Each year, Providence College’s Student Congress holds two allocation meetings that significantly impact club funding: one at the end of the academic year for distributing budgets, and another at the beginning of the spring semester to review how clubs have been spending their funds. The current process has led to clubs losing previously allocated funds […]
A crucial missed opportunity for the Providence College men’s basketball team to enter NCAA tournament contention after a blown lead to the University of Connecticut. A terrible loss to a mediocre Xavier University. A defeat on home soil against Villanova University. A mismanaged, and embarrassing game against dead-last Marquette University. Worst of all, a blown […]
Happy spring semester! I hope everyone had a restful break and a good start to the semester. I know that I usually keep my ed columns pretty silly and focus on whatever my current random thoughts are, but unfortunately, due to the state of the world, I have had less time to think about these […]
For student drivers with sedans and other smaller vehicles, the student parking lots are a pothole nightmare. When I drive through student parking areas such as the Cunningham/Mal Brown Lot or the Schneider Lot, it has become increasingly bumpy, to say the least. Although I am from Maine and have driven through many dirt roads […]
As an upperclassman or even a sophomore living in on-campus apartments or in suites, such as McCarthy Hall, you have multiple options for which meal plan you want to sign up for.

Christmas time also means buying gifts for loved ones. Choosing and buying gifts can be stressful! While Christmas gifts are a central part of the holiday season, the excessive […]
This holiday season, I want to remind everyone of the importance of visiting with your grandparents and older relatives. For a retired person, the holidays can either be a time of longing for company or being connected and supported by loved ones—especially ones they may not see often. We all have the ability to make […]
As my first semester of college comes to an end, I continue to realize that I am not the same person I was when I first stepped foot on campus in August. Senior year of high school feels like a distant memory, replaced by numerous adventures, friendships, and lessons throughout the beginning of my time […]
On Nov. 16, 1935, the very first edition of the Providence College newspaper we all know and love, The Cowl, was published. As I reflect on the 90th anniversary of The Cowl, I have come to recognize how remarkable it is for a student-run newspaper to survive and thrive for nine decades. I believe that […]
