Looking to the Future

As the pages of this Annual Report clearly show, we continue to succeed and excel at Roger Williams University School of Law. We are proud to be Rhode Island’s law school, and we are dedicated to training the next generation of lawyers and leaders for the state and the country.

At RWU Law, we remain faithful to our original mission—and we also innovate toward the future. Over the coming year, we will continue to provide our students with highly effective and innovative doctrinal and experiential learning opportunities. We will continue to explore important legal issues through our research and scholarship. We will continue to serve the public—especially those in need—and strive to make Rhode Island a better place for all. And in all that we do, we will seek to constantly innovate and improve.

To succeed in all of this, and achieve RWU Law’s true potential, we need your continued support of our programs and students. There are many ways to offer support (including hiring our graduates, teaching as adjunct faculty, and offering students employment and externships), but financial support is imperative for greater and ongoing success. Please consider being our partner in success, so that RWU Law can achieve even more and better serve all of our stakeholders—and most importantly, all of our students.

As the world settles into a “new normal,” I plan to travel more and attend more events in person. I truly hope that I have the opportunity to meet you in person soon. Until then, best wishes—and thank you for your continued support of RWU Law!

All my best, Gregory W. Bowman
