Once a Seahawk, Always a Seahawk
The Office of Alumni, Parent and Family Programs works closely with these constituencies to increase participation in University activities, giving and support. From the early tradition of volunteer participation by alumni and parents, the office today engages hundreds of volunteers in service to the University through many avenues of programming, service and giving. The office supports the University mission, purpose, vision, values and strategic direction, and embodies the belief that alumni, parents and families are key components in the continued success of Salve Regina as a leading institution of higher education.

Reunion Weekend
We’re bringing Reunion Weekend to you this year!
June 4-6
While nothing would be better than seeing you all in person this summer, a virtual Reunion Weekend will be the safest alternative due to Rhode Island's coronavirus large group and travel guidelines. From the Reunion Weekend Awards ceremony and trivia nights to celebration kits and champagne toasts, we are looking forward to an exciting and unique party in your homes and ours to commemorate your reunion.
Alumni Spotlight: Kathleen Santamore '84
The most difficult part of the coronavirus pandemic for Kathleen has been beyond her healthcare worker job. It was the fear that she might cause her husband, children, or grandchildren to become ill. Kathleen drew from Salve’s Mission, “Salve’s Mission has always impacted my life. I live a life of service above self, and maintain a positive attitude living life with a compassionate, grateful and giving spirit.”
She could see her family was more frightened than she was, but she reassured them that being a nurse means taking care of others, no matter what. Kathleen’s family supported her, encouraged her and took precautions to keep themselves safe.
