The Senior Class has entered their final semester at Salve and now begin preparations for graduation. As they look to the future, they can’t help but remember where they came from and what the Salve experience has meant to them.

Here you can get to know one of those seniors – Mindy Ryan.

Jay Hansen, a nationally known singer and songwriter, will perform at Salve in the Wakehurst Commuter Lounge on Wednesday, February 11, at 8:00 p.m. Hansen’s music has appeared on Dawson’s Creek and on various MTV programs.

Work-study students at Salve have a little more cash in their pockets this semester, thanks to a rise in the minimum wage in Rhode Island that went into effect on January 1. The former minimum wage, $6.15 per hour, was raised by sixty cents to $6. 75 per hour.

The cost of higher education is rising, making it necessary for many college students to obtain employment.

So exactly how can students make the most out of their valuable time? There are many ways for working students to make time for work, studying and socializing.

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.
