Salve Regina to hold first Lavender Graduation in honor of LGBTQ+ seniors
salvetoday Posted On May 3, 2022


Salve Regina is holding its first-ever Lavender Graduation in honor of its LGBTQ+ students in the Class of 2022. The graduation ceremony will be held on Friday, May 6, at 11 a.m. in Ochre Court. Following the ceremony, there will be a reception with refreshments. The dress code is formal for students and business attire for staff and faculty, and the Salve Regina community is invited to attend.

“A Lavender Graduation is a tradition that originated in my home state … at the University of Michigan,” explained Kathleen Joyce ’22, president of the Alliance, which is a student organization that creates a safe space for LGBTQ+ students on campus. “It is a moment for us to celebrate the queer community and allies specifically and congratulate on their success over the four years.”

The Alliance works closely with Salve Regina’s LGBTQ+ Center, which is new as of the 2021-22 academic year, and one of the focuses of the center is to provide a space where students can feel safe to go. The LGBTQ+ Center provides many resources in addition to hosting events where students can attend and meet other people who are also in the LGBTQ+ community.

The Lavender Graduation is a natural way to extend support to graduating LGBTQ+ seniors, according to Bailey Catizone ’23, a music major and treasurer of the Alliance. The Alliance members hope that Salve Regina will come support the LGBTQ+ seniors on Friday.

“Lavender Graduation is important because Salve prides itself on its critical concerns of mercy, and one of the critical concerns of mercy is nonviolence,” said Catizone. “One way that we can bring nonviolence and peace to Salve is by holding a celebration for a group of people that have historically been shunned …. There are so many people in this community who have been targets of violence, and it is important to show that Salve will never be one of those places.”

Senior Success: Nolan Lindenburg-Pennoyer is valedictorian for Class of 2022
salvetoday Posted On May 3, 2022


Nolan Lindenburg-Pennoyer ’22, a major in psychology with a minor in music, is the Class of 2022’s official valedictorian. Originally from Barrington, Rhode Island, Lindenburg-Pennoyer said that the honor of valedictorian was one that he worked hard to achieve during his four years here at Salve Regina.  

“I would like to say it came as a total surprise, but it really was my goal from my first day of classes at Salve,” Lindenburg-Pennoyer said. “I put in a lot of dedicated and determined work to get to this point. But more importantly, I am lucky to have been supported by those around me—friends, family, and Salve faculty—who have given me the opportunity to succeed.” 

As a psychology major, Lindenburg-Pennoyer has always been interested in learning about people and how they think, feel and act. While he came to Salve Regina as an undecided major, he quickly decided that psychology was a good fit.

“It is fascinating to me to get down to the deeper characteristics of what makes a person who they are, and so in that sense I have always been suited for psychology,” he said.

Lindenburg-Pennoyer has always been inspired by the guidance of Dr. Oyenike Balogun-Mwangi, assistant professor of psychology. He believes that the cross-cultural outlook has taught him a great deal about the world and the many people living in it, and that Dr. Balogun-Mwangi is an expert at leading a discussion in the classroom. 

“I truly get the sense that she believes in me and everything I want to do with a career in psychology,” said Lindenburg-Pennoyer. “The best feeling you can have in academia is to work with someone who understands your outlook and has the same deep passion and curiosity that you do, and I get that feeling every time I speak with Dr. Balogun-Mwangi.” 

As a music minor, Peter Davis, senior lecturer in the music program, has always been an inspiration and a role model to Lindenburg-Pennoyer.

“He was one of the first professors I met when I was considering coming to Salve, and he has influenced who I want to be as a future professor,” said Lindenburg-Pennoyer. “In conversations with him, we were never afraid to dive deeper and to really discuss the meaning of what we were learning.”

As Lindenburg-Pennoyer leaves campus, one of the greatest lessons that he has taken away from Salve Regina is the importance of having an internal compass and being in touch with one’s own values — which he believes was emphasized through Salve Regina’s Mercy Mission.

“Whether or not you derive it from religion, having an understanding of purpose is important to everyone,” he concluded. “We should all strive to understand our own mission statement, whatever it may be.”

Mercy Mondays: Chaplain’s Corner – Fr. Raymond Malm’s thoughts on spring and hope
salvetoday Posted On May 2, 2022


Having just celebrated the great feast of Easter in the midst of the new life that spring brings, I want to share my thoughts and beliefs.

We can focus on the beauty of life, all the gifts that that life gives, but at the same time we know that all is not well. It is easy to become heavily saddened by the war in Ukraine, the uptick in violence in our country, and the disrespect of people about their beliefs, religion or customs. Looking at all of these problems is certainly discouraging.

Fr. Raymond Malm

Where does the solution lie?

I go back to Holy Week and Easter. At the Last Supper, Jesus washed the disciples’ feet, then turned and said, “If I, your Teacher and Lord, wash your feet, you must wash one another’s feet.”

There it is—it falls right in our lap. The solution is looking forward with hope in our service of one another and a total disrespect for violence.

Another principal of hope is that “the Universe is on the side of Justice.” All of God’s creation yearns and leans toward justice; it is in the very core of our being.

This gives me hope, it moves me to look at the world in a different light. All of creation, all of my being leans toward justice.

Let’s go back to the first line of my reflection—the great feast of Easter. Easter is the feast that conquers death; it brings life, resurrection, and power into our lives. The Holy Spirit gives us that power over evil to lean toward and to bring about justice.

It comes about by realizing the power of the Spirit in us, lived out in service of one another.

Offered by Fr. Raymond Malm, chaplain at the Mercy Center for Spiritual Life

Mercy Mondays: Earth Champion Awards announced on Earth Day
salvetoday Posted On April 25, 2022


As part of the Earth Day 2022 celebration on Friday, April 22, the Office of Mission Integration awarded ten Salve Regina staff, faculty and students with Earth Champion Awards, as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award. Each recipient received a beautiful cedar bird house handmade by Michael Oliveira, a carpenter in facilities at Salve Regina.

“I was proud to present these awards to folks within the community who are thinking of the earth and its sustainability all year long,” said Mary Beth Pelletier, program manager for the Office of Mission Integration. “These are faculty, staff and students who are extraordinary and never falter. Some may not even realize the enormous impact that their actions and the way they live their lives and do their work makes on the earth.”

Florencia Reiche Blanco (middle).

Florencia Reiche Blanco ’23, Salve Regina’s delegate to the global climate change conference COP26, was awarded for promoting solidarity with special attention to the vulnerable groups such as indigenous communities. Salve Regina’s two other COP26 delegates — Cassidy Curry ’23 and Dr. Jameson Chace, professor in the Department of Biology and Biomedical Sciences — were also awarded for their advancement of climate action at Salve Regina.

Dr. Craig Condella (middle) and his children. 

Jared Coleman, assistant director of facilities, and Dr. Craig Condella, professor of philosophy, are sustainability committee co-chairs. They were awarded for their leadership in furthering sustainable practices on campus and offering academic coursework in environmental ethics.

Coleman doesn’t let the constraints of working on an historical campus with local restrictions discourage him, and Dr. Condella’s ENV-334: Environmental Justice course teaches students that all people — regardless of race, class, gender, ethnicity and economic capacity — have a right to a clean and safe environment and access to adequate natural resources.

Michael Chester, superintendent of grounds, and Michael Potter, assistant superintendent of grounds, were awarded for their dedication to Salve Regina ’s arboretum and to the Act on Climate Law, which calls all in Rhode Island to become NET ZERO in carbon emissions by 2050.

Samantha Parsons ’23 was recognized for her leadership in offering Salve Regina a Thrift Pop-Up during Earth Week 2022. This sustainable shop raised over $500 to sponsor local children for the YMCA Summer Camp and donated all unsold clothes and accessories to Rogers Closet at Rogers High School.

Dr. Paula Martasian, associate professor and chair of the Department of Psychology, and Joseph Goff  ’18, (M) ’22, assistant men’s rugby coach, were recognized for their connections to the Earth through meditations, which they offered together to start Earth Week last Monday. As a vegan, Dr. Martasian practices gratitude to the Earth regularly and inspires the community to consider how it can do its part to lower greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption.

The Office of Mission Integration also recognized Robert “Rusty” Granger, groundskeeper, with a Lifetime Achievement Award for his loyalty as a Salve Regina employee and for his dedication to the earth.

 

 

“You have to be made of some pretty tough stuff – like true grit – to work in the Grounds Department, let alone dedicate yourself, with a kind heart, a brave face, and compassion to the Mercy Mission, to the Earth, and to your community for nearly 50 years,” said Pelletier during the ceremony.

Rusty has worked through the Great Blizzard of ’78, over 30 tropical storms and hurricanes including Hurricane Gloria and Hurricane Bob in 1985, Irene in 2011, Sandy in 2021, and the Perfect Storm in 1991 and been a humble role model to over 100 different Grounds staff members. Rusty is a true gift to Salve Regina.

This presentation of these awards followed the conclusion of Salve Regina’s Clean-Up for Earth Day, which brought 50 staff, faculty, students and Sodexo EVS employees together to pick up over 220 pounds in trash, recycling and sticks across campus and the Cliff Walk.

The Office of Mission Integration is so grateful to all who participated in Earth Week 2022 events and looks forward to working as a community towards a more Sustainable Salve.

Salve Regina announces Newman Civic Fellow for 2022-23 academic year
salvetoday Posted On April 19, 2022


It is with great honor that Salve Regina is announcing Lindsey S. Smith ’24 as the 2022-23 College Compact Newman Civic Fellow. Chosen out of a group of 173 students from 38 states and Mexico, Smith will be given the opportunity to build upon her leadership skills and develop more ways to help the community at large.

The College Compact Newman Civic Fellowship recognizes and supports students who are committed to their community and who strive towards change and problem-solving at Campus Compact institutions.

As a sophomore at Salve Regina in the Pell Honors Program, Smith is working towards a double major in social work and Spanish. Dedicated to helping the community around her, Smith has been a service advocate at the Newport String Project, as well as the Martin Luther King Jr. Community Center.

“[At the Newport String Project], I dedicated 100 hours of service work before I left in January,” explained Smith. “I was able to teach students how to play instruments and assist the teachers there with anything they needed.”

Smith volunteered over 100 hours at Newport String Project. 

But Smith’s acts of service truly started her freshman year amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. As a freshman, Smith worked with Learning Unlimited, an organization set to create educational opportunities for students. Through Zoom, she was able to connect with individuals in the Newport community with learning disabilities.

“Although we were not allowed to meet in person, this organization worked hard to make the experience as close to in-person as possible through different games and activities each week,” Smith explained. “I formed a wonderful bond with my partner and looked forward to talking with her each week.”

Starting next semester, Smith will begin her junior placement for social work, giving her the chance to further explore and develop her work with the community and those in need.

Smith thanks Kelly Powers, director of the Center for Community Engagement and Service; Dr. Heather Pizzanello, assistant professor in the Department of Social Work and McAuley Scholar; and Dr. Mary Montminy-Danna, professor in the Department of Social Work. She is grateful for their support and guidance in teaching her how to make an impact on the community. She is also grateful to for Dr. Kelli J. Armstrong, president of Salve Regina, for electing her to this position.

“I am honored to be selected for this enriching experience and to have the ability to eventually meet and work with others who have been selected by their universities,” she said.

“Every living creature, has intrinsic value, in its existence, its life, its beauty and its interdependence with other creatures …. Teach us to discover the worth of each thing, to be filled with awe and contemplation, to recognize that we are profoundly united.”

Lecture to focus on America’s national myth making with New York Times best-selling author, historian
salvetoday Posted On April 13, 2022


The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy will host its last lecture for spring 2022 entitled “Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood” with New York Times best-selling author, historian and journalist Colin Woodard. It will be held on Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in the Bazarsky Lecture Hall in the O’Hare Academic Building, and the lecture is in partnership with the League of Women Voters, Newport County. To register for this event, go here.

The lecture will be based off Woodard’s latest book, also entitled “Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood.” In his book, Colin Woodard described the struggle to create a national myth for the United States, one that could hold its rival regional cultures together and forge an American nationhood.

On one hand, a small group of individuals —historians, political leaders and novelists — fashioned and promoted the idea of America as nation that had a God-given mission to lead humanity toward freedom, equality and self-government. But this emerging narrative was swiftly contested by another set of intellectuals and firebrands who argued that the United States was instead the homeland of the allegedly superior “Anglo-Saxon” race, upon whom divine and Darwinian favor shined.

Woodard tells the story of the genesis and epic confrontations between these two visions of our nation’s path and purpose through the lives of the key figures who created them, a cast of characters whose personal quirks and virtues, gifts and demons shaped the destiny of millions. It explains how the U.S. got here as a nation and offers the background essential to finding its way back to a better, more unified state.

Colin Woodard is a visiting senior fellow at Salve Regina’s Pell Center. He is a New York Times best-selling author, historian, and journalist who has reported from more than fifty countries and seven continents for The Christian Science Monitor, The San Francisco Chronicle and The Chronicle of Higher Education. He is State and National Affairs Writer at the Portland Press Herald, where he received a 2012 George Polk Award and was a finalist a 2016 Pulitzer Prize.

Woodard’s work has appeared in The New York Times, The Economist, Smithsonian, Politico, The Washington Post and dozens of other publications. He is the author of “American Nations,” “American Character,” “The Lobster Coast,” “The Republic of Pirates,” “Ocean’s End” and “Union: The Struggle to Forge the Story of United States Nationhood.” He is a graduate of Tufts University and the University of Chicago and a past Pew Fellow at Johns Hopkins University.

This lecture will be held on Thursday, April 21, at 7 p.m. in the Bazarsky Lecture Hall in the O’Hare Academic Building. To register, go here.
