Proud to see Rhode Island recognized in the latest U.S. News grad rankings, including RWU Law and RWU’s Public Affairs program.

A strong reflection of the work and mission behind both.

At the State House with @myrwu @RWULaw. Pleased to work with the School of Law on their affordable housing clinic and eviction defense work.

Great to welcome RWU students, faculty & staff to the State House. As RI's only law school @RWULaw plays a key role in shaping our next generation of law professionals & public servants. I cherish the award given to me by RWU Law for my work to protect human rights. #changemakers

Yesterday, Roger Williams University held a Law and Justice Day at the State House to showcase programs at @myrwu, @RWULaw, and @rwuext.

Speaker @JoeShekarchi spoke to the students, staff, and alumni in attendance and noted the tremendous impact RWU Law has on the state's legal and judicial communities as Rhode Island's only law school.

@junespeakman, who is also a professor of political science at RWU, also provided comments at the event and later introduced a resolution during the House session to recognize RWU's academic and economic contributions to the state:
