Paige Moreau’s ‘leadership, mentorship, and spirit touched the lives’

Moreau was an architecture student and member of the Class of 2026. She was a graduate of Lincoln High School. She was a resident assistant at Roger Williams, where she worked with “residents to build a community and keep everyone safe,” she said on her LinkedIn page.

She was also an orientation manager, helping to acquaint incoming freshmen with the school, and a member of “the Substance Free LLC for those students who would like to be completely away from alcohol and drugs,” she said on LinkedIn.

Moreau had an internship with Bisbano and Associates, an architectural firm with an office in Providence.

Roger Williams University said, “Her leadership, mentorship, and spirit touched the lives of many.”
