At University Communications (UCOMM), our job is to tell RWU’s story every day with impact. We are responsible for enhancing RWU’s reputation and identity to help the university achieve its goals. We set the course for how RWU presents itself to the public - everything we do is about RWU. Please see our Media Advisory for recent updates.
