Circle of Scholars
Salve Regina's Circle of Scholars is a lifelong learning institute affiliated with the Elderhostel network. The Circle's mission is the fostering of joy and satisfaction in lifelong learning. Founded in 1994, the program offers seminars to members on a wide variety of subjects, including literature, history, science, health, music, art, public affairs, religion, theater and film.
Membership
Anyone 50 years of age and older is eligible to join the Circle of Scholars. There is no residence or formal education requirement, only a strong desire to learn, to explore new fields of knowledge and to meet new people. The membership fee is $75 per person each academic year. Only members may register for seminars.
Benefits
All members become part of the Salve Regina learning community. In addition to attending seminars, Circle of Scholars members are entitled to use the McKillop Library and the computer labs. Library cards may be issued upon request. Members will receive a parking pass and are encouraged to attend theater productions, Pell Center lectures and other University events. In December, Salve Regina hosts a complementary reception for members in Ochre Court to celebrate the holidays and our Circle of Scholars community.
