Connect With Us

We want to get to know you and for you to get to know us!  

We offer a variety of experiences to connect with our campus community and the Office of Admission. Our in-person and virtual offerings are dynamic and designed to provide our visitors with an in-depth look at the RWU experience and give you a sense of what it's like to be an RWU Hawk. We are adding experiences and sessions as we are able to, so please check back frequently, or contact us if you don’t see something that will work for you.

We want to make sure visitors are aware of any roadwork that may impact arrival/travel time. Check this page for Travel Notices.

Counselor and Group Visits

Counselor Visits: We welcome visits from high school and independent counselors. Reserve your spot for a 30 minute admission information session, followed by a 60-90 minute student-led walking tour of the campus. 

Group Visits: Are you looking for ways to keep students engaged, mix up content, and get them out of the classroom? We hope you'll explore our Group Visit programs. We tailor each and every visit to ensure the best possible experience. Request a date/time that works best for your group (we'll do our best to accommodate). If you would like to include a special topic presentation, lunch in our dining hall, or another visit component, please include this in the additional information section at the end of the form.
