I am a Senior, Education and Math major here at URI. I originally am from Sandy Hook, Connecticut, but would easily call Rhode Island my home. I started getting more involved at the Catholic Center my second semester of freshman year, and I am so glad I did! Outside of studying, I love hanging out with my friends and driving around RI to see the beautiful sites! I am so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us, this ’20-’21 school year!
Hey guys!
My name is Regan Sweeney and I am headed into my senior year as a double major in Anthropology and Marine Biology. I moved to Rhode Island in November of 2016 when my dad received military orders for the Naval War College in Newport and I have loved it here ever since. Besides Rhode Island, I have also lived in Georgia, Alabama, South Carolina, Virginia, Connecticut, and New Hampshire!
I transferred to URI last fall from the Community College of Rhode Island where I received my Associate's degree. When I first began visiting the Catholic Center, I was completely stunned at the amount of people there who were just like me - college students looking to grow in their relationship with Christ. Even though I grew up Catholic, it was extremely difficult for me to establish a strong foundation within the Catholic community because we moved around so much.That changed when I walked into the CC. I joined a Bible study, began attending Mass more regularly throughout the week, and got to know the incredible students and missionaries at the CC. I knew I was finally home.
A few of my favorite things - books, astronomy, Lord of the Rings, and animals! I have wanted to be a veterinarian since I was five years old and hope to attend veterinary school following graduation.
I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us this year! If you have any dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free, vegan, etc) please reach out to me or Sam Gordon, my co-chair!
