Wildcat Relationships, Organization, Attention and Reflection Program (ROAR)

Hosted at JWU’s Providence Campus, Wildcat ROAR is a fee-based educational program designed to support students in developing executive functioning skills to strengthen their academic and personal success. The program includes

• one-on-one support throughout the academic year
• a myriad of groups facilitated in partnership with other on-campus departments to support academic and social needs

Program Structure

Wildcat ROAR is a full academic-year program operating during the fall and spring semester.

Throughout the fall and spring semester, ROAR participants benefit from bi-weekly individualized sessions with case management support from their ROAR learning specialist. In addition to one-on-one support, the ROAR cohort of students build their peer support network through participation in a variety of groups on topics, including study strategies to support enhanced executive functioning skills, mindfulness and anxiety management skills.

Wildcat ROAR focuses on supporting students who may have experienced challenges during their initial higher education experiences due to challenges in the areas of executive functioning and social cognition. Those with ADHD, generalized anxiety and/or specific learning disabilities may particularly benefit from the program. Previous higher education experience is required to participate in Wildcat ROAR.
