The 罗杰威廉姆斯 experience calls you to live and interact competently in communities beyond yourself and work together towards the common good.
罗杰威廉姆斯, 我们的名字, imagined and put in place the creation of a new colony of free-thinking individuals. But for the state of Rhode Islanders to survive, he knew they needed to work together for a 目的 greater than individuals. The earliest colonists not only learned from each other, but from the Narragansett Indians, including having the commitment to learn their languages, and to see the world from their different community perspective.
今天, a college experience must be more than 培训 and the 学习 of facts and figures and students must learn to interact with others with confidence and competence. From being a member of a classroom, 一个团队, 俱乐部或组织, 学生宿舍, 你的专业是什么, all the community experiences invite you to be part of something larger than yourself.
