Opportunities for Students

SalveVotes is a non-partisan, institution-wide initiative to promote civic engagement. In partnership with McKillop Library and many other offices on campus, SalveVotes hosts events, promotes dialogue and viewpoint diversity, and explores the many ways students can become active community members. Part of the ALL IN Campus Democracy Challenge, Salve Regina University was recognized as one of 2024's most engaged college campuses.

The Nuala Pell Leadership Program provides leadership development opportunities to a select group of diverse Salve undergraduate students interested in civic engagement and public policy.

Salve students are eligible for a select number of internship and student employment positions at the Pell Center each year. Through these positions, students engage with a broad spectrum of public issues while gaining professional experience in an office environment. Visit Handshake to find openings at the Pell Center, or email pellcenter@salve.edu for more information.

The Summer Institute of Politics is a weeklong residential program that offers promising high school students the opportunity to grapple with complex political questions through hands-on learning opportunities alongside local, state and national leaders.
