JWU Chancellor John Bowen, Providence campus President Mim Runey and Cranston Mayor Allan Fung will join Kevin Walton, Centennial House student president, on Tuesday, Sept. 3, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony. Student residents will provide tours after the ceremony.
According to the university, the new student-housing option is focused on self-governance and community service. Students will manage the house themselves and complete one major community-service project each term.
Students selected had a minimum grade-point average of 3.0 with no significant conduct issues. Leadership skills and community-service experience were also recommended.
