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.

Growing the SALVEfund
Through the Salve Regina Celebration Gardens
This spring, Salve Regina will be planting new perennial gardens to brighten our campus, commemorate milestones and honor your loved ones. You can be a part of this special project when you make your gift to Salve Regina before June 30. All gifts of any amount will make a difference and will be recognized beside the Salve Celebration Garden of your choice. The SALVEfund is an important resource for scholarships, academics and campus life and provides the seeds needed to help the University continue to thrive.
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.
