NEWPORT, R.I. – Students, teachers and members of the Newport community took time out of their day to remember the late Pope John Paul II Friday, in a mass at Ochre Court.

Providence Bishop Thomas J. Tobin asked of the churches in Rhode Island to celebrate mass honoring the late pope along with churches around the world.

One of the main factors in my decision to attend Salve Regina University was the fact that it is a Catholic school. My parents sacrificed a lot to send me to a Catholic grade school and high school, and I thought that I could show them how much I appreciated it by continuing my Catholic education at a Catholic university.

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Some young professionals are asking themselves that. (Hey, some baby boomers are, too.)

Their problem: the quarterlife crisis.

Women’s Track and Field Update:

After only one and half years at Salve as the women’s track and field coach, Coach Scott Hutchinson is already seeing improvement. The team boasts a roster of 23, up from last years team of 15.

The team welcomes back returners Lisa Silveira, and Kendra Czarnecki, both of whom qualified for NCAA New England’s last year.
