Senior Challenge
We challenge our seniors to make a gift to the University before graduation. As part of the Class of 2022, celebrate your final year by making a gift to the Salve Regina Student Wellness Fund. The Salve Regina Student Wellness Fund was selected by this year’s senior class as a focus of their philanthropy.
Known for a personalized approach to meeting student needs, Salve Regina remains deeply committed to ensuring that our students continue to have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe and caring environment. Challenges to student wellness have increased since the onset of the Coronavirus pandemic. While Salve is not alone in these challenges, the demand for wellness initiatives, including, mental health resources has increased. The pandemic has taken both a financial and emotional toll on many members of the Salve community. This has made adjusting to campus life and pursuing academic and personal goals harder than usual for many Salve students.
The Salve Student Wellness Fund has been established to be a resource to help address this important reality of campus life. Gifts to this fund will directly impact student access to these important resources.
