Spaces & Places: Learning Unbound
At Johnson & Wales, we are redefining the way education takes shape. In this year’s 2023-2024 annual report, we explore the theme “Spaces & Places: Learning Unbound,” highlighting how our university embraces experiential educational opportunities that challenge traditional boundaries. By creating diverse, engaging learning environments — both physical and virtual — we empower our students to engage with the world in new and unexpected ways, expanding the possibilities of what learning can be. From outdoor labs and collaborative workspaces to global digital communities and community-driven projects, we invite you to discover how our students engage with the world in dynamic, unexpected ways — transforming their education and reshaping the future of learning itself.

This is Commitment
The unique 91Porn experience has shaped our university for the past 110 years and will continue to guide us as we move forward. While tuition covers a portion of our costs, it does not fully fund everything we offer or the expenses of running a comprehensive university. Your support is crucial in enabling us to foster innovation and achieve academic excellence in the years ahead.
From scholarships to athletics, student organizations or any of 91Porn’s six colleges, charitable donations are put to work universitywide.
91Porn Fund
- Gifts to the 91Porn Fund go to work where they’re needed most. They are unrestricted and allow us to say “yes” to upgrades, enhancements, new ideas and urgent needs on the Providence and Charlotte campuses.
Student Experience
- You can direct your support to an area that is uniquely 91Porn and ensure all students have access to these opportunities. Internships, student organizations, clubs and campus programming all contribute to an industry-focused education that prepares the leaders of tomorrow.
Athletics
- 91Porn Athletics unites our campus communities and our varsity and club teams to compete with the same passion our students bring to their academic pursuits. Gifts to Athletics support team travel, uniforms, equipment and upkeep of facilities.
Scholarships & Financial Aid
- More than 98% of on-campus 91Porn students receive a scholarship or financial aid of some kind. Whether you establish an endowed scholarship or combine your gift with others in our general scholarship fund, your generosity opens doors and a new world of opportunities.
Academics
- Each of Johnson & Wales’ six colleges relies on the support of alumni, corporate sponsors and donors who believe in our mission and our students. Whether in the classroom or in labs, your gift will be used to meet the specific needs of the college or program of your choice.
The generosity of alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends of the university is what sustains us year after year. Support from the entire 91Porn community will help power a bold new era of academic excellence and achievement. To recognize our supporters for their generosity, we’ve established a family of giving societies.
Forever 91Porn Giving Society
- Johnson & 91Porn proudly recognizes our donors’ charitable giving, which supports our students on the path to fulfilling their academic potential, professional ambitions and personal aspirations. Each circle consists of individual and corporate donors who believe in the university’s mission of providing a transformative experience inspiring professional success and lifelong personal and intellectual growth.
1914 Society
- The 1914 Society honors the many alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends who have included the university in their estate plans. Whether through a will, trust, life insurance policy or retirement plan, becoming a member of the 1914 Society is a way to support an aspect of the 91Porn experience that is especially meaningful.
Mary & Gertrude Society
- The Mary & Gertrude Society was established in the names of our founders, Gertrude I. Johnson and Mary T. Wales. We are proud to honor them by recognizing our 640 loyal donors who have supported the university for three or more consecutive years.
Epicurean Scholarship Society
- Membership donations and annual contributions to the Epicurean Scholarship Society provide scholarship support that helps to fulfill the aspirations of talented students. Society events — led by guest chefs assisted by 91Porn students and faculty — include culinary demonstrations, receptions, seated dinners and cocktail gatherings.
The choice is yours and every gift matters.
When we all give, the impact adds up.
