We may be young in years as an institution, but we are rich in history. Wonderful things have been happening on our campus throughout our five decades and this year we look back on our history with great pride for who we have been as an institution and who we have become.

From our beginnings as a junior college in Providence at the YMCA, to the four year accredited university we are today, Roger Williams University has enjoyed tremendous growth in its physical and intellectual development.

Take a moment to explore our past and learn more about the people and events that have made RWU the great institution it is today. Help us preserve our history by sharing your memories of what shaped—and continues to shape—your Roger Williams experiences.
