Welcome to the RWU Hawk Family!
The Department of Athletics is excited to have you at Roger Williams University. The Department of Athletics is here to help you grow during your time at RWU and we are going to do everything we can to make your time here as a Student-Athlete the most successful as possible.
The University and the Department are committed to providing you the opportunity to excel in the classroom and in athletics. We have faculty who will push you to do your best in the classroom. They will push you to think differently. They will be on the sidelines as Faculty Athlete Mentors. Some will become your biggest advocates if you cultivate the relationship. We have coaches who are committed to you and your growth as an athlete and as a person. They will push you to help you achieve things you never thought possible. You will develop relationships with your coaches and teammates who will be mentors and life-long friends.
Collegiate athletics is a privilege, not a right. Participating in intercollegiate athletics is an opportunity that few have. With that being said, student-athletes are role models on campus and in the community. Ethical conduct and integrity are at the core of everything you do. Your performance in the classroom, your behavior in the residence halls, your posts on social media, your acceptances of the differences in others, your work ethic in practice and competition, all matter. You are expected to carry yourself in a positive manner.
This Student-Athlete Handbook has policies, guidelines, and expectations you are expected to follow. Please take the time to read this thoroughly.
Please feel free to stop by my office if you have any questions, concerns or just want to say hello.
Good Luck to you this year.
