ÐÓ°ÉÊÓƵ University is committed to creating a safe, healthy, and welcoming campus for students, faculty, staff, and the broader community. To that end, RWU partners with Vector LMS, Higher Education Student Edition to provide trainings that will help us all be informed on topics vital to achieving our goal. These trainings, in addition to being highly interactive and engaging, are based in research around the best practices for healthy communities. 

2024 Campus Prevention Network's Seal of Prevention awarded to RWU for excellence in safety, well-being, and community.

In 2024, RWU earned the for the fifth consecutive year. The CPN Seal of Prevention represents the highest standard for digital prevention programming and is a recognition which only 12% of colleges and universities nationwide have achieved. The CPN Seal of Prevention recognizes the caliber of our digital student programming in establishing shared values and community expectations related to safety, belonging, and well-being. 

As such, completion of some of these programs are required as part of your orientation experience. Ongoing wellness initiatives are also assigned during the course of your college career that not only communicate but actively demonstrate our institutional mission and commitment to preparing you for success on campus and beyond.
