Prospective students and their families will listen to a general presentation, followed by faculty presentations at Xavier Academic Complex and the John Hazen White Center. A tour of the Downcity Campus will be provided and conclude with department information booths at the Pepsi Forum. Parking and tour information will be provided at the Johnson parking lot on Pine Street.

The College of Culinary Arts open house will take place at the Harborside Campus, 265 Harborside Blvd., Providence. Prospective students and their families should register at the Recreation Center. Participants will listen to an admissions and faculty presentation followed by a campus tour and culinary demonstrations. The program will conclude with a visit to department information booths in Delaney Gymnasium.

Open houses at both locations will begin at 11 a.m. Registration begins at 10. Program length is about three hours.

Students in the School of Law at Roger Williams University who have completed two years of their legal education may compete for summer internships at a major law firm in Lisbon, Portugal. The new internship at the 60-year-old firm is the first of several internships the school hopes to establish with prominent Lisbon law firms, according to Prof. David A. Rice, director of the law school’s Portuguese-American Comparative Law Center.

Students will be selected on the basis of their academic record, their interest in international law practice and other factors. A commitment to learning basic Portuguese language skills is required. Successful applicants will receive stipends for transportation and an additional amount for lodging and other expenses for living in Lisbon.
