Members of the University community are invited to join alumni, parents and friends for Salve Regina’s Night at the Newport Gulls on Monday, July 22. This annual event celebrates the longtime partnership between the University and the Newport Gulls and highlights local students and graduates who learn, lead and make a difference.
Opening ceremonies begin at 6:15 p.m. and the game starts at 6:35 p.m. as the Gulls take on the Ocean State Waves at historic Cardines Field.
Several members of the Salve Regina community will participate in the evening’s festivities. Dr. Kelli J. Armstrong, Salve Regina’s eighth president who officially began her duties at the beginning of this month, will throw out the first pitch along with her husband and sons. Also throwing out the first pitch is Angela Augusta ’19, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma shortly after graduation.
Zara Hendrickson, daughter of Kristine Hendrickson, associate vice president for university relations and chief communications officer, will deliver the game ball to the starting pitcher. Social work major Cierra Vincente ’20 will sing the national anthem, and children of Salve Regina faculty and staff will appear during the opening ceremonies as baseball buddies. Read More
