As I enter my final year at Providence College, I hope to leave a mark on this campus and encourage all those at PC to treat our home with care and dignity. Every weekend, I am discouraged and disgusted by the amount of litter left on our campus. Our campus does not magically look this […]
Growing up, my mother only partially peeled the potatoes before mashing them, mixing garlic, velvety butter, and countless aromatic herbs into a big silver pot. My father grilled salmon and steaks, leaving the edges crispy for me because he knew I liked it that way. Broccoli, brussels sprouts, caesar salad with homemade dressing, thick, toasted […]
On Monday, I started feeling sick. On Tuesday, I tested positive for COVID-19. On Wednesday, I went to urgent care. Not once during my illness did I consider going to the Student Health Center here at Providence College. Why? Because they don’t give doctor’s notes. The main page of the PC Student Health Center’s website […]
Generations predating Gen Z frequently express their disdain regarding anonymous social media posting platforms like YikYak, citing that they allow for misinformation to be spread and harmful gossip to ensue. Within the past month, off-campus student homes have been broken into, burglarized–one an armed robbery–and on-campus residents have harbored peepers taking photos in bathrooms, while […]
“What if Willy Wonka led tours at Providence College?” This is a question that would never cross the minds of most Providence College students. But to the members of Six Gents, PC’s sketch comedy club, creativity never ceases to surge. Six Gents is composed of around a dozen students of all grades, and includes both […]
After many years of trying to implement composting on campus, ECOPC was finally able to bring composting to Raymond Dining Hall last spring, and the program has since extended to Alumni over summer. This has had a substantial impact on decreasing our on-campus environmental impact, specifically in the area of food waste. From April 2022 […]
Over the past week and a half, many seniors have expressed rightful discontent at having paid $100 (more if one counts the price of dresses and tux rentals) for two nights in Peterson and some spinach dip. It feels a bit cheap of the college to ask this of us when many are, ironically, working […]
Providence College’s 2022 Homecoming Weekend did more than add another year of celebration. It was also a mark of the first “Friars of Color” Homecoming event and, as head coordinator of the program Stephanie Mireku puts it, “just the beginning of engagement opportunities” like it. Oftentimes, the histories of Black students at PWIs are left […]
Anyone that is lucky enough to have a connection to Providence College knows how unique this place really is. Whether you are visiting, working, or living in Friartown, everyone has the same experience walking around campus: the feeling of pride in being a Friar. Yet, while people walk around, it is common to take this […]
by Sarah McLaughlin ’23 As a senior, I felt obligated to attend the Career Expo two weeks ago. I thought it provided a good opportunity to speak with potential employers, and I thought it might quell some of my fears about my future. However, I left with perhaps a greater feeling of uneasiness than I […]
