Personal Statement:
I never imagined 36 years ago that I was starting my lifelong career as a member of the admissions team at Salve Regina. I've seen incredible changes over time, but the one thing that has remained steady is Salve's mission. It is this mission and the amazing people - students, faculty and staff - that have kept me here for so long.
As you visit many college campuses, make sure to pay attention to the culture and climate. The process will seem overwhelming at times, but remind yourself to take a deep breath and enjoy the ride. It will be worth it in the end.
