Mercy Mondays: Join the upcoming Florida Service Immersion from April 29-May 4
salvetoday Posted On March 14, 2022


The Center for Community Engagement and Service is excited to welcome back the Florida Service Immersion, which will be held from April 29-May 4 in Florida. Applications will close online on Friday, March 18, at noon. To apply, go here.

During this service immersion, student participants have opportunity to volunteer at two organizations: Give Kids the World Village and Sunshine Foundation.

Give Kids the World Village

Give Kids the World Village‘s mission is to provide the vacation of a lifetime to children with life-threatening illnesses. Since 1986, more than 150,000 children have had their dreams come true at the village. Located in Orlando, Florida, the village depends on volunteers to fill hundreds of shifts every day. Volunteering at the village means being part of an organization that is truly unique, helping kids and their families create priceless memories in a time when they need it most.

Sunshine Foundation

Sunshine Foundation answers the dreams of children ages 3-18 who have severe or profound physical, developmental or intellectual challenges, as well as victims of trauma from physical or sexual abuse. The families cannot fulfill their requests due to financial strain that the child’s illness may cause, so volunteers help to spread “sunshine” by helping the Sunshine Foundation fulfill kids’s dreams and create priceless memories for kids and families when they need it most.

Applications for the Florida Service Immersion will close online on Friday, March 18, at noon. To apply, go here.

For additional questions, contact the Center for Community Engagement and Service at community.services@salve.edu or 401-341-2440.

Salve Spotlights  / Student Life
Jillian Gaffga ’23, member of Sigma Phi Sigma and the Student Government Association
salvetoday Posted On March 10, 2022


Jillian Gaffga ’23 describes herself as “the well-rounded girl,” but all those who know her believe that this is an understatement.

Working towards a degree in accounting with a minor in business administration, Gaffga has her hands full. As a junior, she is also the treasurer of Sigma Phi Sigma and the Student Government Association (SGA), the vice president and social media manager of the Accounting and Finance Club, a peer mentor, a service advocate, and a vital member of the Newport Community Symphonic Band.

But this doesn’t even begin to cover all of the things she’s involved in.

Finding community in clubs

Gaffga’s involvement in school activities finds its foundation in high school. There, she was a three-sport athlete, a member of numerous extracurriculars, and a member of Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC). Wishing to leave sports behind after high school, Gaffga knew she would not have the “instant family” that teams provide, so she was determined to be present on campus and find her group of friends.

Like many when first starting college, Gaffga worried about finding a community of people who shared in her interests — but Gaffga did what she knew best and got involved with numerous clubs and organizations on campus.

“I wanted to make connections with people. I thought the best way to do that would be to join clubs,” Gaffga explained. “It’s something I’m grateful for. I knew the experiences I wanted to have relied on what I made of it starting early.”

Jillian Gaffga ’23, treasurer of the Student Government Association.

Gaffga knows the pressures of wanting to be involved while trying to stay on top of school work, and credits her success to her detailed planner. Having found the perfect balance, Gaffga’s experience with each club she enters has fostered new relationships and networks that prove beneficial for other clubs and facets in her life. She expressed that it’s also never too late to get involved or take a leadership position in an organization that feeds one’s passions.

“Just joining what was the most interesting really helped me. We have clubs that vary in demand and topic. You can join the Ping Pong Club or the Boardgame Club or … something like the Student Government Association,” Gaffga emphasized. “That’s the great thing about clubs: If you hate one, you’re bound to find one that fits for you.”

A passion for people

Gaffga has found great reward in being a member of Sigma Phi Sigma, the National Mercy Honor Society. As an honor society that devotes their time representing people in the community and upholding the mercy mission in their actions, Sigma Phi Sigma enabled Gaffga to explore her passion of helping others.

In the fall, Gaffga and other members of Sigma Phi Sigma were given the opportunity to collect necessities, such as toothbrushes and toothpaste, to be donated to the Thompson School. Gaffga also explained that at the same event the group was able to provide the students at Thompson School Halloween baskets with toys, glow sticks and candy.

Gaffga also devotes herself to aiding in the transition process for first year students entering college. As a peer mentor for two years, she has seen the impact that lending a hand, advice or support can do. She understands the multitude of changes that first years students go through from their time during orientation to the last class of their first semester.

“They’re like totally different people from the start of the semester to the end. So when they come to me and say they enjoyed being mentored, it is so rewarding,” Gaffga said. “I actually had one of my students say to me, ‘Just so you know, I’m applying to become a peer mentor because of you.’ I was so excited, and it was so gratifying. You really realize how much of an impact you make with moments like that.”

Preparing for the future

As a motivated and engaged member of the Student Government Association, Gaffga plans to run for president come her senior year. Gaffga emphasized her aspiration to provide comfort and safety to people on campus, and she has pinpointed her focus on gender-inclusive housing initiatives on campus for actions to be taken while she is a member.

Gaffga is also a member of the Accounting and Finance Club, giving her the tools and space to prepare for her career in accounting. After college, Gaffga plans to take the Certified Public Accountants (CPA) exam, which will allow her to gain more opportunities as an accountant.

With the skills gathered from her experience on and off the Salve Regina campus, Gaffga is considering traveling internationally or delving further into the field of forensic accounting in the future. It’s clear that wherever she finds herself in the future, she will be ready and willing to be involved and create community wherever she goes.

Second annual Salve Day of Giving is March 24
salvetoday Posted On March 9, 2022


One day, one Salve. Students, employees, alumni, parents and friends will unite for the second annual Salve Day of Giving on Thursday, March 24. Rooted in the Salve Regina mission of mercy and philanthropy, this new tradition encourages the University community to coalesce around a shared cause – celebrating and supporting every aspect of the student experience.

A Salve Regina education is multifaceted. It involves the intellectual, the emotional, the physical, the social and the spiritual. Salve Day of Giving celebrates that in its entirety. Whether a student’s passion lies in scholarship, wellness, athletics, the arts or inclusion, there is bound to be a way that Salve Regina speaks to their hearts.

Last year’s inaugural Salve Day of Giving exceeded all expectations, sparking a wave of generosity that directly impacted each and every one of us at Salve – from scholarships to the SALVEfund to the University’s 70+ student organizations.

“We are excited to build on last year’s success with the second annual Salve Day of Giving,” said Ashley Dwyer ’22, vice president of the Student Government Association. “Last year, the Salve Regina community came together for the students, and I can’t wait to experience that feeling of unity again. As someone who is an active participant in several student-run organizations, I have seen firsthand the difference a single gift can make.”

For a student organization like Pitches With Attitude, Salve Regina’s all-female a capella group, Salve Day of Giving has the potential to make dreams come true. After performing locally at many on- and off-campus events, Pitches With Attitude has their eye on the prize for the future – traveling to Orlando, Florida, to perform at Disney World.

This year’s goal is 725 individual donors and early gifts are being accepted through the Salve Day of Giving website, where donors can choose their favorite scholarship, team, student organization or academic initiative.

For questions, please contact Victoria Duclos, senior director of annual giving programs, at duclosv@salve.edu or (401)341-2345.

Mercy Mondays: Come write letters to local Ukrainian community
salvetoday Posted On March 7, 2022


We feel helpless and maybe even hopeless in the face of the war unfolding in Ukraine. I send my children safely off to school and think of neighborhoods torn apart and children thrust into the uncertainty of war.

What can I do? When I feel hopeless I am reminded of the wisdom of Dorothy Day who wrote, “No one has a right to sit down and feel hopeless. There is too much work to do.”

Dorothy Day also wrote, “An act of love, a voluntary taking on oneself of some of the pain of the world, increases the courage and love and hope of all.”

This is something I have come to believe. Maybe you believe it, too. This is very much what the Catholic observance of Lent offers others. A chance to pray, fast and give — not only for our own benefit, but for the good of the world.

Below are some ways to respond to what is happening in Ukraine. None of them will stop the destruction outright or make things instantly better, but all are acts of love. Consider increasing courage and love and hope in the world through one of these acts.

Thoughts provided by Amy Cady, assistant director at the Mercy Center for Spiritual Life

Write letters of support

Join in writing letters of support to the local Ukrainian community at the Ukrainian Catholic Church in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. Come by a table in Miley Hall on Tuesday, March 8 through Thursday, March 10, to write or leave a letter of support.

Pick up a blue and yellow ribbon of support

The Mercy Center for Spiritual Life, the Center for Community Engagement and Service and Sigma Phi Sigma will be offering blue and yellow ribbons. These ribbons will be at Miley Hall and O’Hare Academic Building on Monday, March 7, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; in Miley Hall on Tuesday, March 8, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.; and at Miley Hall and O’Hare Academic Building on Wednesday, March 9, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m.

A vigil for peace will held after spring break. More details to follow.

Learn more about the situation

To learn more about the rapidly-developing situation, the Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy is hosting a virtual roundtable discussion on Tuesday, March 8. Information can be found in a SALVEtoday article here.

Donate money

A SALVEtoday article was recently written on ways to donate to organizations that are helping Ukraine, and the Mercy Center for Spiritual Life would also like to include Catholic Relief Services as a way to donate money.

A prayer for Ukraine

Loving God,
We pray for the people of Ukraine,
for all those suffering or afraid,
that you will be close to them and protect them.

We pray for world leaders,
for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices.

We pray for the world
that in this moment of crisis,
we may reach out in solidarity
to our brothers and sisters in need.

May we walk in your ways
so that peace and justice
become a reality for the people of Ukraine
and for all the world.

Amen.

Prayer offered from Catholic Agency for Overseas Development.

Mercy Mission  / News
Nine organizations that are giving Ukraine aid
salvetoday Posted On March 4, 2022


True to its mercy heritage, the Salve Regina community has often come together to offer support and assistance to regions or countries facing unfathomable challenges. Like many University communities, Salve Regina has ties to Ukraine through student, faculty and staff relationships.

Below is a list of organizations helping Ukraine that members of the campus and the greater Newport community can support.

1. Article 26 Backpack

What it does: From the University of California, Davis, Article 26 Backpack is a free and confidential service that enables students, refugees and other displaced people to virtually store and share personal records essential to protecting them and reestablishing their lives. Users can upload and store documents in the password-protected, cloud-based service. The online tool is available in Dari/Farsi, English, Arabic, French and Spanish.

How to help: Use social media or other means to spread awareness of this service with friends and relatives in or fleeing Ukraine.

2. Polish Christian Ministries

What it does: Members of the Salve Regina community continue to serve with Polish Christian Ministries in Poland and Ukraine. They sponsor a Ukrainian kids camp each year and are currently using the camp to house refugees – most of whom are children. Currently they have over 130 campers and a few of their mothers at the camp.

How to help: Their website outlines ways to get involved, but as with most aid efforts at the moment, monetary donations are needed. The average cost to provide growing services needed to support those being housed is $20 per person a day.

3. Heritage Ukraine

What it does: Heritage Ukraine is an organization founded to serve foster and adoptive families in Ukraine. The founders, Alyona and Slavik Puzanov have stayed behind to serve their city of Odessa and surrounding villages. Their focus at the moment is helping evacuate children and foster families from Kyiv.

How to help: Their organization has ways to give toward food, transportation to safety or evacuation to borders, and other medical or physical needs through their website:

4. International Committee of the Red Cross

What it does: The Red Cross’ humanitarian work aims to help people rebuild their lives and cope with the wider consequences of conflict.

How to help: A monetary donation can help most at this time as services will be needed long-term.

5. UNICEF

What it does: UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children appeal helps provide conflict- and disaster-affected children with access to water, sanitation, nutrition, health and safety services. Catherine Russell, the organization’s executive director, said the original appeal for Ukraine sought to raise $15 million, but the new ask is $66.4 million to respond to the most recent crisis.

How to help: A donation will help UNICEF continue trucking safe water to conflict-affected areas and prepositioning health, hygiene and emergency education supplies as close as possible to communities near the front lines. Funding also supports UNICEF’s mobile teams.

6. International Rescue Committee

What it does: The organization responds to help restore health, safety, education, economic well-being and power to people devastated by conflict and disaster. The International Rescue Committee is in Poland assessing humanitarian needs.

How to help: A monetary donation will help the organization provide food, medical care and emergency supplies to refugee families from Ukraine.

7. Revived Soldiers Ukraine

What it does: This organization funds medication and medical supplies for field and army hospitals at the front lines of eastern Ukraine. Revived Soldiers Ukraine was founded in 2016 and has since brought 50 wounded Ukrainian soldiers to U.S. hospitals for care.

How to help: The organization’s president, Iryna Vashchuk Discipio, said they urgently need monetary donations to buy medication and to repair a car used to rush injured soldiers away from the front lines.

8. International Medical Corps

What it does: The Los Angeles-based organization provides emergency relief to those struck by conflict, disaster and disease. When an emergency has ended, the organization shifts its response to long-term medical support and training. The organization has been operating in eastern Ukraine since 2014, delivering primary healthcare and mental health services to communities affected by the ongoing conflict.

How to help: A monetary donation will help International Medical Corps as it prepares to deploy mobile medical teams to provide emergency and primary health services, mental health and psychosocial support.

9. Direct Relief

What it does: The Santa Barbara-based organization distributes donated medicine and medical supplies. Direct Relief has supplied Ukrainian healthcare providers with more than $27 million in medical aid. It recently sent a large shipment of diabetes supplies and is offering its Ukrainian partners IV fluids, antibiotics, medications for anesthesia, sutures, and cardiovascular medication, among other supplies.

How to help: A monetary donation will support Direct Relief’s efforts to send medical supplies to Ukrainian healthcare providers.

There are countless national and local aid organizations. The above are just a few that are known and have been researched. Additionally, privation foundations such as the Obama foundation have established links for ways to help.

Lucy Rose-Correia ’22 (M), graduate student in leadership dynamics and practice
salvetoday Posted On March 3, 2022


The path to success is almost never a straight line, but with a clear vision in mind, the finish line is not as unattainable as it may seem. Lucy Rose-Correia ’22 (M) is a current graduate student getting a master’s degree in leadership dynamics and practice at Salve Regina, but her life has been a journey in learning about leadership through early struggles, a career in human resources and Cape Verdean cultural preservation.

The importance of growth and second chances

Rose-Correia is a Rhode Island native who grew up in a tight-knit Cape Verdean community in East Providence. After high school, she went off to college, but the traditional path of higher education did not work for her.

“Out of high school I went off to college, and I failed miserably,” she admitted.

Rose-Correia decided to go in a different direction, so she traveled around the country and worked for many years in retail jobs that did not require a degree. While she was working at Nordstrom, she had a great mentor in human resources that asked her if she had ever considered a career in HR.

“I will always be grateful for that encounter that I had with the HR manager that opened up a door for me to step into my career in human resources,” Rose-Correia explained. “I found that when you have an impact on someone’s work experience, it’s pretty much an honor to be able to look at ways to improve the workplace, to really provide an employee with the support they need to succeed.”

Rose-Correia’s experience in retail inspired her to go back to college to receive a degree in business management at Lesley University in Boston, Massachusetts. She pursued her undergraduate degree at an accelerated degree program that worked well for her lifestyle as an adult learner working full time.

Growth and inspiration breeds success

After kick-starting a career in human resources and completing her goal of finishing her undergraduate degree, Rose-Correia built her career from the ground level. She received her Senior Professional Human Resources Certification (SPHR), and Rose-Correia likened it to the exam that Certified Public Accountants (CPAs) have to complete to receive their certifications.

This SPHR certification allowed Rose-Correia to pursue a diverse career path. She has been very fortunate to have a well-rounded experience in different industries with both profit and non-profit organizations. She is currently the founder and president of Esperanca Ja’ Hope Now!, which is a non-profit whose mission is to provide aid and resources to Cape Verdean children who are in need — especially the disabled — both locally and globally.

In the summer of 2021, her peers in the realm of Rhode Island business recognized her hard work with the Providence Business Award. She was recently hired as chief of talent for Children’s Friend, a respected child-serving nonprofit agency in Rhode Island.

“It is a humbling honor to be recognized by your peers in the business world as well as being a leader,” Rose-Correia explained. “Being a woman of color, I know that it is important that I lead by example for the next generation, and I know that it is a mantle that I have to carry. I have to be able to allow people to see themselves through the work that I do so that they can do it, too.”

Inspiration and leadership in cultural preservation

Rose-Correia’s parents made it a point for her to cherish her cultural identity as a Cape Verdean, and she really took that to heart. She not only tries to celebrate her culture with her own family, but she has become an active leader in the Cape Verdean cultural preservation efforts of the north east and Rhode Island.

During Rose Correia’s time away from Rhode Island while she traveled around the country, she began to realize her passion for educating people about Cape Verdean culture.

“I had the opportunity to travel around the United States, and wherever I was going people would always misidentify me as something I wasn’t — which always gave me the opportunity to introduce the Cape Verdean culture,” she said.

Rose-Correia explained that she has a lot of love and pride for her culture, and she began to become more active in the community after she stepped in for her dad at a local Cape Verdean center. From there, she became more active and influential. She has received awards which recognize her as a strong woman and leader in the community.

“I work with the Cape Verdean government, I have a dual passport, and I am a local contact for the Cabo Verde Consulate in Quincy Ma,” she said.

One major accomplishment for Rose-Correia in these efforts was the Cape Verdean Veterans Memorial Cemetery. She served as the project manager for this effort, and she explains that she had a vision that she could not ignore which served as her inspiration. Located in Exeter, Rhode Island, it is the only Cape Verdean memorial cemetery in the country.

Getting a master’s in in leadership dynamics and practice

Rose-Correia humbly and unselfishly accepts her success, and she is always thinkings about how her leadership will affect and inspire others. This type of self awareness is one of the core themes in Salve Regina’ master’s degree in leadership dynamics and practice. Rose-Correia started the graduate program in 2019, and she has been slowly working through it amidst her busy schedule with her career in human resources.

“I was very fortunate that the program was a school I was proud to be a part of,” she said. “The department head, Dr. Gordon, is just amazing. She takes such a special interest in each one of the students that want to be part of the program. She is just such a role model and a leader, and she is so inspirational that you can’t help but want to do well in the program, because you become one of her disciples.”

Rose-Correia explained that Salve Regina’s leadership master’s degree is very different from her business management degree, as it is more about big thinking and systemic change within leadership. Students learn about leading in all sorts of contexts, and they also learn about themselves and being in touch with what is important to them so they can lead from a truly authentic place. A lot of the philosophy and reflective material in the program has been an internal journey in addition to being an external process.

“It really changed my way of being in the world,” she said.

Rose-Correia has a vision board dedicated to her graduate degree that reminds her of her “why” that inspires her through all of the hard work. The vision board includes images of the program model and helps her imagine the day where she can stand in front of the gates of Ochre Court upon her graduation.

“I want a photograph right there in front of those gates with my cap and gown,” she said. “It’ll be like, ‘Wow, I did it.'”

With only a few more classes between Rose-Correia and her degree, she explained that the end is the hardest push. Rose Correia once ran the New York Marathon, and this point in her degree feels a lot like her mile 19 in that marathon.

“When you hit mile 19, it’s true you do hit a wall,” she said. “This is my mile 19, and I just have to remember what it is like to cross the finish line.”

An unpredictable path to success

Rose-Correia’s career experience is not the traditional trajectory of a business career, but her dedication and hard work has exemplified the importance of keeping a goal in mind. Even though the path to success and accomplishing goals may not be linear, Rose-Correia’s philosophies provide a positive outlook. Goals can be accomplished as long as someone can remember their “why” and keep a clear vision in mind.

“I will always be so grateful for the education I am receiving at Salve Regina,” she said.

Hamilton Gallery displays work from feminist artist Coral Woodbury
salvetoday Posted On March 2, 2022


The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery and the Department of Art and Art History are pleased to host “Coral Woodbury: The Question Is,” an exhibition of paintings and mixed media works that critically reinterpret Western artistic heritage from a feminist perspective. The exhibit runs through March 10.

Who knows what goes through an artist’s mind? Perhaps what matters more is what goes through a person’s mind when viewing art. The artist, after all, has left the room — but art speaks individually. “Coral Woodbury: The Question Is” is a playful invitation to dialogue with art in a way seldom encountered.

Coral Woodbury approaches this show as a teaching exhibition befitting a University setting. Organizing it around works from diverse series, studies and explorations, it’s a peek into artistic practice that usually remains behind studio doors. This body of work encompasses internationally exhibited projects as well as unresolved compositions and queries, what might be called “B sides.” Accompanying questions provoke engagement and discussion, as well as invoke a little mystery.

Woodbury has participated in numerous residencies, including in Italy with rosenclaire, with whom she has worked for nearly 30 years. In 2020, she was a finalist for the international Mother Art Prize, culminating in the Procreate Project Exhibition at Cromwell Place in London. Last year, in addition to two solo shows, she participated in “Call and Response” at Newport Art Museum.

In 2018, Woodbury took part in “Humanities Approaches to the Opioid Crisis” at Boston University; in the International Traveling Art exhibition at Taragaon Museum, Nepal; and in the #00Bienal de la Habana, Cuba. She is represented by Abigail Ogilvy in Boston and HackelBury Fine Art in London, where her show “Palimpsest” is currently on view and for which she gave a talk with renowned feminist art historian Griselda Pollock at the University of Cambridge’s New Hall Art Collection. All this while raising three children.

Located in the Antone Academic Center, the gallery is handicap accessible with parking along Lawrence and Leroy Avenues. Its exhibits are open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays; and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The gallery is closed on Mondays.
