Salve Regina will celebrate International Education Week Oct. 26-30. A joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education, International Education Week is an opportunity to celebrate the benefits of international education and exchange worldwide.

Although International Education Week is typically recognized in November, Salve Regina’s celebration has been moved to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the United Nations. “We’re focusing on the UN this year and bringing in three guest speakers from the UN for International Education Week,” said Grace Cleary, study abroad advisor/international programs coordinator.

Friday Night Live: Day of the Dead dance

This annual Halloween dance will feature music, food, decorations and contests for best group costume, most creative costume and best Day of the Dead-themed costume. Organized by the Campus Activities Board in partnership with WSRU, the Global Citizens Club and the Study Abroad Student Association.

The Department of Music, Theatre and Dance will present John Patrick Shanley’s thought-provoking play “Doubt: A Parable” this weekend at the Casino Theatre. Directed by associate professor Reggie Phoenix, performances will be given at 8 p.m. Oct. 22-24 and 2 p.m. Oct. 24-25.

In “Doubt,” Sister Aloysius, a Bronx school principal, takes matters into her own hands when she suspects the young Father Flynn of improper relations with one of the male students.

• Watch the video about Salve Regina’s production of “Doubt.”

“I decided to do ‘Doubt’ because it’s such a timely story that addresses an issue that has been going on for decades, and there’s still no end in sight to it,” Phoenix said. “I think it’s important that college students know about this story … It’s important that we continue to tell this story, and it’s crucial that the story doesn’t die until this greater issue is resolved.”

The cast includes Alexandra D’Agostino ’17 as Sister Aloysius Beauvier, Hunter Nicholson ’16 as Father Brendan Flynn, Sofia Talbot ’17 as Sister James and Racquel Jean-Louis ’17 as Mrs. Muller.

Tickets are $15 for general admission, $10 for seniors and military and $8 for Salve Regina students, faculty and staff. For ticket information or reservations, contact the box office at (401) 341-2250 or www.tinyurl.com/salvecasino.

Salve Regina’s Feinstein Enriching America Program was recently named the volunteer of the year by Child & Family, the largest and most comprehensive social service provider in Newport County.

Administered by the Office of Community Service since 1998, the Feinstein program brings students closer to the community through service and giving. Through the program, all Salve Regina students complete a minimum of 10 hours of service on Aquidneck Island throughout their four years at the University.

Many students complete their service requirements at Child & Family, which has partnered with Salve Regina for more than 15 years. Some students also commit to long-term service with the organization, volunteering anywhere from 100 to 300 hours per academic year.

Volunteering with Child & Family allows students to connect service with a further exploration of academic disciplines such as business, social work, marketing and early childhood education. In addition, volunteer efforts have led to internships and employment and inspired some students to change career paths.

“Child & Family has given many Salve students the tools they need to be successful in the world of work,” said Kelly Powers, director of community service. “Whether it’s serving in the group homes, with the elders, marketing department or the children in Sandpipers, our Salve students have gained a variety of skills that they can use to enhance their skills needed for their future careers.”

In addition to volunteering at Child & Family locations throughout Newport County, students have organized several on-campus events benefiting the organization, such as the Thanksgiving food drive, the Angel Tree holiday gifting program and the Groovy Girls prom dress giveaway.

The Dorrance H. Hamilton Gallery will host a reception and artist talk for Susan Mullally’s “What I Keep,” which has been on display in the gallery since Oct. 1. The reception will be held from 5-8 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 22, with Mullally’s artist talk at 6 p.m.

A photographic portrait of survival told through the personal items that individuals cherish most, “What I Keep” is a collaborative project that addresses ideas of class, race, value, ownership and cultural identification.

It consists of life-size images with brief personal statements by and about each person’s choice. The Hamilton Gallery exhibition contains nearly two dozen prints, all 42×28 inches.

“What I Keep” will be on display in the gallery through Wednesday, Nov. 4. The exhibit is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays and Fridays and noon to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. The gallery is closed on Mondays.
