Arizona With March Madness approaching, there is a big debate over who will win the 2026 NCAA Division I men’s basketball tournament due to the many highly competitive conferences. While the University of Florida won the tournament in 2025, the University of Connecticut won the title consecutively in 2023 and 2024. This year, the University […]

The English era at Providence College has mercifully come to an end after the Friars were toppled by St. John’s University in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals—a game in which the Friars were down 21 by halftime. After a fluctuating, and often grueling, three-year English experiment, the head coach of the Friars and the athletic […]
As I approach the end of college, the benefits of social media have become even more apparent.

When I started driving, I thought highways were a scary place, mostly due to the other drivers on the road. Despite what some of my passengers might […]
Dear Editors of The Cowl, The Feb. 27 edition of The Cowl included a letter to the editor objecting to the Heated Rivalry portfolio section insert cover that appeared in the Feb. 12 issue.

Like the rest of the Providence College community, I was devastated to hear of the fire at Bradley Cafe, or Brad’s, as it is known to many. Having worked there, even if it wasn’t for long, I felt truly welcomed and like a part of the family. I made countless memories, including attending their Christmas […]
