lindsey Posted On April 18, 2019


A campus talk on “Environmental Justice as a Work of Mercy,” presented by Colleen Swain ’16, ’17 (M), will headline several special events planned on campus as part of the Salve Regina community’s celebration of Earth Week.

Swain is leadership development and advocacy associate for the Mercy International Association’s Mercy Global Action project who recently participated in the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Poland. Her presentation at Salve on Wednesday, April 24 from 6-7 p.m. in the Mercy Center for Spiritual Life, will focus on transforming global systems of oppression with justice, active compassion and global solidarity.

During her visit to Salve, Swain will also host a luncheon dialogue for faculty and staff from noon to 1 p.m. on Thursday, April 25, where she will speak on the topic of “Call of Mercy and Care for the Earth.”

In Bolivia, Tian Quinn is creating bilingual children’s book on climate change
lindsey Posted On April 18, 2019


Tian Quinn ’21, who is double majoring in global studies and Spanish, and minoring in English, communications and media, is creating a bilingual children’s book about climate change as part of her study abroad program in Bolivia. Quinn is working with Kids Books Bolivia to research and write her book, which will be made available to children for free or at reduced cost.

As part of her independent research project about climate change, Quinn is volunteering at a bee farm that produces organic products and emphasizes the idea of sustainable living versus exploiting natural resources.

“I hope to understand how climate change and human action are changing the relationship of bees in nature,” Quinn explains.  “Afterwards, I will be turning my research into a children’s book, working closely with Kids’ Books Bolivia where I will be writing in both English and Spanish as well as drawing the illustrations myself.”

Pre-orders for Quinn’s book at $10 each are being accepted at the GoFundMe page she set up to support the program, which helps underwrite the cost for Bolivian children.

Food Insecurity Student Survey
lindsey Posted On April 15, 2019


In an effort to create and implement programs and resources that support all of our students, the Dean of Students Office is conducting research on food insecurities. What is food insecurity? Food insecurity is when a person does not have the ability and/or money to regularly purchase food.

A 2015 study by the Urban Institute found that roughly 11% of students attending four year colleges face food insecurity at some point. Lack of food can impact a student’s success in college, with studies finding that students who experience food insecurity can often have lower attendance in classes, lower performance in class, and are more likely to withdraw from a course or university.

Please take a minute to complete the short survey. The survey is voluntary, and is completely anonymous. Information gained from this survey will be utilized in planning and creating a Swipe it Forward meal donation program.

lindsey Posted On October 11, 2012


Dr. Jane Gerety, RSM, Salve Regina president, has been elected to the Mercyhurst University board of trustees, effective Feb. 23, 2013. Sister Jane was elected to a four-year term during the trustees’ fall meeting Sept. 29.

Sister Jane is a member of the South Central Community of Sisters of Mercy of the Americas. In addition to serving as Salve Regina’s president, she is vice chair of the President’s Council of the Conference for Mercy Higher Education in Silver Spring, Md., and serves on several not-for-profit boards.

She will be the first university president to serve as a term trustee on the Mercyhurst board and will be the first Sister of Mercy from outside of the New York, Pennsylvania, Pacific West Community on the board.

Originally from White Plains, N.Y., Sister Jane had been affiliated for 17 years with Saint Joseph’s Heath System in Atlanta, where she was senior vice president and later sponsorship and compliance officer. Prior to that, she was the academic dean at Carlow College, now Carlow University in Pittsburgh, where she was also director of its public leadership program and special baccalaureate program for poor women in the Pittsburgh Hill District.

Sister Jane holds an undergraduate and master’s degree in French and a doctorate in English from the University of Michigan. She is a frequent guest speaker and author on the mission of Catholic health care, governance, compliance and health care reform.

Mercyhurst University, founded in 1926 by the Sisters of Mercy, is a fully accredited, four-year, Catholic comprehensive institution in Erie, Pa.

Deadline to apply for study abroad in Paris approaching
lindsey Posted On October 10, 2012


The Office of International Programs is reminding students that Monday, Oct. 15 is the deadline to apply for the January 2013 short-term study abroad program in Paris. Open to undergraduates from all majors, “Special Topics: Literary Paris” runs from Jan. 3-13.

The literary works that will be covered in the course (whether they are read in French or in English translation) will allow the students to come to know and appreciate some of the greatest works in both French and world literature. Students who are able to read the texts in the original French will also benefit from that experience due to the exposure it will give them to new vocabulary, structure and grammar, and stylistic techniques used by each of the authors.

Reading and studying these works in an environment that allows the students to visit sights that are closely related to the authors and/or works themselves will provide a dimension to their understanding that is impossible to recreate in any classroom setting. Where applicable, the course will count toward the six-credit language requirement.

Theatre arts program presents “Some Girl(s)” Oct. 11-14
lindsey Posted On October 9, 2012


Salve Regina’s theatre arts program will open its 2012-2013 production season with Neil Labute’s “Some Girl(s),” which tells the story of a man who decides to reconnect with a handful of ex-girlfriends before he gets married.

The play will be presented at the Casino Theatre at 8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 11 through Saturday, Oct. 13 and at 3 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 14. Tickets are $5 for Salve Regina students, faculty and staff, $8 for senior citizens, non-Salve Regina students and military, and $10 for adults.

Tickets may be purchased online at www.tinyurl.com/salvecasino or by calling (401) 341-2250.

Directed by associate professor Suzanne Delle, who will also perform the role of Lindsay, the play will feature Katherine Witschen ’14 as Sam, Helen Stamas ’14 as Tyler, Zoe Seavey ’14 as Bobbi, Brigid Sawyer ’16 as Reggie and Jonathan Olivera ’11 in the lead role as Guy.

With marriage on the horizon, Guy decides the time is right to revisit his most significant girlfriends from the past. He travels across the country to do so, and the play is set in a series of hotel rooms in the different cities where these reunions take place.

In Labute fashion, Guy’s odyssey traverses a line between genuine attempts at reconciliation and manipulation of women’s emotions, proving that men behaving badly, even with the most innocent of intentions, can cause irreparable damage. In the process, Guy presents both an outrageously funny and deadly serious journey through the heart of darkness that is himself.
