Dartlet hosting reveal and training sessions
salvetoday Posted On April 3, 2017


Who is Salve Regina? Why does Salve Regina exist? These questions were explored in depth during the fall semester with the team from Dartlet, a leading reputation strategy firm. Now it’s time to find out what the research has revealed.

All members of the University community are encouraged to attend an upcoming reveal session to learn more about how University input, combined with market research, led to the development of a reputation management strategy for Salve Regina.

Students, faculty and staff are also invited to attend one of the training sessions to learn how they can employ elements of the strategy into their own work. The results of this project will be critical to unifying the communication and reputation of the University for years to come.

Please note that only those who attend a reveal session should register for training.

“Casting Call” seeking student stories for marketing initiatives
salvetoday Posted On April 3, 2017


Do you have a great Salve story? Do you want to be a part of telling Salve’s story in the University’s marketing efforts? As part of a new marketing initiative and partnership with Dartlet, the offices of Admissions and University Relations will host an open casting call from 1-6 p.m. Wednesday, April 5 in the DiStefano Lecture Hall.

Salve Regina is special because of the people who make up the University community, and their stories best represent “who Salve is” to the outsider looking in. The Great Salve Regina Casting Call is searching for students who want to get involved and share their likeness and story to support the University’s future marketing efforts. Faculty and alumni are also welcome to participate.

Interested participants are invited to sign up for 30-minute blocks, which will include a short interview, a photo session and a video screen test. Walk-ins are also welcome.

“We are looking for as many faces of Salve as we can find: any class year, faculty, alumni – anyone with a story to tell,” said Jamie McGuire, digital production manager. “We’re looking forward to seeing some of the familiar faces that we’ve featured over the past couple of years, but we are also hoping to get some new faces and new perspectives about what makes Salve so special. Whether it be a story of personal growth or academic success, job placement or community engagement, these stories are what truly reveal what we are all about here at Salve.”

Three faculty participating in screening, discussion of “1984”
salvetoday Posted On April 3, 2017


Three Salve Regina faculty members will participate in a film screening and discussion of Michael Radford’s “1984,” based on George Orwell’s dystopian novel of the same name. Radford will also participate via a taped video introduction and post-screening conversation about the film.

Hosted by the Jane Pickens Theater, located at 49 Touro St. in Newport, the screening and discussion will begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 4. Tickets are $10 and may be purchased in advance.

Following Radford’s presentation, Dr. Matthew Ramsey, associate professor in the Department of English and Communications, will moderate a discussion of the film by Dr. Dean de la Motte, professor in the Department of Modern and Classical Languages, and Dr. Craig Condella, associate professor in the Department of Philosophy.

“The relevance of ‘1984’ can’t be overstated,” Ramsey said. “When Trump spokesperson Kellyanne Conway appeared on ‘Meet the Press’ and defended the term “alternative facts,” within three days sales of Orwell’s novel spiked. Any time the American people encounter the specter of government overreach, surveillance, or the use of tangled bureaucratic language to mask truth, they turn to ‘1984’ as cautionary tale.”

“Philosophers, from Socrates to the present day, have been concerned with the discovery of truth and the freedom of thought that allows for such discovery,” Condella added. “In ‘1984,’ George Orwell presents us with a world in which free thought is severely compromised and in which truth becomes a relativized expression of power. Some 30 years after the posited date, we find ourselves facing challenges that are in some ways reminiscent of Orwell’s dystopia, yet in other ways importantly new.”

Art history specialist to discuss medieval church treasuries
salvetoday Posted On March 31, 2017


Catherine Fernandez, art history specialist at Princeton University, will present a public lecture, “Collecting and Context: Medieval Church Treasuries,” at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 4 in the DiStefano Lecture Hall.

Fernandez specializes in Western medieval art and architecture, with a particular focus on church treasuries, the afterlife of antique gems, Romanesque architectural sculpture, cross-cultural exchange in the medieval Mediterranean, and the function of ornament in medieval art.

Fernandez joined Princeton’s Index of Christian Art in 2013 after earning her Ph.D. at Emory University. She previously taught courses at Emory and Georgia State University, ranging from general surveys of Western and modern art to more focused classes and lectures dedicated to medieval art. She also worked for several years as a research services assistant at Emory’s Stuart A. Rose Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library.

She is currently completing a book manuscript, titled “Charlemagne’s Pectoral: The Medieval Afterlife of the Gemma Augustea at Saint-Sernin of Toulouse,” which traces the historical and cultural trajectory of the largest extant Augustan cameo from its creation in 1st-century Rome to its veneration as a Charlemagne object in Toulouse by the 13th century.

Women’s track and field names three captains
salvetoday Posted On March 30, 2017


Head coach Matt Hird has named Olivia Conway ’18, Megan Jenkins ’18 and Victoria Varone ’17 captains of the women’s track and field team for the 2017 season.

“These three exceptional student-athletes have been elected by their peers because of their talent, their athletic citizenship and their ability to inspire and support,” Hird said.

Conway has been a mainstay of the throwers during her first two years as a Seahawk. Specializing in the shot put and the javelin, she captured second place in both events in the 2016 conference championship as the Seahawks swept to victory.

“Jenkins was chosen by her teammates for her ability to lead by example,” Hird said. “Her constant improvement in the 400 meters inspires her fellow sprinters, who see in Meg how doing everything right and always maintaining a positive and supportive attitude can produce significant performance gains.”

Varone is one of only two active Seahawks who have broken 19:00 at 5,000 meters, and is a New England Division III qualifier at 10,000 meters. An accomplished cross country runner, she shares the Salve Regina program records for combined team time at 5,000 meters and 6,000 meters.
