Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy

The Pell Center for International Relations and Public Policy at Salve Regina underscores our nation's dedication to bringing peaceful means of resolution into current and emerging public policy issues. The Pell Center pays tribute to the late Sen. Claiborne deBorda Pell, a distinguished gentleman and statesman who exemplified wisdom, courage and leadership in national and international politics.

Established by an Act of Congress Sept. 28, 1996, the Pell Center promotes the primary objectives of Pell's decades of public service: Enhancing international dialogue to achieve a more peaceful world and preparing individuals for an informed and active role in local, national and world affairs.

The Pell Center focuses on:

  • Applying multilateral solutions to international problems
  • Examining the influences and consequences of globalization
  • Responding to the changed nature of security and conflict resolution
  • Enabling global resource stewardship and environmental protection
  • Supporting the arts, humanities and education

Through ongoing programs, lectures, research, seminars, publications and outreach opportunities, and with the support of an active advisory board, the Pell Center works to further Pell's legacy through collaborative programs nationally and internationally.
