RWU Class of 2026 Senior and Family Gift

Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

We are building upon the Roger Williams tradition of a senior class gift. Seniors and their families together raise funds to leave a legacy for themselves and their class at their soon-to-be alma mater.

Gifts can be made to the area of RWU that means most to you - whether that be supporting financial aid and scholarships that you were a recipient of, the athletics department as a student-athlete, or the alumni association fund as you enter the nearly 40,000 Hawk strong community of RWU Alumni, your gift helps toward the collective goal.

All student donors will be invited to a champagne toast at the President's home in advance of the senior class reception on May 12.

Families can honor their student's legacy and give a special shout out in the Hawks Herald Commencement edition with an advertisement space for $2,500 (half page ad), $1,000 (quarter page ad), or $500 (eighth page ad).

Student donors of $20.26 will receive the tassels and a limited-edition RWU Alumni pint glass.

Student donors of $5 or more will receive a commemorative navy and baby blue tassel with a 2026 charm to wear with their regalia for commencement.

If the class is able to achieve the collective $25,000 goal, two Adirondack chairs on campus will be named in the class's honor and marked with a commemorative plaque. The class will have a physical spot on campus to come back, sit with a friend, and think of the legacy you and your classmates have left on this campus. Gifts of any size help support RWU students. Please consider making a gift today.
