Salve Regina’s overall ranking among the best institutions of higher education in the United States climbed five places in U.S. News & World Report’s 2020 Best Colleges survey, and the University was also hailed in categories for best undergraduate teaching, best value school, best college for veterans and top performer on social mobility.

In addition to being ranked 23rd overall (up from 28th last year) in the publication’s Regional Universities – North category, Salve Regina ranked 28th in best undergraduate teaching, climbed two spots to 11th in best colleges for veterans, ranked 31st as a best value school and ranked 114th in a new category, top performer on social mobility.

Salve Regina’s undergraduate degrees rank in the top 8 percent of colleges in the United States when it comes to long-term return on investment. According to a report by Georgetown University’s Center on Education and the Workforce, the University’s 40-year “net present value,” which estimates how future earnings are valued in the present, was determined to be $1.08 million. That places Salve Regina at No. 350 out of 4,500 institutions that were assessed.

Read the story | Posted on Sept. 6, 2019

Sodexo expanded its dining options on campus with the opening of a new cafe in McKillop Library, filling the void left by the closure of Global Cafe last spring. The cafe features everything students need to keep fueled while in the library, including Starbucks beverages and an assortment of freshly baked pastries and desserts.

“The new cafe provides a comfortable gathering space that is reminiscent of the coffeeshops found in Barnes & Noble,” said Mark Rodrigues, Sodexo’s general manager. “It offers extended hours and meal exchange options, ensuring that students don’t have to step away from studying to enjoy a snack or meal.”
