Parents and Family Giving
RWU’s Parents & Families Giving Society is composed of parents and families who aim to provide critical philanthropic support to the University. Engaging with the Parents and Families Giving Society is a rewarding opportunity to become more engaged and involved with your student’s experience, the goals, mission, and future of Roger Williams, as well as RWU student success.
Welcome to the Roger Williams University family! As an RWU parent or family member, you are a vital member of the University community. We encourage parents and families to actively participate in their student’s college career to provide additional support, resources, and opportunities as well as engage in campus-wide initiatives, events, and philanthropy.
