Student Programs, Leadership, & Orientation
Student Programs, Leadership, & Orientation works to provide diverse opportunities for students to connect with clubs and organizations across campus.
Make the most of your college experience and GET INVOLVED! Our students create and foster learning environments to gain awareness of self and others, discover leadership as an action, and value the responsibility to contribute positively to the campus and greater community. We want to help you connect your passions to our various groups on campus to make your time at ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ a memorable one!
Our mission is to engage the student body in meaningful and complex co-curricular activities that foster individual and peer development through leadership and experiential opportunities.
The Hawks' Hangout
The Hawks' Hangout is a perfect place for students to pass the time between classes. Located in the Campus Recreation Center, the Hawks' Hangout provides students a place to play a quick game between classes. Enjoy air hockey, foosball, Skee-Ball, pinball, board games, Nintendo Switch, Oculus Quest 2, or simply watch TV while enjoying a smoothie or coffee from the snack bar.
Any member of the Roger Williams community can utilize the Hawks' Hangout games by providing your ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ student ID to our Hawks' Hangout Handlers.
