GET TO KNOW THE REAL JWU

[jay - WOO]:

That feeling you get when you find a university that offers you fun-filled campuses in two great cities, hands-on opportunities for real-world experience and the skills to start your future right now.

ONE CAMPUS ISN’T ENOUGH to hold all this innovation, passion and opportunity.

That’s why our students call two vibrant cities — Providence, Rhode Island and Charlotte, North Carolina — home!

“It was great to get handson experience and also be trusted enough by your instructor that you can do it on your own. I gained lots of independent skills.”

Hands-on is the

WILDCAT WAY

“The Wildcat Investment Value Fund was a giant reason I came here — to be able to invest real money that’s part of the school’s endowment as a student. It was the bulk of my interviews with JP Morgan, Fidelity and Goldman Sachs — that’s what they talked about. And that’s what got me in the door.”

Garett Koch ’23, Accounting and Finance double major

Kimberly Sacaza ’23, Biology

Students can learn how to harvest their own food, from herbs to vegetables to honey kept by JWU’s apiary society

WHERE THE WILDCATS ARE

Johnson & Wales University’s 100+ student-run clubs and organizations, plus tons of local volunteering opportunities, allow Wildcats to pursue almost any passion.

(And if there isn’t a club for yours, you could start one!)

“The whole collaborative project stuff is one of the reasons I actually decided on this school, and I was so excited to finally do it.”

“JWU doesn’t just teach; it pushes career growth like career management courses, helping with résumés and LinkedIn and cover letters. It’s really helpful because friends at other schools struggle to figure it out but don’t have resources.”

“The faculty here are amazing. They’re so hands-on. They will help you with anything you need. They’re always here after hours, putting in 110% all the time to make the best environment for their students. And the faculty is honestly so close-knit with the students, which is also really nice to have because I know a lot of other colleges are not like that. And that close-knit atmosphere is really great to have as an experience here.”

Marcus Couture ’23, Criminal Justice

JWU’s Grow Lab invites Cannabis Entrepreneurship students to experiment with sunlight, soil and other conditions with help from Professor Budziszek

“This trip was unlike any other I have ever been on. Not only was it a tour in another country, but one we as students were able to lead. We saw our peers in tour guide roles. Everything that we have learned in the classroom was put into practical use.”

Teagan Nine ’23, Sports, Entertainment, Event — Management (SEEM)
