Student Activities
The Student Senate, working closely with the University
administration, oversees student clubs and activities; voices
student concerns; and allocates funds generated from the
student activity fee. An abundance of exciting and diverse
co-curricular activities is available at Roger Williams
University. Social, cultural, and recreational activities abound,
both on and off campus. Choices include trips, special events,
films, membership in clubs, staffing publications, live comedy
performances, and concerts. Students also participate in
a variety of clubs, organizations, and departmental honor
societies. Some are career-oriented; others offer the chance
to explore common interests. The clubs sponsor seminars,
lectures, dinner meetings, and field trips, as well as numerous
fundraising activities.
Many campus entertainment programs are organized,
promoted, and produced by students active in the Campus
Entertainment Network, a standing committee of the Student
Senate. The Network sponsors all entertainment programs.
The University Lecture Series brings world-class speakers to
the Bristol campus. In addition, the Alive! Arts Series annually
brings world-renowned performers, musicians, and writers to
the University’s Performing Arts Center, an intimate, 200-seat
venue housed in a restored 19th-century barn.
