Chiquita Baylor named director of student activities

Chiquita Baylor, who has been working in higher education for nearly a decade, will join the Salve Regina student affairs team as director of student activities, effective July 1.

“I am very excited to join the Salve Regina community,” Baylor said. “Working with students has become my life’s passion and I am looking forward to integrating my passion with student life at Salve Regina. It is my mission to continue to empower Salve students to be visionary, culturally competent and responsible members our community. I hope to discover and implement new and innovative ways to engage students by providing educational and social co-curricular opportunities that will enhance the student experience on campus. I am looking forward to the great things that we will accomplish as a team.”
