The Pell Center
The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy is a multidisciplinary research center focused at the intersection of politics, policies and ideas.
Pell Center Membership
Each year, the Pell Center welcomes great speakers to Salve Regina University—best-selling authors, political leaders, artists, and thinkers. At least eight times each academic year, we gather to learn, reflect, and sometimes laugh. Pell Center Membership is your guarantee of early notice of ticket availability. When you buy a membership, now, you’re gaining advance notification of all Pell Center events one week prior to tickets being made available to the general public. You can order tickets at anytime, but tickets may sell-out after they are opened to the public.
The price in the 2026-2027 Academic Year is $50.00. Individual tickets will be available for $10 per person per event.
Join the Pell Center for a great line-up of events in the 2026-2027 academic year. Hear from scholars and diplomats about the state of the world, the power of ideas, and the central role of the citizen in American democracy.
Our programs are designed to generate new ideas, expand public understanding of important issues, and ultimately help the public and its leaders make informed decisions.
Guided by Senator Pell's belief that politics is about translating ideas into action to improve people's lives, the Pell Center complements the education offered at Salve Regina University by fostering civic engagement and inspiring individuals to make a positive difference in their communities and beyond.
This membership includes early access to tickets for all Pell Center lectures during the 2026-2027 academic year. Renewals will be offered at the end of each academic year, though individuals may purchase a membership at any point in the academic year.
