As students and faculty returned to classes last week they met face to face with helpful news – the McKillop Library has extended its regular hours. The notices were posted at eyelevel in the entrances to the library and scrolled across the news ticker of the default Salve web page. Library patrons can now access the computer labs, pick up books, or study for an hour later every day.

Classes at Salve Regina University were delayed by two hours this morning due to the snowy weather. Classes begin at 10 a.m.

Well here we go again the greatest day of the year – Super Bowl Sunday – a showdown of the two best teams in the game this year. The Carolina Panthers face off against the New England Patriots this Sunday at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas, and the winner walks away from this contest with the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

Welcome back to another semester!

The Mosaic staff hope you all had time to relax and had as much fun as our editors did. For this special back to school edition, we wanted to bring you along to experience the sights we’ve seen since you heard from us last.

Six days of winter break found me in a car, traveling happily cross-country from New Jersey to San Diego, Calif. on a trip I won’t soon forget. I learned as much as I experienced on this trip, and I’d like to share with you the ways this trip changed me and the enlightment it helped me to attain, from start to finish.
