Pell Center of International Relations and Public Policy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pell Center was established at Salve Regina University in Newport, Rhode Island, by an Act of Congress on September 28, 1996, to honor Senator Claiborne Pell. The Pell Center promotes the primary objectives of Senator 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 is committed to making a difference in the world by promoting programs that address issues critical to the well-being of societies and the planet, which honor one of the nation's most respected and accomplished statesmen.
Through the Pell Center, more young people will have the opportunity to be educated to understand the world around us and to participate in the global economy which is coming more and more to dominate the lives of all of us.– Senator Claiborne Pell

[edit] Special Collections
The Hugh D. Auchincloss Middle East Book Collection was given to the Pell Center in 2003 by Mr. Auchincloss. The gift reflects the donor's life long interest in the Middle East.
The collection, in three parts, consists of books, pamphlets and ephemera, and periodicals. The books have publication dates ranging from the late nineteenth to the early twenty-first century. Many were published in the Middle East and in some cases are inscribed to the donor by well known authors. The pamphlets and ephemera reflect the current responses by a wide range of organizations to questions pertinent to the Middle East at the time they were published. The ephemera demonstrate Mr. Auchincloss' immediate interests as he tore out pages from current publications ranging from the New York Times to Time Magazine. The Hugh D. Auchincloss Middle East Book Collection is currently housed in the Special Collections Room at the McKillop Library at Salve Regina University until such time as it can be moved to the Pell Center. The collection is available for use by appointment.
