SASH TURNS

Want to learn how RWU’s buildings can become greener through more sustainable practices? Interested in addressing racial disparities within the national juvenile justice system? Our students explore these serious issues and more, often with a lens on social and environmental justice, through courses and community-engaged work. Then at the end of each academic year, undergraduate and graduate students share their ideas, solutions and creative works with the university community at the annual Student Academic Showcase and Honors (SASH) event. In April, RWU celebrated the 10th anniversary of SASH, an opportunity for students to engage in scholarly discourse with fellow students, faculty and staff in a collegiate academic conference and artistic showcase.

“

SASH is a wonderful moment to celebrate research and creativity across all of our programs. This year, the breadth of projects, the poise of our students in presenting their work, and the evidence of faculty mentorship really blew me away.

The stories shared in this issue provide a continuing reminder of why I love to serve as President of Roger Williams University. Now in my fifth year as president, I have seen countless examples of what makes Roger Williams a truly special community, united by a shared passion and purpose to make a positive social and environmental impact and be the changemakers and leaders the world needs.

There are too many stories for one magazine to celebrate the many ways our faculty, staff and students dive into hands-on learning that tackles real issues, like our School of Justice Studies’ innovative Dead Man Walking course [page 13], where Criminal Justice students examine capital punishment and the death penalty, getting a firsthand look at the Louisiana State Penitentiary system and interviewing inmates on death row. Professor of Communication Studies Kamille Gentles-Peart [page 11] is researching the body politics surrounding voluptuous Black women’s bodies on a Fulbright Scholarship in Trinidad and Tobago – antiracist work that she has brought to the university community in RWU’s Hidden Truths lecture series and in class discussions.

RWU students continue to build powerful combinations of academic degrees and professional credentials, becoming critical thinkers and team collaborators, with well-rounded and enhanced skillsets that make them more career-ready and prepared to lead fulfilling lives. Take for example, the first graduates of our new Real Estate Graduate Certificate program [page 5] at the Cummings School of Architecture, who were able to easily add the certificate coursework to their Architecture and Preservation Studies programs and opened greater career opportunities in their fields. And the incredible work of our Education and Engineering students [page 7] teaming up to teach more than 200 local fourth graders each year about wind energy and how to design and build their own wind turbines, bringing them to our campus for a day of engineering activities and inspiring scores of young students to pursue a STEM education.

This year, we are also celebrating a historic milestone and the future of the School of Law. Throughout the year, RWU Law will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its founding and the launch of the Institute for Race and the Law. This new Institute represents the continued commitment of the law school’s justice-driven mission and leadership in legal education. It will support student scholarships, teaching, and research on issues of race and the law, as well as lecture series, symposia and programs exploring racial justice featuring external scholars and in collaboration with schools and colleges across the university.

I came to RWU because of stories like these: stories of our students and alumni who transformed themselves and discovered their passion; stories of our faculty and staff doing great work in service to our students and to the world. Together, we are developing new knowledge, finding solutions, and lifting up the people and communities around us. We should all take pride in these accomplishments. This is why it’s always a great day to be a Hawk!

The FUTURE OF

New dean to lead the Gabelli School of Business into its next chapter Diya Das, a business school administrator, educator and expert in human resource management, organizational behavior, and international business, became dean of the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business (GSB) in June. With a continued focus on GSB’s academic excellence and real-world learning, she is guiding the expansion of the business school’s leadership into blue economy innovation, real estate and entrepreneurship. Hear from Dean Das on where GSB is heading next.

1

BUSINESS ED What is your emerging vision for GSB as the new dean?

The business world is in flux with major shifts caused by AI and new technologies, and environmental and social shifts that are creating new challenges to the existing way of doing things. My emerging vision for the Gabelli School is that it be at the forefront of innovative and interdisciplinary business education that creates the leaders the world needs next. The capabilities we have with our faculty expertise, our small class sizes and the immense talent across campus that we can tap into work together to provide us with a unique niche in the world of business schools. I hope we can harness this huge potential in a way that focuses on specific areas of excellence, such as the world of the blue economy that the university has a strong focus on. The university’s interdisciplinary capabilities will allow us to create muchneeded graduate and undergraduate programs that develop strong business knowledge along with a balanced portfolio of skills that are both humanistic and technical.

How has the Gabelli School modeled RWU’s mission of providing a real-world education and powerful combination of studies, and where do you see that heading in the next few years?

The Gabelli School has always been a leader of real-world experiential education, with examples like the Center for Advanced Financial Education (CAFE) program and the National Advertising Competition program. Most of our students graduate with powerful combinations of dual majors and minors which have helped get great internships and jobs. Every day I learn about how our alums are successful not just in securing their first jobs, but also in rising up within their fields. I am so inspired by their careers and so excited when I hear them share how their Gabelli education prepared them for their professions from day one. In a few years, we hope to add more signature learning opportunities and grow our graduate programs, to provide interdisciplinary learning opportunities that enable our students and alums to continue a lifelong learning journey, to increase opportunities for alums to serve as mentors to current students, and to become their preferred institution to serve their educational needs through the twists and turns of their careers.

How do you see the focus and role of a business school aligning with the university’s overall academic priorities?

The university has a fantastic vision statement that outlines the core values of our education being transformative, engaged, experiential, inclusive and innovative. These are also the key areas of excellence for the Gabelli School and I don’t have space to provide an exhaustive listing of how we’re living those values. As examples of hands-on learning, our CAFE students manage multimillion-dollar investment portfolios in real time, and economics majors participate in the national collegiate Fed Challenge. Part of GSB’s commitment to inclusivity includes creating women business leaders through our annual Ignite: Accelerating Women’s Success at Work conference and a thriving Women in Business Student Organization. The university is also committed to expanding graduate programs, and GSB can play an important role in developing new graduate business and interdisciplinary programs.

Your expertise is in complex identity negotiations in the workplace under globalization. What was your most memorable global work experience and how did it shape you professionally and personally?

As an international student and an immigrant in the United States, I have been blessed with a fantastic cross-cultural experience that has shaped the person that I am today.

The great diversity in this country allows us to experience multiculturalism in a way that is hard to find anywhere else in the world. In addition, I have served as a Visiting Faculty member at Aalto University in Finland where I worked with undergraduate students from European and Asian countries. I love traveling and meeting people from around the world – this is not only my field of study, but my passion as well. I love the diversity in perspectives and experiences that I have seen in teaching students from all over the world. However, what amazes me every time is the immense similarities that young people share despite huge differences in their backgrounds! Some of it is probably more recent and fueled by connectivity of the internet, but it is a powerful reminder of how we are all fundamentally similar and connected as a species, and that we need to think of the whole planet when we are making decisions regarding the biggest challenges of our times.

a summer at

nickelodeon

By Mel Thibeault

Lucero Blanco adores animated shows.

The native Spanish speaker even credits “SpongeBob SquarePants” with helping her learn English as a child. A first-generation student, Blanco worried that working in animation would never be more than a dream. That all changed this past summer when the now-senior at Roger Williams University walked through the studio where Stephen Hillenburg, the late “SpongeBob” creator, once walked, as part of her 10-week internship with Nickelodeon Animation in Burbank, Calif. “I learned all about the animation industry and saw how kind and supportive everybody is. I met people from ‘SpongeBob SquarePants,’ ‘Big Nate,’ and ‘Baby Shark.’ It was so cool to meet people in the studio and help out.” Blanco, a Creative Writing and Graphic Design Communication double major and Marine Biology minor from Norwich, Conn., worked alongside the Nickelodeon Community Efforts (NiCE) team. She assisted staff with drawing, storyboarding, and puppetry workshops for children and teenagers; led studio tours; designed graphics; and maintained databases all while learning from the teams behind some of Nick’s biggest animated shows. “These 10 weeks have been some of the most joy filled.”

At Roger, Blanco created a graphic novel, “Ten Rules,” in a scriptwriting class, writing and illustrating more than 135 pages. After presenting her work during the Student Academic Showcase and Honors on campus in April, she published it as a webcomic. “When the hiring manager at Nickelodeon asked me to send a portfolio, I shared this project. She told me there’s something in me that could really go far in animation. That was at the time when I didn’t know if I was going to get the internship or not.”

While 6,000 people applied for a Nickelodeon internship, Blanco was one of only 22 selected.

Interning at Nickelodeon was a huge deal for this first-generation Latino student. “I’m pursuing a career that no one in my family has ever pursued.

It was emotional at first, but eventually I realized I deserve to be here. I’ve worked so hard. I’ve put so much blood, sweat, and tears into my education and projects. I’m excited and proud to represent my family.”

From scriptwriting to graphic design, skills Blanco learned at Roger prepared her for Nickelodeon. “Ted Delaney, my Creative Writing professor, has experience in the industry and taught us about scriptwriting and how to make a pitch bible. Graphic Design Professor Nikki Juen was one of my biggest motivators. There were techniques I took with me from Roger and applied to my projects at Nickelodeon to make graphics and posters.”

Meeting artists and animators helped her learn more about the industry. “I sat in on storyboarding and background illustration classes and communicated with people who do this day to day. I’ve learned so much, including what helps a portfolio stand out. It’s tips like these that helped me gain a better understanding of how this industry works.”

In the future, Blanco wants to lead her own show. “I aspire to be a showrunner-directorproducer for an animated series. In the next five to 10 years, I want to help other people tell their stories – as a storyboard artist, a storyboard revisionist, an animatic editor, or a scriptwriter. I find animation to be such a creative storytelling method.”

A ceremonial sliming concluded her internship. Per the classic Nickelodeon gag, Blanco had a bucket of bright green slime dumped on her head. “It felt like Nickelodeon has left its mark on me.

Literally. Also, it was freezing.”

“

In the next five to 10 years, I want to help other people tell their stories – as a storyboard artist, a storyboard revisionist, an animatic editor, or a scriptwriter.

Growing up, “SpongeBob SquarePants” was one of Blanco’s favorite shows. “My siblings and I, our first language was Spanish, so ‘SpongeBob’ helped us learn proper English. Being able to meet people on the crew and see the show’s archival materials – it was amazing.”

Blanco is busy at RWU, serving as president of the Marine Science Club and marketing chair for the Sexuality and Gender Alliance. She’s also involved with the Design Club, Scuba Club, Feminists United, the Hispanic and Latinx Student Association, and the Women of Color Club. She’s excited to finish her senior year strong. “I am so close to graduating and breaking that generational barrier. There are so many people I want to thank.”

STACKING CREDENTIALS

ON

By Grace Boland

STUDENTS CHOOSE TO LAYER REAL ESTATE GRADUATE CERTIFICATE INTO THEIR DEGREES When RWU launched a Real Estate Graduate Certificate program last year, Avery Corcoran ’23 saw it as an opportunity to broaden her skillset and open new professional pathways while completing her graduate studies in Preservation Practices. It was a powerful combination of academic degrees and credentials she knew would give her a leg up when she started her career search.

“Having a great academic background is one thing, but if you have an interdisciplinary understanding of different industries, it helps you make projects more successful and bring in all the right people who work in those different fields,” said Corcoran, who received a B.S. in Preservation Studies and M.S. in Preservation Practices from RWU. And the best part was how easy it was to add it to her course load, since the real estate certificate program matches many requirements for a preservation

or architecture degree at RWU. An interdisciplinary program – with courses spanning the Cummings School of Architecture, Mario J. Gabelli School of Business, School of Engineering,

- Avery Corcoran ’23 Computing and Construction Management, and the School of Law – the Real Estate program is designed to enable course selection customization for all fields intersecting the real estate industry.

“The Cummings School makes it very accessible to get a Real Estate Graduate

Certificate by choosing class options that will coincide with your degree and adding a few more,” said the Attleboro, Mass., resident. “For me, I only needed to add three additional courses, and I had really wanted to take those financial planning and finance preservation courses.”

This spring, the Cummings School of Architecture graduated its first cohort of Real Estate Graduate Certificate participants. One year after receiving the generous gift of $20 million from Cummings Foundation, the Cummings Institute for Real Estate – named in honor of Bill and Joyce Cummings – launched the graduate certificate and held the inaugural Real Estate Symposium. At this symposium, students in the certificate program had the opportunity to present their research and network with industry-leading professionals from across the real estate industries.

Xuanzi Li ’23, from Zibo, Shandong, was part of the first cohort, graduating with an M.S. in Preservation Practices and

Xuanzi Li ‘23 said she appreciated the opportunity to network and learn from industry leaders at RWU’s Real Estate Symposium.

RWU LAUNCHES MASTER OF SCIENCE IN REAL ESTATE

Avery Corcoran ‘23 presents her project to reimagine Bonniecrest at the symposium.

Real Estate Graduate Certificate.

She presented her project on creating accessible housing on Bellevue Avenue in Newport, R.I. Li had the opportunity to meet Jim Trudeau, the Chief Design Officer for Cummings Properties, who offered advice based on industry insights to improve her project.

“The symposium offered me a new perspective to look at the industry of real estate as a whole, not how it looks from the outside,” said Li. In Corcoran’s real estate program project, she teamed up with Architecture graduate students to imagine how to restore a Newport, R.I. gilded-age mansion, Bonniecrest, to get it placed back on the National Register of Historic Places.

“We had to work across disciplines, housing, architecture, preservation, real estate, and development. I was the only Preservation major on the team and to learn how architects think about projects was an eye-opening experience that will help me in my future career,” she said.

After graduating from RWU, Corcoran spent a month in Italy, in a San Gemini Preservation Studies program, before returning home and applying for jobs where she can work on adaptive reuse of buildings or repurposing craftmanship-quality materials.

“This program opened my eyes to greater possibilities of jobs. I didn’t go into the final year of grad school thinking that I would work in real estate or affordable housing. It helped me see how all these fields intersect and to branch out into other opportunities such as real estate development firms,” she said.

The Master of Science in Real Estate is a multidisciplinary program designed to develop professionals who understand the varied aspects of the real estate profession, including design, finance, management, construction, regulatory affairs, environmental concerns, social policy, and property law. Launched this fall through the Cummings School of Architecture and in collaboration with the business school, law school, and construction management program, the program leverages the university’s expertise in areas such as project development and finance, design, urban and regional planning, and historic preservation. With a variety of elective coursework to choose from, students can customize their educational pathway to focus on one area or develop a combination of skills. It is offered full-time and part-time, with rolling enrollment that allows students to begin in the fall or spring semester.

reating a model of a wind turbine may not sound like a breeze. But after working with Roger Williams University students to create tiny turbines last spring, fourth graders in the Bristol-Warren Regional School District (BWRSD) were blown away by how fun engineering can be.

In April, the fourth graders packed a room inside RWU’s Campus Recreation Center to watch as their turbines each had a

turn in a “wind test tunnel” to test their electrical output. Their energy was off the charts – the students’ energy, that is. As the blades began spinning, their cheers could be heard all the way down the hall.

The collaboration is all part of KidWind, a unique experiential learning opportunity in which RWU Engineering and Education students team up to teach fourth graders about engineering design

and wind energy. A partnership between RWU and BWRSD, KidWind was started in 2019 by RWU Assistant Professor of Engineering Maija Benitz and Associate Professor of Science Education Li-Ling Yang as a way to help fill a gap in the local school district and offer RWU’s expertise in STEM education and engineering with a focus on the blue economy.

Each year, around 200 fourth graders from Bristol and Warren get

a hands-on lesson in wind energy and engineering.

The fourth graders aren’t the only ones to benefit from this powerful experience. Read on to hear from an Engineering major and an Education student about the lessons they’ve learned from KidWind.

“KidWind was very inspiring and got me interested in working in sustainable energy. Teaching fourth graders about wind turbines and seeing their interest increased my own interest. I changed routes; I wanted to pursue the aerospace field, but now I want to work in sustainable energy.

“I definitely learned a lot from the Education majors. It was challenging at first. Before this experience, I never really had to explain what I was doing to anyone in non-engineering terms. With KidWind, I was using a thesaurus to come up with synonyms for more complicated words. A really important skill I gained is how to talk to people who don’t have the same background as me. Once I’m working, I’m going to talk to a lot of people who may not have an engineering background, so it’s good to be able to speak in lay terms. I also learned how to keep others engaged in the subject.

“It was a learning curve for the Education students as well since they didn’t know anything about wind turbines.

We (Engineering students) would teach them mini lessons on whatever topic we were supposed to teach the fourth graders that week.

Later, when the kids had questions, the Education majors were able to answer them because of our meetings.

“There were definitely some points during KidWind when I thought I should become a teacher. I really enjoyed teaching the fourth graders and seeing when they understood the lessons.

Maybe when I’m older, I’ll go back to school for an education degree and teach science.”

STEPHANIE RIOUX ’23 “Participating in KidWind as a sophomore and teaching wind energy lessons made me realize I really like science education and wanted to pursue that as my career. As a junior, Li-Ling Yang invited me back to KidWind as a research assistant where I was able to do behind-thescenes work, looking at and analyzing data on how KidWind impacts Education majors’ confidence in teaching Engineering.

“My research was accepted this year at the National Conference on Undergraduate Research. It was really inspiring. There were people from all over the country and from all different majors at this year’s conference. Getting to present my findings and hear about other education-related research inspired me to want to continue researching and publish my work in a science education journal.

“I also worked really closely with this past year's Elementary Education major participants, meeting with each of the teams to go through their lessons, which gave me experience in revising lesson plans.

My interest in science teaching was also part of what helped me secure my job teaching fifth grade at Webster Avenue Elementary School in Providence, R.I. The principal was excited that I will be able to teach the students science and prepare them for standardized tests.

“My first year of KidWind, having the Engineering students in my group felt like having a safety system. This is the first time Elementary Education students are planning and teaching lessons to children, so having people who are experts in the field and who can explain the concepts made it feel a lot more attainable. KidWind helps the Engineering majors, too. It’s great practice for them to communicate the complex information they know. They come out the other side better communicators.”

Questions on Black Body Politics

By Jill Pais ’05

Kamille Gentles-Peart, Professor of Communication Studies at RWU, has traveled to Trinidad and Tobago on a Fulbright Scholarship to research Black body politics.

11

I

n “postcolonial” countries like Barbados and Jamaica, and in the Afro-Caribbean diaspora in the United States, Black women find themselves navigating conflicting body politics around voluptuous Black bodies, according to Kamille GentlesPeart, Professor of Communication Studies. On a Fulbright Scholarship, Gentles-Peart has traveled to Trinidad and Tobago to continue research on how Black women from workingclass to corporate executive, young adults to married women, experience and survive this “dialectic of the thick body.”

What are the cultural attitudes surrounding Black women’s bodies that developed during colonial times?

From Transatlantic slavery to contemporary times, the main narrative promoted by white supremacy is that a thick Black woman is not attractive or feminine. Their bodies can take physical and sexual brutality and don’t need to be treated with care or nurtured. Then there are other narratives cultivated within Afro-Caribbean societies that celebrate curvy Black female bodies as ideal Black femininity. These two narratives often coexist in Caribbean societies, creating complicated and contradictory experiences for Black women. For example, in Jamaican folklore, there is the story of Queen Nanny of the Maroons, a leader in the resistance against slavery. Legend says that she had a prominent bottom, which she used to catch bullets from the British colonizers and save her community.

Here you see Black women’s thick bodies associated with strength, independence and anti-colonialism. At the same time, women in Jamaica who look like Queen Nanny struggle to be employed in lucrative jobs and corporate spaces and rarely see themselves portrayed in mainstream media.

Why did you describe Caribbean women living in the U.S. as having a “romance with voluptuousness” in your book on this subject?

If you don’t have that kind of body, you want to attain it. If you have it, you want to keep it. At the same time, I highlight this as the unrequited romance because even though you desire and are expected to have this kind of body, there are consequences that are not romantic at all. There are spaces where that body is celebrated, such as in

dance hall and soca. However, the social capital from having these bodies isn’t fully realized, because there are existing white supremacy narratives and practices around those bodies that keep them marginalized. For example, something as simple as finding clothes to fit a voluptuous body: in the U.S., you’re either a “normal” size or plus size. Many of the women I speak to don’t fit in either category and struggle to find clothes, especially those suitable for corporate settings. Women with voluptuous bodies are also susceptible to being groped and sexually assaulted, because their bodies are seen as being available.

What got you interested in this line of research?

As a Black Caribbean woman from Jamaica and living in the U.S., I have experienced first-hand and witnessed how thick Black women’s bodies are treated in the Caribbean and the U.S. - largely because of ideologies that shape how they are perceived. This treatment has real-life implications for romantic relationships, how we raise Black girls, how we move around in public, what we wear, where we are employed, and how violence against us is classified. Yet, I still don’t see these life stories in the literature on body politics in Western scholarship.

I want to help change that.

What is driving these changes in cultural attitude to reconsider and celebrate Black women’s bodies?

It’s what has driven Black people for centuries – the desire to not just exist, but to thrive, to resist, to not accept invisibility or oppression. Wanting to celebrate Black women’s bodies and not capitulate to what white supremacy says about their bodies come from the same desire that Black people’s ancestors had to resist slavery, to resist segregation, and to resist the idea that Black people are inferior. It’s the same desire to “make life,” meaning claiming personhood and making their own way in the face of forces that want to eliminate them.

Why do you want to bring these stories to academia?

The integrity of scholarship depends on us breaking away from research that study only certain white Western people and their experiences. Academia has always seen Black people, cultures and bodies as unworthy subjects. If we in academia are interested in knowing the world, but we exclude certain people from the world, then our knowledge will not only be incomplete, but it will be racist, and we will pass on that oppressive knowledge to our students. I want to amplify these stories in academia because it is a racial justice imperative to make sure the voices of Black women become part of the knowledge we are producing – or we will perpetuate the cycle that reinforces colonial-white-supremacist-patriarchal knowledge. This is reparative justice; this is epistemic justice.

“One of the biggest lessons I hope students take away is the difference in the punitive nature of the criminal justice system and the severity between the Northeast and South,” Bronson said.

The site of a former slave plantation, the Louisiana State Penitentiary forces students to confront the history of slavery and racial injustice, he said. “Students are in shock when they see inmates working in fields and carrying farm tools. It’s a stark illustration of what slavery looked like.”

This course opened Arel’s eyes to capital punishment’s deep roots in racism. “This can be seen in places like the Louisiana State Penitentiary, which historically was a plantation prison and still has fields where (prisoners) work,” he said. “Executions are primarily aimed at certain demographics, those being largely African Americans.”

A DIFFERENT LENS ON CRIMINAL JUSTICE One of the most impactful experiences came when students interviewed two inmates, who shared their stories of the prison’s work and rehabilitation programs, including how they’ve found some purpose while incarcerated. Arel called it a humanizing encounter. “It clicked that this is a regular individual, not some supervillain you might see on TV,” he said.

Students also toured the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans, one of 13 federal appellate courts, where they learned how cases made it to the court and how they might advance to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Even a well-versed Criminal Justice student learns a lot when they tour the courts,” Bronson said. “Having that hands-on experience helps them understand that there are local, state, and federal court systems and how to get from one to the next.”

While in New Orleans, Bronson peppered in cultural activities including a Cajun cooking class, a ghost tour, and a Jazz tour. “This is a great opportunity for students who haven’t traveled outside of the Northeast to see that there are many other cultures throughout the U.S.,” he said.

“Students talk about how this trip, much like a study abroad program, changes their lives because it gives them a different perspective.”

For Klaus, who hopes to work in counterterrorism, the course left her with more opinions about capital punishment but no conclusive stance. “The class was a deep dive into a topic that I hadn’t really thought about, but I became very interested in,” she said.

“Going into the class, I was torn (on my stance). I wanted to hear other people’s opinions and the law enforcement side.”

The program was life-changing for Arel, who said it solidified his dream to work in Homeland Security. “Being able to go to Louisiana and explore not just the prison but the court systems and speak with advocates such as Sister Helen was very helpful in understanding that the criminal justice system involves many factors and that I can impact the system in many different ways,” he said. “The trip helped clarify a lot of things I want to do – one of them being I will never work in a prison.”

TODAY’S TRADES WORKERS,

TOMORROW’S TEACHERS UC’s CTE Teacher Certification program prepares professionals for Rhode Island classrooms

By Jordan Jeffrey Phelan ’19

T

om Heatherton is used to responding to calls of need. During his five years as maintenance electrician for the East Providence School District, he handled everything from big to small service requests that came his way, even if it was just getting up on a desk to change a light bulb.

That was the case several years ago when Heatherton proposed adding an electrical technology program in a passing conversation with the director of the East Providence High School Career and Technical Center.

As a graduate of the New England Institute of Technology with nearly 30 years of experience as an electrician, Heatherton’s concern was not with the buildings themselves, but the young minds that learn inside them.

“I wanted to improve the quality of workmanship,” he said. “I think people have changed a little bit and they’ve gotten a little lackadaisical, like it’s good enough. I wanted to turn that around.”

In 2019, the high school launched the electrical technology program – and that was when Heatherton experienced a personal call to action. He wanted to be an educator in that program. There was just one issue: Heatherton lacked the necessary accreditation to teach.

For many working professionals with the skills and experience to impart their

knowledge to the next-generation workforce, there may be barriers to entry. Most states require that certified educators hold a bachelor’s or associate’s degree, which comes with a substantial time commitment that often doesn’t align with the work and personal responsibilities of a professional’s life. This only perpetuates the current skilledtrades teacher shortage. In the 2021-22 school year, 33 states reported a lack of career and technical educators, according to the U.S. Department of Education.

That’s why RWU’s University College answered the Rhode Island Department

of Education’s call for a teacher-training solution and created its Career and Technical Educator (CTE) Teacher Certification Program. Designed with working adults in mind, the yearlong RIDE-accredited program helps meet the state’s need to train more high school career and technical educators with a flexible initiative that aligns with a professional’s schedule and takes into consideration prior work experience and industry expertise. A hybrid of in-person and online training, it features an embedded practicum that allows the CTE students to apply what are they learning, often directly

“I tell my students all the time, ‘I’d rather see sparks.’ If the sparks are flying, or you make a mistake, this is the place for that.

So when you are out there in the field and there are sparks flying, you don’t panic,” he said. “That’s what teaching is, and it’s getting better every year, so I can only imagine where we’ll be in a couple years from now.”

Top left: Nestor Puello, a 2021 graduate of the CTE Teacher Certification program started the firefighter program at Central High School in Providence.

Bottom left: Current CTE Teacher Certification students Danielle Ricci (left) and Duane Maranda (right), both teach medical pathways at high schools in Rhode Island, stand in the Health Occupations classroom at East Providence High School.

in a high school classroom they have just started working in.

For CTE Teacher Certification Program Director Lynne Bedard, its exceptionality lies in its distinct instructional model that gives professionals more control over how they learn, a feature not available with the typical college degree track.

“Prior to this program, someone coming out of some industries would have to get a bachelor’s or associate’s degree and meet all sorts of requirements, which made it difficult to get people to want to become a teacher,” Bedard said. “It became a question of, ‘Did you really need that bachelor’s degree and all those requirements?’ Or could you find the essence of teaching, the pedagogy piece, and make that a much more relevant part of it?”

That is precisely what drew in Rebecca Paniccia, a current student in the dental assistant track of the program.

“It would take me forever to get a bachelor’s degree because I could only do it at night, one class at a time,” she said. “[And] I think hands-on experiences are more important.”

19

Now in its fourth year, the program boasts a graduate rate of 95 percent, with no signs of slowing down.

“It is heartening to see more secondary students considering CTE,” Bedard said.

“I remember when parents would say, ‘No, you’re not going there,’ and now I have parents saying, ‘Please let my child in.’ They get the fact that you can go onto college or a trade school. It’s such a varied spectrum of opportunities and I think people are realizing that now and that’s pretty awesome.”

And graduates agree.

“To get someone so experienced to teach them is beneficial to the students,” Paniccia said. “If you look at the country right now, we need trades, trades, trades. And what better person to teach these kids than someone who is actually doing the job?”

In 2020, Heatherton graduated from the program. Now behind the desk at East Providence High School as the Electrical Technology teacher, Heatherton’s days are filled with teaching a project-based curricula to transform his students of today into the electricians of tomorrow.

FOR 30 YEARS: A JUSTICE-CENTERED MISSION

T On the 30th anniversary, RWU Law launches Institute for Race and the Law

By Helga Melgar

his fall, RWU Law Dean Gregory W. Bowman held a far-ranging conversation with law school leaders to reflect on this milestone year, the school’s history and commitment to advancing social justice in legal education, and a bright future that includes the launch of The Institute for Race and the Law as the next step in its leadership on racial justice legal education.

The following pages provide excerpts of his conversation with Associate Director of Pro Bono Programs Suzanne Harrington-Steppen and Director of The Institute for Race and the Law Bernard Freamon.

GREGORY BOWMAN: As the School of Law celebrates our 30th anniversary, I wanted to get your thoughts about where the law school has been and where we are heading. Both of you lead work that sits at the heart of our mission: experiential education with a focus on social justice and our nationally recognized work on racial justice legal education.

These two areas really reflect our law school’s history and our future.

Suzy, you have been at RWU Law for 15 years in our Feinstein Center for Pro Bono & Experiential Education. Alan Shawn Feinstein’s financial gift – which established our requirement that all law students complete pro bono legal service before graduation – really shaped our law school’s DNA in meaningful ways from the very beginning. How has that gift, and our focus on pro bono experience, made an RWU Law education distinctive and evolved into the launching of our innovative Pro Bono Collaborative?

SUZY HARRINGTON-STEPPEN: Mr. Feinstein’s generous gift established the law school’s 20-hour pro bono requirement which later expanded to a 50-hour requirement. This, combined with Associate Dean Andrew Horwitz’s leadership in our experiential education programs and Professor Laurie Barron’s leadership in public interest programming, was foundational A university is really in creating the RWU Law not worth its salt if it brand of legal doesn’t do things that education help to bring about excellence – one that change in society. challenges students to —Freamon understand RWU MAGAZINE | FALL/WINTER 2023

the relationship between law and social inequality, and to integrate the professional responsibility all lawyers have to improve access to justice and the quality of our justice systems.

From there, the School of Law launched the Pro Bono Collaborative (PBC), under the direction of Professor Eliza Vorenberg, where we have created legal services from the ground up, in areas of the law and in communities where there was no free legal service. The PBC, with our incredible alumni network and the generous support of Mark Mandell,

projects. This is a very unique commitment the law school has made to our state and clearly demonstrates to our law students our law school’s values. Nearly 70% of our law students participate in a pro bono experience through the PBC or our Alternative Spring Break program. In doing so, they are provided with scaffolding to think critically about the root causes of poverty and injustice, as well as their professional responsibility to increase access to justice and improve the quality of our justice systems.

BERNARD FREAMON:

BOWMAN:

It’s also striking in the context of our location here in Rhode Island.

Bernard, you joined us last year to help lead our newest required course, Race and

I thought the decision the faculty took in response to the call for curricular change around race was a courageous response and I wanted to be a part of it. Some law schools offer a menu of courses to law students or they’ll offer a one-credit course, but very few law schools have taken judgment that there should be a mandatory three-credit course on the relationship between race and the law.

BOWMAN:

FREAMON: It’s very important from a historical point of view that the law school is located in Bristol, Rhode Island, a commercial center of the slave trade. And so, for this particular law school in this particular location, it is important that our students understand how this legacy impacts us today.

BOWMAN: I started here in summer 2020, right after the murder of George Floyd, and my very first meeting was with our Black Law Student Association, the student group that advocated for, among other things, establishing a required course on race and law. I know all law schools faced that same moment of national reckoning on matters of race, but RWU’s response went further than most. Suzy, could you share your perspective on our law school’s response and any changes you’ve seen?

In the years leading up to the summer of 2020, under then-Dean Michael Yelnosky’s leadership, the law school created a strategic plan for diversity and inclusion and changed its mission statement to make clear that the law school is committed to promoting social justice, to teaching about the relationship between law and social inequality, and to creating an inclusive community that welcomes and celebrates people from diverse backgrounds, especially those historically underrepresented in the legal profession.

RWU Law has had a strong commitment to racial justice and to recruiting and

building a diverse student body; but our curriculum neither reflected the diversity of our students, nor did it account for the long and complicated history of our legal systems and how these systems have legitimized and maintained racist laws, policies, and structures.

That shifted in June 2020 when our Black Law Student Association presented the administration and faculty with a list of demands, including a mandatory course on race and the law. The faculty unanimously voted to add a required three-credit course on this subject. With that vote, and your leadership, our law school initiated a monumental shift in educating and training anti-racist lawyers.

BOWMAN: I was there for that meeting. I hadn’t even started here yet and it was amazing seeing the RWU community step up in such a meaningful way.

How do you think our Race and the Foundations of American Law course prepares our graduates for their careers in all areas of the law?

HARRINGTON-STEPPEN: If we want our profession and our legal systems to be equitable, every lawyer, regardless of practice area, must be prepared to use their influence and power to improve our legal system and dismantle white supremacy.

Our graduates are tomorrow’s judges, law firm partners, general counsels, elected officials,

Hopefully, this will generate different approaches to client and witness interviews, relationships with judges – all the things that make the legal system work. in a new light. Hopefully, this will generate different approaches to client and witness interviews, relationships with judges – all the things that make the legal system work.

HARRINGTON-STEPPEN: Back in 2017 – before the race and law course – Professor Nicole Dyszlewski asked me a question one afternoon: “Why isn’t there a book to help faculty members incorporate critical perspectives on diversity and

equity into their teaching?” From there, the “Integrating Doctrine and Diversity” book series was born. I have been fortunate to co-edit the book series with Nicole and three other colleagues from other institutions. Our first book, geared toward the 1L curriculum, was published in the spring of 2021. Our second book, for faculty teaching upper-level classes, is due out any day. This was Nicole’s simple yet profound idea: let’s get teachers to share what they’re doing around DEI and build support for this work. With the launch of the course and the attention the first book received, Nicole launched a wildly popular speaker series that is now co-sponsored by CUNY Law, Jurist, GW Law, and Berkeley Law.

RWU Law is a place where we should be experimenting and making law school actually look and feel different. I want the law school to take this momentum and run.

—Harrington-Steppen

BOWMAN: In fact, 90% of US law schools have sent at least one person to Nicole’s

Integrating Doctrine & Diversity speaker series. As a result of this work, the American Association of Law Schools invited us to present a half-day seminar at their annual meeting in San Diego this year on integrating racial issues into both the classroom and the courtroom. And next spring, RWU will be hosting law school diversity and inclusion professionals from across the country for their annual conference. There really is something palpable going on here.

HARRINGTON-STEPPEN: While all of this attention is fantastic, we are still very much a work in progress. This work doesn’t end, nor is there a clear right or wrong way to do the work, but we are doing it.

BOWMAN: Which leads me to my final topic and the exciting next chapter of our social justice work. Bernard, this year you are leading the launch of our new Institute for Race and the Law and the fundraising to support the Institute and its work. How will it be both a catalyst for change and a place for change?

FREAMON: One of our goals with the Institute is to establish a Teaching Fellowship Program, where lawyers at the beginning of their careers come to Roger Williams and teach in our Race and the Foundations of American Law course and help us broaden our curricular offerings.

We hope that after their fellowships they join faculties elsewhere and focus their academic research, teaching, and practical work on issues of race and the law. The Institute will also encourage practical work that makes a difference in the community, while also offering programming that is relevant to both college students and secondary-school students. Engaging with other universities and secondary educational schools will make a difference in changing the society. A university is really not worth its salt if it doesn’t do things that help to bring about change in society.

BOWMAN: Let’s look forward to the next 30 years. How do you think we will evolve?

FREAMON: This is the only law school in Rhode Island and 30 years from now, I would still like that to be the case. I hope we will play a central role in how Rhode Island makes its legal policy judgments, because there is a lot of work to do in terms of social justice, and I hope that Roger Williams University would be at the center of that work.

HARRINGTON-STEPPEN: I hope when we look back, we see that the Foundations of Race and American Law class was a catalyst. RWU Law is a place where we should be experimenting and making law school actually look and feel different. I want the law school to take this momentum and run.

BOWMAN: That’s a great place to close and to thank you both. We all really appreciate what you do and the fact that you’re helping us lead the way.

THE INSTITUTE FOR RACE AND THE LAW AT RWU At Roger Williams University, we are leading a movement to reform legal education and justice systems. The Institute for Race and the Law, housed in the School of Law, will aim to modernize legal education and the legal system in order to increase access to justice for all. RWU Law will achieve this through teaching and research, scholarships, and programming around our priorities.

The Institute has three foundational pillars: LEGAL EDUCATION: Providing law students, law schools, and practicing lawyers with critically needed legal curriculum on race.

JUSTICE REFORM: Legal research and policy work to address

racial inequity in legislation and the administration of justice.

LEGAL SERVICES: Providing counsel and representation in the areas of law most significant to Rhode Island’s racial inequality such as housing discrimination, economic opportunity and access, and prisoners’ rights.

By 2027, the Institute aspires to: •

Train 500 lawyers and legal educators about systemic oppression in the law and contemporary manifestations of white supremacy in legal spaces.

•

Advise 50 U.S. law schools seeking to incorporate issues of race into their curriculum.

•

Engage 500 non-legal professionals in training, discussions, and partnership to address systemic racism and American law.

•

Lead justice reform in the Northeast through actionable research, advocacy, and policy.

SAILING LAUNCHES NEW FLEET O

n a late August afternoon, before classes or the first official practice of the fall semester began, the Sailing team huddled in anticipation on the RWU waterfront, preparing to launch the program’s new fleet of Flying Juniors (FJs) out into Mount Hope Bay. They climbed aboard the 13-foot race boats, rigged sails, dropped rudder and centerboard, then pushed off, cutting straight out to the center of the channel.

Tacking into the wind until nearly horizontal, or jibing to heel and accelerate past each other, they tested the new boats’ handling and performance. Carly Kiss, a co-captain and junior Marketing major with minors in Psychology and Business Analytics from Pewaukee, Wis., pulled up alongside a teammate and shouted: “How are you tacking? Do you feel anything different in these boats?”

“Yeah, I’m rolling and flattening more aggressively,” said Claire Buckley, a cocaptain and junior Accounting major with minors in Finance and Professional Writing, 27

from Bridgewater, Conn. Kiss nodded thanks and shot off to try it herself.

Through hard work and a tenacious competitiveness, the RWU Sailing program has become a sailing powerhouse.

The program has won a singlehanded championship in 2009, a team racing national championship in 2011, and recently finished as No. 2 at the Team Race National Championship in 2018, 2021, and 2022, with strong showings in fleet racing, competing against major programs like Yale, Harvard, and the U.S. Navy.

Support from alumni and families over the

years has buoyed the program, funding the construction of a world-class Sailing Center and improvements to the dock, enabling RWU to host U.S. Sailing national championships and connect the team and university with the international sailing world.

This year, the program got help replacing their aging boats. With a $200,000 gift from the Donald C. McGraw Foundation, and donations from the Matthews family, the Todd Rechler ’93 family, and Bruce Lebens and Hunt Lawrence, the Sailing program purchased a new fleet of 18 FJs and six 420s

that will allow them to remain competitive for years to come. Designed and built right in Bristol, R.I., Zim Sailing makes the top-ofthe-line collegiate racing boats used by the best national sailing programs.

“Thanks to these generous gifts from the McGraw Foundation and our alumni and families, the Sailing program has the equipment we need to continue to compete at the highest levels of college sailing,” said Head Coach Amanda Callahan.

“The new boats have been an excellent addition to our program. We’re able to have more productive practices, not having to stop

every time parts break down,” Buckley said.

“We can focus on honing our team racing skills and strong boat handling. We have really great potential to be the top college sailing team in the U.S. and we’re excited to continue working towards being the best.”

Last season they finished one race shy of placing on the podium at the Team Race Nationals, tying with Yale and Dartmouth for fourth place but ultimately losing the tiebreaker. This year, the team is increasing their fitness and strategy sessions, while cultivating a stronger team culture and communication, according to co-captain Hank Bailey, a senior

Computer Science major and Math minor from Chatham, Mass. Once again, they’re aiming for the podium.

“What I’ve always liked about the Roger Williams Sailing team is that we work really hard for it and Coach Callahan is the best there is,” said Bailey. “We have the talent and the drive to do well. We prepare and practice every day like it’s a regatta, and having that high level of intensity will hopefully make the difference at the end of the year.”

HOW TO

BUILD A BOAT WITH ZIM SAILING

Think of it as a pay-it-forward moment.

The McGraw Foundation, alumni and families chose to support our excellent Sailing program with the gift of new boats. In turn, Roger Williams University decided to invest those dollars into our local economy, selecting Zim Sailing in Bristol, R.I., to construct a whole fleet of collegiate sailboats. Of course, when you have a world-class boat-building industry in your backyard, why would you turn anywhere else?

Bob Adam, Director of Institutional Sales at Zim Sailing, Bristol, R.I., shares the key moments in the process of building their celebrated Collegiate FJ. 29

STEP 1 HULL AND DECK TAKE SHAPE

Utilizing an open-molding technique, the team applies a wax so the raw materials can take shape inside but won’t adhere to the mold. A worker then sprays on the gel coat, the first layer of the hull and deck, checking with a gauge to see how evenly the application turned out. After a minimum of four hours to cure, the next painstaking step is to layer on resin-soaked fiberglass cloth strips, pre-cut and laid in precisely designed patterns that are exactly the same for each boat. Both the gel coat and fiberglass cloths are weighed ahead of time to ensure the same weight of materials are used across a boat class. The reason? “We want the boats to ultimately weigh the same,” Adam says. “Across RWU’s 18 FJs, from the lightest to the heaviest boat, should not be more than an eight- to 10-pounds’ difference.”

STEP 2 ZIM SECRET

Along with the fiberglass layers adding strength to the deck, the team then applies a series of fiberglass structural supports – laid out in a proprietary manner – to promote hull rigidity and to prevent the deck from flexing while sailing through the water.

STEP 3 A BOND IS FORMED

When the hull and deck are ready to be joined, two workers lay the deck into the hull mold. The pieces are bonded together with a strong yet pliable adhesive, at the edges and floor of the boat. Then the hull and deck are compressed together with clamps and bars and allowed to harden overnight or about 24 hours.

STEP 4 THE BOND IS BROKEN

Breaking open the molds is a bit like popping open a soda bottle, Adam says. An overhead crane attaches to the deck at multiple points, then the workers insert wooden wedges between the molds and unfasten the clamps, as the crane cranks and lifts the boat from the mold. The boat is placed on a dolly and ushered into the trimming and finishing area, where any patching, sanding and buffing of imperfections are tended to.

STEP 5 RAISING THE MAST

The Zim team drills a precise line through the length of the mast extrusion, a one-piece aluminum mold purchased from a manufacturer in Connecticut, and assembles the hardware to attach the sails and boom.

STEP 6 FINAL FITTINGS

At the same time as the mast work, another team is attaching the rudder and tiller – machined locally and assembled by Zim – and fitting the hardware onto the deck and hull. With all the pieces in place, the Zim Collegiate FJ comes off the line ready to be shipped to its destination.

31

PERSONAL DELIVERY Adam tries to accompany as many deliveries as possible, because he gets so much joy from watching the college sailing teams assemble and test the new boats. When RWU’s boats arrived in the summer, he was there: “They are like kids in a candy store – the smiles on people’s faces when they see their new boats is just epic.”

Bob Adam, Director of Institutional Sales at Zim Sailing, Bristol, R.I.

EXPERIENCE MAKES A DIFFERENCE Inside their 40,000-square-foot facility on Broadcommon Road, Zim Sailing employs over 50 people. Their team of 12 boat-builders produce on average seven boats per week. “What sets us apart from other builders of these boats is that we do everything in house and we are entirely focused on building boats and the components that go with the boats,” Adam says. “We’ve got a tremendous team and everyone has a minimum of five years, and upwards of 30 years, of experience.”

Also at the October board meeting, alumni Heather Boujoulian ’97, Bill McKeon ’84, Todd Rechler ’93, and Tony Masone ’91, were appointed as the new board leadership team. Linn F. Freedman, Esq., a longtime RWU champion and a faculty member in the law school, was also elected to the leadership team.

“As a very active alum and a leader across global technology and software industries, Tim Yeaton will continue to bring excellent leadership and experience to the Board of Trustees,” President Ioannis N. Miaoulis says. “We are at an exciting inflection point in RWU’s history and I am thrilled to have so many alumni and accomplished professionals serving on and leading our board. Their personal ties inform our continued development of academic excellence, experiential learning and research, and student success as we build a world-class university in which we learn, live and work.”

Yeaton, a first-generation student from New Hampshire, received a Bachelor of Science, summa cum laude, in Management from RWU, and an MBA from Babson College.

At RWU, he was a member of the Honors Society, captain of the men’s soccer team, a resident advisor, and later was honored as Distinguished Alumnus of the Year in 2001. Over the next years, Yeaton looks forward to working with university leadership, faculty, staff and alumni to advance RWU’s Strategic Action Plan.

“The vision of RWU’s Strategic Plan is incredibly compelling and takes advantage of all the unique things that Roger Williams brings to the table,” Yeaton says. “The university has developed strong leadership roles that drive the blue economy and coastal resiliency for our region and beyond. It is forging an innovative role in real estate that harnesses the university’s strengths across architecture, preservation, regional and urban planning, business, construction management, and law. And it is going further with its work in the humanities, social sciences and history to give us a deeper sense of our place, our people and how our history has shaped us.”

Coast-to-Coast

By Grace Boland

With the highest attendance to date at this year’s Alumni & Reunion Weekend, Hawks caught up with old friends and met new ones while playing a round in the Ray Cordeiro Alumni Golf Classic, paddling kayaks out on the bay, or over a pint at the new Hawk Family BBQ Buffet and Beer Garden. Feeling FOMO yet?

This year, RWU’s alumni relations team has launched new initiatives and built on beloved traditions that resonate with our graduates and have seen them coming back to reconnect at their alma mater or at new events held around the country.

These efforts are being led by Assistant Vice President for Alumni Relations Kelly Scafariello ’99, who understands the importance of meaningful alumni engagement.

“Talking to fellow alumni takes me back to my own time on campus. Having this personal connection is key to bringing alumni back and strengthening the Roger Williams University community,” Scafariello said.

To help alumni plan their attendance to our annual reunion, Alumni & Reunion Weekend will now always be held on the weekend following Memorial Day – so set your calendars for May 31 to June 2, 2024. With many families welcomed to the

Torch and Crown Brew

ery, New York, NY

event this year, we will be adding more family-friendly activities and designating a residence hall wing for families choosing to stay on campus for the weekend.

The inaugural Hawks Take Flight tour kicked off in April and has become a new favorite among alumni.

Scafariello’s team has been hosting gatherings that bring the Roger Williams spirit to where our alumni are now, from New England to New York, and —KELLY SCAFARIELLO ’99 Washington, D.C. to California. For alumni who can’t make it back to campus or want to forge connections with other alums local to their area, it is a great opportunity to meet at local venues, share stories, and take home RWU swag. By the end of 2024, Scafariello said they are going to surpass 15 events, reaching even more alumni across the country.

The Alumni Spotlight Speaker Series was revived recently, highlighting the achievements and experiences of Roger Williams University alumni working in various fields. This is a four-part series during the 2023-2024 academic year, with two each semester covering topics, such as Entrepreneurship, Construction Management, Architecture, and Law and Society. Alumni panels are created to inspire students and foster connections between alumni to alumni and alumni to current Hawks.

The best part of these events, according to Scafariello, is the kinship and sense of family that is felt among our alumni regardless of graduation years. At the Hawks Take Flight event in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, alumni from both 1970 and 2019 were discovering common ground and sharing similar memories of favorite spots and life on campus.

TALKING TO FELLOW ALUMNI TAKES ME BACK TO MY OWN TIME ON CAMPUS. HAVING THIS PERSONAL CONNECTION IS KEY TO BRINGING ALUMNI BACK AND STRENGTHENING THE ROGER WILLIAMS UNIVERSITY COMMUNITY.”

The Baileys, who were married for 66 years, knew the value of higher education, which is why they established the Franklin P. Bailey and Barbara N. Bailey Endowed Scholarship at Roger Williams University – to provide greater access to an excellent education for more students.

“I know through experience how difficult it is for someone who looks like Barbara and me to have career opportunities,” said 90-year-old Bailey, who still actively supports Roger Williams’s scholarship programs. “We want to give more students the same opportunity we had and inspire them.”

The Bailey Scholarship was endowed in 2017 by Franklin Bailey and his wife Barbara.

SERVICE THE FINDINGS

THE STUDENTS Aidan Bennett ’23 (Civil Engineering), Daniel Dejnak ’23 (Electrical Engineering), Cameron Dutra ’23 (Civil Engineering), and David Sales ’23 (Civil Engineering)

After conducting a structural assessment of the Lodge, the students concluded that the majority is currently up to code, but some areas require safety-related updates.

To address bowing on the first floor, they recommend reinforcing joists or adding column supports to prevent structural damage. To support the roof during inclement weather, the students suggest installing hurricane clips on the third-floor roof rafters. They also identified structural deficiencies in joists and columns in the basement, cracks on the interior wall surfaces, and signs of water damage on the third-floor ceiling. To make their assessment, they first created floor plans, took measurements, and used national standards to mathematically determine the current load for each of the four floors and the structural components’ capabilities.

THE BIG QUESTION Is the Newport Elks Lodge, a historic Victorian home on the corner of Pelham Street and Bellevue Avenue, structurally sound and able to support new types of uses, or are there areas of the building that need repairs?
