Welcome to the Wildcat Family!
At Johnson & Wales University, we believe that student success is a shared journey — one that thrives when students, families and our campus community work together. We’re committed to helping your student not only meet, but exceed, their academic and personal goals.
Through dedicated resources, open communication and a supportive living-learning environment, students are empowered to explore their passions, successfully address challenges and hurdles, and grow into confident, capable individuals. Your encouragement, involvement and partnership play a vital role in this process.
You’re invited to call Student Affairs at 401-598-4853 or email with questions you may have, and encourage your student to reach out as well.
