Charlotte Campus PresidentSpring 2008 Letter to the parents (621K PDF)

Charlotte is an ideal community for our students, faculty and staff to live, work, learn and play!

We at Johnson & Wales take pride in preparing students for success. This is something we have done from the very first day our institution opened in 1914. Our third year enrollment is approximately 2,570 full time students. We enrolled students from nine foreign countries including Panama, Greece and Vietnam.

Our graduates are ready for the workforce because of our uncommon approach of integrating professional skills, leadership training, and career-focused education.

We are grateful to the Charlotte community for extending such a warm welcome and will do our very best to match that warmth as we welcome you to the JWU family. Our goal is to ensure that you embrace this sense of community with us and begin life as JWU students with a community-centered perspective; one that we hope will continue to grow well beyond your years at JWU.

Johnson & Wales is a place where ideas matter. If you are serious about your education and have begun to focus on a career, then JWU is the place for you.

Arthur J. Gallagher
Charlotte Campus President
