As a campus built on standards of social justice and experiential learning, Roger Williams University used COVID-19 as an opportunity to think creatively about ways to serve its community.

True to its inclusive mission, the school showed its character throughout the crisis and its planning, coming up with personal ways to connect with prospective families, support off-campus communities, and open pathways to learning.

Learn why, even in the velocity of immediate planning needs, Brian Williams, Chief of Staff, and his cohorts rejected binary thinking and chose conditions over calendars.
