Getting ready for the celebration of generosity on Giving Tuesday
Teryn O'Brien Posted On November 23, 2020


Everyone knows about Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. But Tuesday, Dec. 1, is Giving Tuesday, and people across the globe are joining together in acts of giving as part of a generous holiday tradition.

On Giving Tuesday, people everywhere – including retailers, charities, online organizations, community centers, individuals, families and more – come together with one common purpose: to help others and incentivize ways to give more, give smarter and celebrate the spirit of giving.

Salve Regina is proud to join in Giving Tuesday as a global day of generosity. This year, the University is grateful to the Providence Journal Charitable Legacy Fund for offering a $25,000 challenge gift if Salve Regina earns 250 more donors by Dec. 1.

The Office of Advancement encourages members of the University community to make their annual gift on this day. The Salve Regina community can be a part of the #HeartofSalve by making a gift to Salve Regina by Dec. 1 using this link.

Equestrian team lands milestone win on home turf in IHSA competition
Teryn O'Brien Posted On March 11, 2020


On Saturday, March 7, Salve Regina equestrian riders hosted an Intercollegiate Horse Shows Association (IHSA) event at Sandy Point Stables in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and captured first place overall among 12 schools. Three individuals also earned blue ribbons: Kenna Rooney ’21, Lindsay Wright ’22 and Saarah Papineau ’23.

In the 2017-18 academic year, the equestrian team went from a club to an official varsity sport once more, and they have been building up to this new milestone win ever since then, according to Kenna Rooney, captain of the equestrian team. The win on Saturday is a reflection of the hard work and dedication that the team has put in over the past few years.

“Saturday was like a star-struck moment,” Rooney said. “Everybody always says that the home show, when you’re hosting on home turf, you win. But it’s a lot different than just something … where there’s two teams. We compete against 11 other schools a week, so there’s 12 total.”

Eruzione a semifinalist for Joe Concannon award
Teryn O'Brien Posted On February 10, 2020


Gridiron Club of Greater Boston president Cheryl Duddy Schoenfeld announced on Feb. 7 that 30 players are semifinalists for the 20th Joe Concannon Award, presented annually to the best American-born NCAA Division II/III college hockey player in New England. Among these is Salve Regina’s men’s ice hockey forward Danny Eruzione ’21. Eruzione, a junior captain, currently leads the Seahawks in scoring (4 goals, 15 assists, 15 points).

The Joe Concannon Award was established in 2001 shortly after the passing of the longtime writer for The Boston Globe, who had a great passion for the game of college hockey while always advocating strongly for amateur athletics.

Twenty-one teams are represented in this year’s list of candidates — including eight players from the Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC), six from the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC), six from the New England Hockey Conference (NEHC), two from the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC), and six from the Northeast-10 Conference (NE-10). Two nominees come from independent Anna Maria College; they are the first nominations for the school in just its second season as an NCAA D-III program.

The list of nominees includes 16 skilled forwards, eight versatile defensemen and six superb goaltenders. The full release of nominees from the Gridiron Club can be found here.
