Salve Regina University was honored to welcome His Excellency Michael B. Oren, Ambassador of Israel to the United States, to campus October 27 - 30.  While visiting the University, he presented a lecture open to the University and U.S. Naval War College communities, was the guest of honor at a State Luncheon hosted by the University and held a Meet and Greet with a select number of University students.

Steven Rugens from the University of Connecticut has been elected to the Advisory Board of the Greater Hartford Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The University of Massachusetts at Amherst is changing their “identity” from UMass Amherst Conference Services to UMass Hotel and Conference Center.  The hotel and conference services will operate as one from now on with the goal to better serve clients.  The purpose of the new “identity” is to be more universally recognizable and understandable to the people we serve.  The combined website will serve both operations and is:  www.umasshotel.com.

Norma J. Charette from the University of New England has been recently promoted to director of university events and conference services.  She will be taking on the strategic management and oversight of select University events that are directly tied to student recruitment and retention events.
