- Roger Williams University is inextricably connected to Roger Williams, the 17th-century leader devoted to freedom of conscience and social justice who founded a community in Rhode Island-based on those tenets. Roger Williams' philosophy, and what has been called his 'lively experiment,' nurtured vibrant and open societies' growth. Our pursuit of excellence in education, academic accomplishment, and community service is rooted in his focus on intellectual exchange, critical thinking, inclusiveness, and innovation as a means of improving a free society. It is this legacy that inspires our core purpose. RWU is dedicated to engaged, hands-on learning, and teaching that helps strengthen society. Every student is provided the opportunity to participate in a real-world learning experience that helps a community partner locally or globally. School of Law students offers pro bono legal services, with many completing more than 100 hours of service before graduation. Every RWU student makes an impact on our society – from working in the Rhode Island community to participating in a study-abroad program overseas. To build the university the world needs now, we draw inspiration from our namesake and reflect upon our unique history to chart a visionary course for the future of Roger Williams University. Just as Roger Williams himself fearlessly advocated for freedom of conscience, equality, and tolerance to help improve his community, RWU prides itself on being an innovative, forward-thinking institution devoted to strengthening society through engaged teaching and learning. Here at Roger Williams, we continually invest in innovative programs to provide educational experiences that prepare students to be lifelong learners, professionals, and global citizens.
