Welcome to the Wildcat Family!
At Johson & Wales University, we believe that student success is a shared journey – one that thrives when students, families, and our campus community work together. We are 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, we empower students 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.
We’re honored to walk alongside you and your student on this exciting path of discovery, growth, and achievement. You are invited to call us at 401-598-4853 or email with questions you may have, and encourage your student to reach out as well!
Forever JWU,
Dr. Melanie V. Tucker, NCC, LMHC
