VIDEO: Wishing You a Wildcat Holiday

As the entire Johnson & Wales University community heads into a much-welcomed holiday break, we’d like to give thanks for a successful year.

We asked Wildcat Willie and a choral supergroup made up of members of the JWU Players and the JWU Vocal Ensemble to set a festive mood with a special JWU version of “Winter Wonderland.”

Take it away, #JWUCats! (We think you totally knocked this one out of the park.)

See You in 2016, Wildcats!
Wishing everyone who is part of the JWU community — or thinking about becoming a Wildcat — a wonderful holiday season and a healthy, happy New Year. We can’t wait to see what 2016 holds!
