrated activity,” White says. “There’s a great potential here at Roger Williams and now a focus on bringing it all together. The more we collaborate together, the more we have a shared vision, which is good for everybody.”

GSB courses span data analytics, finance, economics, management and leadership, all relevant to real estate. The real estate program could strengthen GSB’s undergraduate risk management certificate program, in which students learn how to assess, plan for and mitigate risk through insurance.

“I think we do bring a lot to the table in terms of basic skills and advanced skills” to an interdisciplinary real estate program, McTiernan adds. “I actually can’t think of anything more critical than risk management.”

The School of Law is naturally situated at the center of a real estate program.

“If you think about real estate, the basis of it is law,” Dean Gregory Bowman says.

“It is about ownership of real property and the rights and obligations for use of that property. So when you talk about real estate development, real estate management, land use, coastal resiliency, public obligations, all of those things pertain to the law.”

SECCM Dean Robert J. Griffin, who took over July 1, 2021, was not involved in the initial planning process for the real estate program. But it was one of the factors that helped him decide to leave his post as interim dean of the engineering school at Rice University in Texas to come to RWU. “It was part of what drew me here because I’m very interested in building bridges between SECCM and other schools at Roger Williams,” says Griffin, who has led strategic brainstorming with SECCM faculty to design new courses for the graduate certificate program.

“I see it as an opportunity to increase the visibility and excellence of our construction management program even further than it already is,” Griffin adds. “It’s already fantastic.

If we can use the energy and the initiative of real estate to catapult it even further, of course I want to be on board with that for our faculty and for our students.”

The deans are committed to a practicebased curriculum that will include best-inclass internship opportunities, corporate partner programs, and collaborative international programs. The support of successful alumni, trustees and advisors working in real estate will help the program stay competitive, White notes.

An interdisciplinary approach to real estate education – being designed by the unique combination of faculty expertise – makes sense considering what these four deans have learned about what awaits graduates.

“People that practice real estate are from a variety of backgrounds working on a common project with complementary expertise,” White says. “It is a truly collaborative process.”

REAL ESTATE MOGUL GIVES BACK TO RWU Miaoulis, his team and the board, straight on down through the deans to the faculty and even to some of the students that we’ve talked to on campus. We’ll be leaders into this direction, not followers.”

Rechler’s enthusiasm for giving back to RWU took root while wearing a hard hat during construction of the Law School in 1993, the year he graduated. As a student representative on the Law School’s project team, Rechler gained real-world experience to complement his classroom learning as a double major in business and construction If he’s not in his 14th floor corner office management. in Midtown Manhattan, Todd Rechler ’93 “That was a big step for me,” Rechler might be one floor down talking to his recalls. “If I had questions, I was able to grab construction services team.

By transforming spaces, stimulating the local economy, and mitigating environmental impacts, Rechler believes the role of the real estate industry is “to make it a much stronger place when we’re finished than when we got there.”

Not so different from the role of higher education. Rechler’s vision will better prepare students for life after graduation. That may mean helping students develop a greater understanding of the financial side of things to enable future architects and general contractors and others to speak the same language as an owner-developer, he says.

“They’re coming out with gaps in their knowledge, and we need to fill those gaps,” Rechler says.

ADDITIONAL INTERDISCIPLINARY INITIATIVES While Coastal Futures and Real Estate take off to connect RWU with the region and industry in new ways, the collaborative spirit of dreaming and planning across schools and programs is permeating across four additional new academic initiatives as well. These programs will not be built in silos and have great opportunities for collaboration and alignment with each other; while each area has its own distinct focus and leverages faculty expertise, these initiatives will be made stronger and have more impact on society and our student learning when they connect with the other interdisciplinary efforts.

PUBLIC HUMANITIES & ARTS COLLABORATIVE (CO-LAB) The Co-Lab at RWU reimagines public stories, histories, and storytelling for historically marginalized or erased populations and will strive to define new narratives and representations for the New England region.

The Co-Lab will allow students and scholars to learn from our community partners about their histories, heritage, and cultures that allow our graduates to enter the world equipped with cultural competencies and the capacity to engage equitably and justly with others. The Co-Lab will undertake publicly engaged scholarship across the humanities to transform society and lived realities by contributing and engaging in contemporary debates, amplifying community voices and histories, supporting communities that must navigate difficult experiences and preserve culture and justice in times of crisis and change. In its work, The Co-Lab at RWU especially will foreground the exploration of race and race relations as they structure our world and seeks to build community-centered pathways toward reconciliation, equity, and justice.

and certificate programs in future years.

Connecting and enhancing our strengths and offerings in STEM will help us better recruit and retain students in STEM majors, particularly underrepresented minorities and women, as well as build a more diverse faculty teaching pipeline for the region and the country. To prepare our students as teachers for success in STEM fields, we will reach out and cultivate new external partnerships that will both provide our students with realworld learning opportunities and deepen the impact of our service within our communities.

Opportunities to expand RWU’s role in STEM education in non-classroom settings include, for example, the gaming (AR/VR) industry, cultural tourism, industry-aligned data literacy (such as insurance, finance and healthcare industries), broadening our engagement with K-12 students and teachers, and establishing summer camps or after school programming for local youth.

FOOD STUDIES

As an emerging field grounded in our vital connection to food, Food Studies examines the historical, cultural, behavioral, biological, and socioeconomic dynamics of food while focusing specific attention as well to the environmental consequences of STEM EDUCATION food production. Because food sits at the RWU possesses distinctive excellence in center of all life, it is a vital instrument for STEM programs and teaching, with a creating environmental and social change diversity of curricular and extracurricular work and addressing long-standing equity issues currently underway in the areas of STEM in our communities related to economic education, including outreach activities, new and health disparities. Built on our campus course offerings, research activity, and faculty commitment to sustainability, social justice, workshops. Through a renewed commitment and ethical community engagement, our food to K-12 education, the STEM Education studies initiatives will support and contribute interdisciplinary initiative will bring together to current food movements and food culture efforts from disparate spaces and programs in the Northeast. From agriculture to across our campuses and achieve enhanced aquaculture, our coastal and urban locations collaboration and coordination across allow RWU to understand and contribute disciplinary lines. We will aim to create new across fields that support industries as diverse pathways through interdisciplinary course as hydroponics, sustainable fisheries, and offerings and degrees and encourage students much more. Students, faculty, and staff will to develop customized education programs collaborate with community stakeholders to through unique combinations of double develop solutions to problems associated with majors and majors and minors across STEM, locally and regionally based food production, liberal arts and professional programs, with distribution, and consumption grounded in a the opportunity to expand into further focus on sustainability and social justice. graduate programs and teaching credentials

INNOVATION, ENTREPRENEURSHIP AND LEADERSHIP We believe that entrepreneurship is a mindset, a way of thinking, solving problems, and identifying opportunities that can apply to nearly any professional pathway that our students may follow. A recent Wall Street Journal survey of young adults reported that 50 percent seek to work in small, fastmoving, customer-driven organizations where they make a direct contribution to the organization’s impact on consumers and society. Entrepreneurial thinking provides the opportunity to creatively solve significant organizational challenges and advance both personal goals and those of an organization.

Long-term successful institutions solve market problems with innovative thinking quickly, effectively, and efficiently. RWU has a unique opportunity to prepare young graduates for the demands and opportunities of the workplace. By modeling an innovative and agile institution and by exposing our students to entrepreneurial thinking and practice, we will give our graduates a competitive edge in successfully navigating the evolving needs of modern organizations. RWU will create the next generation of leaders and problem solvers that can positively contribute to the changes our world needs now. RWU is ideally suited to merge innovation, leadership and entrepreneurship with critical thinking fields in the social, technological, and professional fields across all our schools of study.

INAUGURAL DAVIS FELLOWS FACULTY PROGRAM EXPANDS ENGAGED LEARNING SCHOLARSHIP

E

ach week this fall semester, eight RWU students gather in a classroom for a deep lesson in racial justice mentorship and inclusive leadership. Then they apply their new skills as mentors and role models, helping underserved Providence high school students to see themselves as future college students, leaders, and achievers.

This approach to engaged learning has always been at the heart of a Roger Williams education. Now, as one of our strategic priorities, the university is strengthening and expanding community-engaged learning opportunities to undergraduate students earlier in their studies, while also making a semester-long engaged-learning experience part of the graduation requirement for students, beginning with the Fall 2021 entering class.

Racial Justice in the Classroom: Anti-Racist Mentoring of Underserved High School Students was developed by

Associate Professor of Communication and Media Studies Kamille Gentles-Peart and Associate Professor of Cultural Studies Laura D’Amore as part of their new course-based partnership with Breakthrough Providence – College Bound Program at RWU. It is just one example of many new community-engaged courses open to any major that has emerged out of the RWU’s Davis Fellowship faculty program.

“Participating in equity-centered engaged learning allows students to confront, challenge and unlearn ideologies about people and communities that are different from them. This model of engaged learning, which centers BIPOC and first-generation students as the main participants, disrupts colonial and white supremacist ideas about who can be mentors that pervade academia and many engaged learning practices,” says Gentles-Peart.

Davis Fellows Kamille Gentles-Peart (foreground) and Laura D’Amore designed a new course this year focused on engaged-mentorship experiences for RWU students.

Gentles-Peart and D’Amore are teaching the year-long, six-credit course for juniors and seniors who are interested in understanding racial equity and anti-racism theory and its practice in real-world applications. In addition to mentoring, the RWU cohort, made up of predominantly first-generation students and students of color, helps their College Bound mentees learn how to navigate systemic barriers to access and achievement in education and society.

Thanks to support from a Davis Educational Foundation grant, 13 Davis Faculty Fellows are working together as the inaugural faculty cohort to develop courses centered on engaged learning. Allen Hance, Associate Provost for Global and Community Engagement, and Jason Jacobs, Associate Dean of General Education, are leading these faculty fellows in best practices for designing community-engaged courses. The faculty fellows began their work in the winter of 2021 and participated in a Summer Faculty Institute, collaborating on how to redesign their courses based on guidance from their peers, expert leadership, and their own research.

The diverse group of faculty fellows represents a wide range of fields of study from six of RWU’s schools and colleges.

“Engaged scholarship and service learning are vital components for undergraduate and graduate students in the field of education.

Since I teach at University College (UC), I know that remote students can still actively participate in service learning and engaged community activities,” says Professor of Education Kelly Donnell.

Donnell is designing a UC course that partners with the Comprehensive Community Action Program (CCAP), a nonprofit based in Cranston, R.I., to teach students introductory research skills through case studies exploring cultural competency and issues of bias and stereotyping.

The Davis Fellows met in small groups and as a whole cohort to enhance their pedagogy of community-engaged teaching.

They have learned from one another as they discuss issues, including cultivating and sustaining community partnerships and assessing student performance in experiential contexts, and share their findings with colleagues beyond the group, expanding the campus-wide community of practice around engaged teaching and learning.

“Creating specific opportunities for faculty to collaborate with one another that aren’t ad hoc but are structured to provide support from offices across campus is a key component to a successful university. I am really pleased. The university is doing this right,” says Donnell.

The

EQUITY IMPERATIVE

T

o do equity, inclusion and diversity work well requires us to remain open-minded, question our assumptions, and commit to learning about and understanding the experiences of others. What drew me to join Roger Williams University this year, as Vice President of Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer, is this calling toward an equity imperative: the idea that creating more equity, inclusion and diversity is not just the right thing to do, but an integral part of who we want to become as an institution and a community.

I consider myself fortunate to have joined a university that has already begun the challenging work of unpacking racism, privilege, and various kinds of bias. Launched in 2020, the Equity Action Plan serves as a potent catalyst and blueprint for institutional change. Each focus area outlines goals and opportunities to make RWU a better place.

Since I started this August, I’ve met with the members of the working groups who served as authors for each section of the Equity Action Plan. We discussed areas of progress, identified places where our efforts have stalled, and began to imagine how the next steps of our work would align with the institution’s Strategic Action Plan.

20

I was delighted to learn of an incredible number of individual efforts, new DEI committees, and long-standing programs that seek to address inequities in educational access and attainment, in our academic programming and teaching pedagogies, in how we prepare our graduates to thrive in their careers, and in how we share our knowledge and research to make a difference in the communities we serve. However, the time has come for us to truly make equity the foundation of what we do and how we do things as an institution, and to embed equity across our priorities, policies, programs, and services. We must take what has been built and then unify, sustain, and expand those efforts.

The Equity Action Plan stated that “we would deepen the university’s advancement of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts by implementing changes in its culture, leadership practices, and leadership composition.” In this regard, every employee – from senior leadership and faculty to student support staff, public safety officers and facilities crew – must embody the idea of “leading from where you are.” Roles and titles aside, our shift to embedded equity requires that we all champion DEI efforts.

Today, we uphold that equity is not optional. Equity was once the moral obligation of a few, but it has now blossomed into an institutional tenet. This progression toward collective action acknowledges that past attempts to address bias, discrimination, and inequity were often built and supported by a small coalition of the willing, which cannot lead to institutional changes that last. Equity has a place in every classroom, co-curricular space, student support area, and governing structure. All members of the RWU community must be active contributors to the creation of safe spaces, improved policies, and procedures that have a quantifiable impact on our effort to become a model for inclusive excellence.

Our new strategic plan consists of five priorities: Academic Excellence, Engaged Learning, Student Success, A Thriving Community, and Sustainable Futures.

Equity is the through line that challenges us to examine our individual behaviors and recognize the power in our collective institutional impact. With equity set as a strategic priority, consistent and multifaceted approaches can be deployed at every organizational level.

So, I ask this of members of the RWU community: how will we keep an open mind, question our assumptions, and commit to an intellectual curiosity that calls us to design inclusive strategies and practices that lead toward improved educational outcomes for our students, and a better workplace climate for ourselves and our colleagues? It will not be easy. But it is possible if we all do our part.

Stephanie Akunvabey joined RWU in August 2021 as Vice President for Equity and Inclusion and Chief Diversity Officer.

COURSE SPOTLIGHT

RWU Law’s Race and the Foundations of American Law course provides an overview of how race has played a role in American law, while developing critical analytic tools students can bring to all aspects of their legal education and future practice. It examines how racial hierarchy has influenced the development of American law, and the roles white supremacy and racial hierarchy play in current systems, including legal education and the legal profession, the criminal justice system, immigration, housing market, and public education. Students examine current anti-racist approaches and tactics and explore ways in which discriminatory systems can be dismantled.

MEETING THE DEMAND FOR SKILLED TRADES

W

hile many industries have cut back on hiring during Covid-19, there has been a vast increase in the demand for skilled trade jobs. According to PeopleReady Skilled Trades, job growth for electricians, plumbers and carpenters has soared more than 100 percent since before the pandemic – and postings for these jobs are often filled within 24 hours. With many baby boomers – who make up a significant percentage of the skilled trade workforce – nearing retirement age, these industries are facing a significant gap in employees with the skills to do this important work. RWU’s University College (UC) recognized the need for additional training of skilled tradespeople and launched an Electrical Apprenticeship Program in Fall 2019, with 65 students now enrolled in its third year of programming. A carpentry apprenticeship program launches in 2022 and additional apprenticeship programs are under development and will be launched soon.

This is the critical work of University College and how we develop industry-aligned credentials, training and opportunities for learners at any stage or age. With experiential learning woven into the DNA of University College, the apprenticeship programs offer hands-on learning and a required field practicum to prepare students with the skills and certification they need to be job-ready on the first day. The apprenticeship programs have been approved by the state of Rhode Island and meet rigorous standards for

apprenticeship and license requirements to receive accreditation by the National Center for Construction Education and Research (NCCER).

“The trades by their very nature are designed as hands-on experiential learning at its finest,” says Gena Bianco, Dean of RWU’s University College. “Regardless of the specialty, there is a culture of institutional knowledge handed down related to the art and craft of specific skills. Traditionally throughout history, guilds had filled the need for such a transfer of knowledge and experience from one generation to another, but societal needs and demands outpaced these capabilities. As a facilitator of knowledge-sharing and skillbuilding, institutions of higher education like RWU are a logical choice to which we can pass the baton.”

Many workers are seeking a career change during what is being called the Great Resignation, the recent trend where employees are leaving unsatisfactory jobs to look for meaningful work, while those with jobs in the skilled trades report high levels of satisfaction and value in their work, according to the 2021 Skilled Trades Report by Angi.

“It’s time to recognize that the skilled trades offer the opportunity for people to find engaging and high-paying careers. Everywhere there is a home, there is a network of small businesses that support that home and homeowner, and these are extremely needed and valued careers,” Oisin Hanrahan, CEO at Angi, said in the report.

What Makes UC Apprenticeship Programs Distinctive •E mployer-driven model, combining classroom instruction and required field practicum.

• Ongoing testing throughout the program to best prepare students for the state licensure exam.

• Only post-secondary program with NCCER accreditation.

• Earn a paycheck while training for career change or career advancement – programs are delivered in the evening so students can maintain work in a full-time day job.

• Our certificate is more affordable than traditional skilled trade degree programs elsewhere, and with UC’s robust prior learning process, the certificate can ladder up as credit toward a degree.

HISTORY UNCOVERED:

THE STORIES OF RHODE ISLAND’S SLAVE-TRADING LEGACY

Historians help us understand what has shaped our past and how we can use those lessons to become a better society. Their vital work allows us to remember those who came before us and reflect on who we are today. In collaboration with the Rhode Island Slave History Medallions initiative, students in a History Methods and Historiography course are bringing the untold stories of Rhode Island’s enslaved Black community and a fuller accounting of the state’s slave-trading legacy out of the shadows and into the forefront of local history.

30

At the same time as our nation’s first national Juneteenth celebration, the original research of RWU students was presented at an unveiling of the Linden Place Slave Medallion, one of two Slave History Medallions placed in the town of Bristol this past summer.

The medallions are now installed at the 18th-century Linden Place Museum and at DeWolf Tavern, both sites once owned by the DeWolf family, who operated the largest slave-trading business in America during the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Around 60 percent of all slave-trading voyages launched from North America came from Rhode Island, according to a Brown University report issued in 2006, with much of the colony and later state’s economy built on the trade, including shipbuilding and rum distilleries.

Combing through primary sources in town and state archives, RWU students pieced together history using census data, letters, account books, estate inventories, wills, muster rolls, marriage, birth, and death certificates. Some spent one or two semesters working on the Bristol project, and others are continuing research this year to discover even more of Bristol’s history, while others are now working with the town of Barrington toward its own Slave History Medallion and educational awareness initiative.

“I have learned there is always more to the story. There weren’t a lot of records kept for the Black community, and those that were kept were incomplete,” says Courtney Garrity, a senior history major who is a Bristolian herself. “I find the documents I need when I least expect to, and I’m still finding material that fills in gaps that I either hadn’t expected or that completely negate what historians thought before.”

Each medallion contains a QR code linked to the Rhode Island Slave History website, where the students’ research provides a deeper understanding of the state’s history

and that of its enslaved communities.

Additionally, “Linden Place developed a new audio tour that brings the voices of the enslaved people front and center. I am delighted that the museum went beyond simply installing the medallions and have integrated Black voices into their narrative,” says Charlotte Carrington-Farmer, the associate professor of history leading the engaged-learning project through RWU’s Community Partnerships Center.

Students told the stories of Scipio Burke, the unofficial mayor of Bristol’s African community that existed on Wood Street and servant to a local reverend. They provided accounts of the Black and Indigenous members of the First Rhode Island Regiment and of Bristol Finney, the 19-year-old enslaved African who ran away from his owners in Bristol. They shared the histories of Bristol’s Howland and Burt families, who also traded in enslaved peoples but have been less discussed compared to the DeWolf family.

For Kristen Black, a junior history and preservation studies double major from Bristol, her experience revealing her hometown’s history was so rewarding that she opted to take an independent course this fall to conduct research for the Barrington Slave History Medallion project.

“Roger Williams is doing an excellent job giving me opportunities to uncover this part of history. It is eye-opening to reveal narratives that were never talked about,” says Black.

Garrity was offered a paid internship with the Bristol Historical and Preservation Society to continue her research. She is compiling genealogies of Black families in Bristol to help their descendants discover their family history.

“There is a quote that says you die twice: the first time, when you take your final breath, and the second time when people stop speaking your name,” says Garrity. “Telling these stories and speaking names back into existence is incredibly rewarding.”

The Ultimate Roger Experience: Diana Perez ’18, L’22 A big step toward building community among the university and law school might be as simple as sharing a beloved nickname: Roger. During her seven years attending RWU as an undergrad and now third-year law student, Diana Perez ’18, L’22 has acted as a bridge builder to make a more inclusive institution and help the law school feel more connected to the wider university.

Case in point: she actively encouraged incoming law students to use “Roger” (a common undergraduate moniker for the university) and to think of themselves as Hawks (our mascot) during her remarks at this year’s law school orientation. Perez recognizes that law students would benefit from being part of the whole university community and the positive effect a stronger kinship would have throughout the RWU community.

“Since they both have a main goal in mind, I think we can only grow stronger and be more united in reaching our goals when we bring those two communities together,” says Perez, who earned her bachelor’s in criminal justice with a concentration in psychology.

Heeding her own words of wisdom, Perez has taken on many leadership roles on campus. As an undergraduate, she worked all four years as a HAWE (Health and Wellness Educator), promoting physical and mental health among her peers, and was an orientation leader, admissions tour

guide, president of the Psychology Club, and member of the Student Disciplinary Committee. Her standout efforts earned her a student leadership award and outstanding peer educator award.

While she loved serving the student community, she had known she wanted to be a lawyer since eighth grade. A juvenile justice course and legal advocacy clinic experience, where she shadowed domestic violence advocates working in courthouses across R.I., through her criminal justice program, as well as participating in Mock Trial Club, helped cement her pathway to RWU Law. Now she’s in her final year and working in the law school’s Criminal Defense Clinic, helping underserved individuals facing misdemeanor charges. Her experience is hands-on, from conducting interviews and research to finding witnesses and working with police departments during the discovery process. As Perez notes, the clinical practice has made a tremendous impact on her development as a future attorney.

“I am learning how to manage and organize actual case files and all the skills that come with being an attorney, such as how to take my notes in an interview, how to organize and give initial client interviews and counseling sessions,” she says. “I am also learning how to pause, listen, and when to ask all the right questions.”

Yet, she still makes time to give back to the law student community and contribute to equity work in the university, serving as Student Bar Association President, on the law school’s Diversity and Inclusion Steering Committee, and as student representative on a planning committee focused on the future of the law school library.

With graduation on the horizon, Perez knows that she wants to keep making a difference and is considering a career in juvenile law, educational law, domestic violence or family law.

“These experiences in college help guide me to what I am passionate about in law and what I would like to do when I practice,” says Perez, a resident of North Providence, R.I. “I want to give children the best resources to guide them to make good life decisions.

Although many people tell me all the time that working with kids, especially in the legal world, can be very sad and heartbreaking, I know someone needs to do the work and have the best intentions for juveniles.”

Nearly one out of every five students enter Roger Williams as undeclared majors to explore what program feels right for them, others add double majors or minors, or choose a different major as they discover at RWU where their passions lie. It’s an individual journey that every student makes through RWU, and a core reason why we offer one-on-one advising, allowing students to explore with guiding support from dedicated academic advisors in the Advising & Peer Mentorship Office, coupled with faculty advisors within every program of study.

“RWU’s Center for Career and Professional Development has been redesigned to position career preparedness and planning at the center of every student’s four-year co-curricular journey. This is a critical next step in enhancing student success, helping our students to discover who they are as an individual and enabling them to excel in whichever professional paths they have chosen to pursue.

That is why so many of our graduates are as successful as they are.”

OUR NEW MAJOR AMBASSADORS PROGRAM

Launched in September 2021, the Major Ambassadors Program helps undeclared and exploratory students discover which major is right for them. Students serving as Major Ambassadors gain leadership skills that enhance their own learning while helping guide other students on their pathway to success. Part of a collaborative initiative between CSAS and CCPD, the new program is one of the first efforts to arise from RWU’s priority of enhancing student success through holistic support in every year of their university experience.

Major Ambassadors share their personal academic journeys and advice with other students while professional staff provide a further layer of support to answer questions about academic requirements, internship and externship opportunities, and the university’s process for declaring a major. The first event opened to a packed house of students eager to learn from their fellow student leaders, who answered questions about majors and offered personal tips and goals, while sharing how they are preparing for their future beyond Roger Williams.

SEEDING RESEARCH OPPORTUNITIES: FULBRIGHT SCHOLAR SKYLAR BAYER You may have enjoyed scallops for dinner, but have you ever thought they were cute and charismatic? According to Assistant Professor of Biology Skylar Bayer, who researches the little mollusk, they are that and so much more.

This summer, Bayer brought her passion for scallops to Iceland as a Fulbright-National Science Foundation Arctic Research Scholar. She researched the Iceland scallop fishery and the life history of the Iceland scallop at the Marine and Freshwater Research Institute (MFRI) in Hafnarfjörður, Iceland. Enriched by her Fulbright experience, Bayer plans to integrate her time in Iceland with her work at RWU.

WHAT RESEARCH WERE YOU DOING FOR YOUR FULBRIGHT? Iceland is great at keeping records. Whether they have the time and people to analyze the data is different. The Fulbright program allowed an Icelandic scallop researcher, Jónas Pall Jónasson, and I to work together to analyze data at Iceland’s MFRI, which has 15- to 20-year-long datasets on scallop populations from a local fishery. Long-term datasets are uncommon in biology and important for analyzing patterns over time.

My friend Angel Ruiz-Angulo is a physical oceanographer at the University of Iceland.

We are talking about building a model for scallop larval dispersal in the bay based on his measurements and the data from these longterm datasets.

36

HOW DOES YOUR RESEARCH CONNECT TO YOUR WORK AT RWU? My perspective, as someone that oversees the aquaculture program at Roger Williams, is that we can learn from the wild population.

Do they need a certain kind of habitat?

Are predators eating them? Maybe if we grew them in nets at a certain stage of their development and then released them, we would see populations increase. Those issues and questions overlap with the species we have here, too.

HOW DID YOU BRING YOUR FOCUS ON SCIENCE COMMUNICATION TO YOUR FULBRIGHT EXPERIENCE? I posted pictures and stories from my trip on Instagram (@RWU_Shellfish_Program), Twitter (@drsrbayer), and my website. My students and colleagues enjoyed following along with my posts. The power of narrative in science communication is that it makes people feel like a part of the science community while spreading ideas and information.

HOW WILL YOU INVOLVE YOUR STUDENTS WITH YOUR RESEARCH IN ICELAND? The goal of the Fulbright Fellowship is to engage with the country and plant the seeds for long-term collaborations. This Fulbright Fellowship allowed me to develop the contacts I need to plan a course to take students abroad. I have been approved this coming March, Covid-permitting, to go to Iceland for a week-long, one-credit course for spring break. We could expand that to a winter course where students would learn about Icelandic biology.

The students will gain hands-on experience collecting their own data in a sub-Arctic climate. They will meet my contacts and expand their network internationally. There are a lot of graduate student opportunities at University of Iceland, and it will give students an idea of the research world beyond New England.

Also, we might get to see the aurora borealis.

CALLED TO ACTION: Renewing Our Commitment to Afghan Girls’ Education

Last year, a 10-year-old girl went on a hunger strike to convince her father to allow her to enroll at the School of Leadership, Afghanistan (SOLA), Afghanistan’s first and only boarding school for girls. She knew the value of an education and was willing to fight against the many barriers that stood in her way. Shabana Basij-Rasikh, SOLA president and co-founder, shared this student’s story, and many more, as part of her visit to RWU this fall.

Basij-Rasikh grew up under Taliban rule in Kabul, Afghanistan, risking her life to attend school in secret until the Taliban fell in 2001. In 2009, at the age of 19, she cofounded SOLA to improve the lives of Afghan girls through education, and by educating a significant portion of the population, uplift her country as well. This summer, when the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan and outlawed secondary education for girls, Basij-Rasikh safely evacuated the entire school community to Kigali, Rwanda. Now, as an international advocate, she is shining the spotlight on the Taliban’s renewed ban on girls’ education.

“The last time the world looked away, it did not bode well for Afghanistan or for the U.S., so let’s not repeat that same mistake. It will be devastating again if we choose to look away. We do not have that luxury,” said BasijRasikh, during her visit.

Twenty years ago, Roger Williams University turned its attention to Afghanistan in the months after 9/11 and took action by providing several full scholarships through a first-of-its-kind program in the U.S. to help educate Afghan women. Now hearing BasijRasikh’s call for more action, RWU renewed that commitment to at-risk education once again, announcing scholarships for full tuition, room and board, for two Afghan girls to attend the university.

“I have a personal passion for promoting women’s education. We will do what we can do for the young women of Afghanistan, and they will enrich our campus in amazing ways as our students interact with them and hear their stories,” RWU President Ioannis Miaoulis said during his announcement of the scholarships at the community conversation with Basij-Rasikh held in October.

“Thank you, this is amazing!” replied Basij-Rasikh. “Already I can think of some amazing young women for the university.

This is one of the best ways that you can continue to support young Afghan women.”

Earlier in the day, Basij-Rasikh spoke with a small group of honors students about at-risk education. Afterward, Basij-Rasikh sat down with Provost Margaret Everett in a conversation open to the wider university

community. In both settings, she emphasized the importance of education and encouraged the community to help make education accessible for women and girls worldwide.

Junior biology major Taylor Child asked Basij-Rasikh what she could do as a 20-yearold American to help, adding that she feels motivated by her family history and her drive to create a more equitable world.

“My mom was raised in Saudi Arabia during the Iranian Revolution, so she saw a lot of similar changes,” said Child. “I am a firm believer in gender equality. I recognize that I have a lot of privilege being able to come to a university and better myself, and I want to learn how to give others that opportunity as well.”

Basij-Rasikh appreciated Child’s question and suggested taking the opportunity to research and learn more about what is happening in the world and the key players who are affecting change.

“We all have a moral obligation and responsibility for the safety of the world. Never underestimate the power of international entities. Educate yourself about their roles and responsibilities and understand the movements they are trying to address. You have access to amazing research, so use this time to truly educate yourself,” she said.

With her inspiring words leaving a resounding impact, RWU will work with Basij-Rasikh in the months ahead to identify the two Afghan girls who will receive full university scholarships.

FINDING REFUGE AT ROGER: SCHOLAR AT RISK MEHMET SOZER M’05 After returning to Turkey with a Ph.D., what did you do?

We established a research center in international terrorism and transnational crime. Notably, we conducted research for the peace talks between the government and the PKK, and the center served as a key point in Kurdish operations. I also worked closely with the U.S. Department of State’s Global Counterterrorism Forum in Washington, D.C. on issues ranging from domestic to international terrorism and regarding ISIS, Al-Qaeda and other radical extremists.

Mehmet Sozer was a captain in the Turkish National Police and professor at the national police academy, recognized for international counterterrorism expertise and playing a key role in brokering peace talks between his country and the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK). But a failed state coup spurred a purge of high-ranking officials, and in 2017, Sozer was labeled a terrorist and imprisoned by his government. He later made a harrowing escape with his family to Germany; then through the Scholars at Risk program and RWU’s School of Justice Studies, Sozer returned to Roger Williams University, where he had earned his master’s in criminal justice more than a decade ago. Since August, he has been teaching international policing and counterterrorism to RWU’s future criminal justice professionals.

40

What led you to RWU for the master’s criminal justice program in 2004?

I was selected as one of 65 elite police officers from the Turkish National Police (TNP) to study policing in the U.S. It was a project supported by (Turkey’s thenPrime Minister) Erdogan, who ironically later purged ranking officials in the TNP, especially ones who attended the U.S. program. We were to bring back our learning to adapt Turkish policing policies to help Turkey become a member of the European Union.

What did you gain from your RWU education?

I had the opportunity to get involved with our American counterparts in order to understand how they operate and conduct criminal investigations, engaging with numerous criminal justice agencies, such as the Boston Police Department and MBTA. I also attended officers’ field training, basic criminal investigation and other trainings at RWU’s JSTRI (Justice System Training & Research Institute). It wasn’t just sitting in class and taking notes, it was also engaging with real policing and other institutions here.

How did you connect with Scholars at Risk and RWU? Once safe in Germany I applied to Scholars at Risk and reached out to (retired SJS Dean) Bob McKenna. We had no connection for the past three years, because I was afraid of the government tracking communication with the U.S., and he was aware of the political situation and couldn’t contact me directly. I was supposed to come in 2020, but because of Covid restrictions, it was postponed for one year.

Has it felt like home to be back at RWU? I feel at home. It’s been 15 years since I was at Roger Williams, but it was like I never left here.

What does it mean to be teaching the next generations of criminal justice professionals?

I am teaching from the heart and from real experience in my courses when I am talking about international policing and counterterrorism issues. It’s not just out of the textbook. And I still have many contacts at international agencies and have current info on what’s going on at the United Nations and the international level to inform my teaching.

STAND-ing Up for Domestic Violence Victims Dance students slowly rise from a fallen position to stand on two feet over the course of one hour in STAND, a performance art installation honoring domestic violence victims and survivors. STAND is an annual event organized and conceived by RWU Dance and Performance Studies Professor Cathy Nicoli. Each year, Title IX Coordinator and Associate Dean Jen Stanley brings The Silent Witness Initiative, an international project to honor those who lost their lives to domestic violence, to the STAND event. Life-size red cutouts representing victims of domestic violence are interspersed among the rising dancers on the university quad.

“I am always looking for ways to bring my dancers into service-learning community projects,” says Nicoli. “The slow-motion movement serves as a kinetic metaphor for the time it takes for victims of violence to extract themselves from patterns of abuse, heal, recover, and rebuild. It is a catalyst for education about domestic violence.”

The annual event is an opportunity for the RWU community to come together and hold space on a challenging issue.

“It is a wonderful collaboration and an opportunity to talk about where folks can find support for themselves or somebody they care about, and to show the power of bystander intervention,” says Stanley. “We can make our community not just here at Roger, but also the greater community, a safer place for everyone.”

more students who are interested in pursuing this unique opportunity, the university is opening up the 3+3 program to any student who adds legal studies as a second major to their current degree, whether they are studying history, biology, psychology, or another subject.

“There are obvious benefits to these programs,” says Amy Tiberio, Vice President of Enrollment Management and Admissions at RWU. “Students can complete their degree in a shorter amount of time. This means that it also costs less money for the student, and presumably they will be entering the workforce a year earlier, which can lead to exponentially higher earning potential.”

Whether it’s a student staying on at RWU from their undergraduate studies to complete a master’s degree or earn a law degree, a student transferring from another university or working professional seeking a career change with our graduate programs, Roger Williams is committed to developing educational pathways that match students’ needs with their passions.

New Leaders and Advisors Bring Diverse Expertise to University Planning An organization can only be as strong as its team. Since joining RWU in August 2019, President Ioannis Miaoulis has been assembling a leadership team that includes new academic leaders, along with national and global influential partners, to bring the university to the next level.

A change in presidency brings an exciting moment for an

organization: a chance to pause and reflect on its history and goals, and to consider as a community what direction the future should take. As one of his first priorities as president, Miaoulis has reinvigorated comprehensive strategic planning.

The entire university community has come together to explore our aspirations and create a strategic action plan that will guide our efforts for serving our students and working with our community and industry partners.

What has made this collective initiative a success so far?

That President Miaoulis is, at heart, a convener. His first question when faced with a challenge or examining an idea is: Do we have the right people in the room? His inclusive style pulls people in close to make sure ideas are connected and collaborative, bringing the best and boldest ideas forward to action.

“The complex challenges and questions facing an institution – especially one that aspires to solve big problems and make a difference in the world – require us to think in new ways, to design ideas from expertise and to involve those who have a real stake in its solution,” Miaoulis says. “I deeply value the perspectives, advice and strategies gleaned from bringing the right people together to tackle a challenge effectively and creatively.”

This governs how he leads the university, with a collaborative spirit that seeks to hear from advisors, administrators, faculty, staff, students and alumni alike, before he arrives at a decision.

He operates much like the new interdisciplinary approaches identified in RWU’s Strategic Action Plan that are connecting academic disciplines to collaborate on program development: the idea that working together as a whole is stronger than the individual sum of its parts.

These last years, RWU has shaped a leadership team that is ready to realize our strategic plan and guide faculty and staff to greatness in service to our students. Half of the Board of Trustees are new members, joining to replace term-limited members and as a result of intentionally expanding the board up to 35 members. Eight of 12 President’s Cabinet members are new to their leadership role since Miaoulis began, and for the first time in university history the Cabinet is equally representative of women and men leaders. And six of the eight school deans have been serving in their academic leadership roles for less than five years.

Another of his priorities was to bring back many more alumni to connect with their alma mater and become involved with decision-making. As a result, Miaoulis and the advancement team have also created two new advisory groups, the President’s Circle and a Board of Advisors, made up of trusted alumni, parents, industry partners and global leaders who will help connect the university to the world around us, to share their expertise and inform what is required of an RWU graduate to be successful in their careers and lives.

“We have the best people on board to realize the future for Roger Williams University,” Miaoulis says. “We have assembled a diverse group of amazing industry and entrepreneurial leaders on the Board of Trustees, developed close relationships with major philanthropic influencers, and we have the right leadership team serving on the Cabinet to help guide our university decisions and to collaborate with our distinguished faculty and staff. These are all the ingredients we need for us to move forward together to make Roger Williams a more distinctive and enduring institution.”

Here is an introduction to the new active members of the RWU Board of Trustees and new board liaisons from the RWU Law Board of Directors.
