Roger Williams University is one of three schools partnering with Frank Sesno’s Planet Forward program on PBS. Tonight we will be premiering the 13 short videos the RWU community produced specifically for this project. Those selected may be aired entirely or in part in its national PBS Planet Forward television debut on April 15. The videos will be posted on the Planet Forward site for the public to rate and the top rated will be selected for the national television debut next month.

A variety of topics will be covered in the 13RWU Planet Forward videos- (all of which have a local component to its story)

Here is a sampling that may be of interest:

• “Commuter Rail in New Bedford”
• “The Portsmouth Wind Turbine Delivery”
