NEWPORT – Salve Regina University has officially launched its largest fundraising campaign in the university’s nearly 90-year history. The private university announced Wednesday that its “Our Mission. Our Moment” campaign looks to raise $75 million to help support Salve’s academic and co-curricular initiatives. Salve says it hopes significant investments for those initiatives will help elevate the university’s reputation within the higher education sector. Salve says the campaign has already raised close to $55 million during its quiet phase and is now turning to the public to help the university complete its fundraising goal. “Everyone is welcomed to support our beloved institution. We know the power of one gift is extraordinary,” Salve Vice President for Advancement MaeLynn Patten said in a statement. “The power of many is limitless.” The campaign has three priorities, Salve says. It looks to support the newly launched Salve Compass program, a four-year initiative that provides all undergraduates with personal academic planning, life design and career preparation. Another priority in Salve’s campaign is continued investment in teaching, research and innovation, as well as supporting student athletes in various sports programs. Also, the campaign hopes to help Salve expand its finance aid program to help keep the cost of education at the university as low as possible for students. “This is our time to show the world what a mercy education means and ensure the impact of our amazing Salve community will reach far and wide,” Salve President Kelli J. Armstrong said in a statement. “This is our moment to shine, to demonstrate unequivocally what it means to work for a world that is harmonious, just and merciful.” Alumni, corporations, foundations and others looking to support Salve’s campaign are encouraged to email the university directly.
