It isn’t all Fun and Games. Or is it? With the recent cancellation of Eaton Street events, I’ve heard nonstop discussions about, “What are we going to do? Campus is so boring. Maybe I’ll transfer.” I understand wanting something to do on a Saturday. But if the cancellation of a party is enough to make […]
Graduating from college is a major achievement. An undergraduate degree takes a large investment of time, money, and effort, and not just on the part of the students. Families have helped move students in and out of dorm rooms, worked long hours to help cover expenses, and gave encouraging words to help them feel less […]
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 […]
Many professors would call artificial intelligence usage a crisis in the classroom, and I do not disagree that AI is becoming an issue. Nonetheless, this raises the question; who is going to protect the students from being wrongfully accused of using AI? In the ongoing conversation of where AI belongs inside schools, is the use […]
Although I was not familiar with Lent before I came to Providence College, I have come to understand Lent as a “40 day season of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that begins on Ash Wednesday, …[preparing] to celebrate the Lord’s Resurrection at Easter.” I originally found out about Lent freshman year when I witnessed Ash Wednesday […]
On the average weekday, over 41,000 Rhode Islanders board a Rhode Island Public Transit Authority bus, and many of those trips begin, end, or require a stop at the infamous Kennedy Plaza in downtown Providence.

I vividly remember being on campus for First Day in Friartown, listening to Dean Sears give an introduction speech. He spoke to us about how Providence College, in general, is a place of love, where many find their forever person. That moment stuck with me more than expected, and it put an expectation into my […]
“College will be the best time of your life!” was a phrase I heard all too often prior to moving into Providence College. Hearing so many stories from my friends who were already in college, my parents, and others engraved the expectation that college would, in fact, be the best time of my life. There […]
On Jan. 25, I watched from my window as mounds of snow began to accumulate all over campus and visibility lowered to a cloudy white haze. With classes canceled for the next day, this was a prime day to catch up with friends, binge watch the show you’ve been meaning to start, or grab whatever […]
On Dec. 1, 2025, I woke up to see the flyer for a birthday celebration for the generative artificial intelligence platform ChatGPT hosted by the Ryan Business School. It was a strange sight to see an invitation to an AI-themed birthday bash. The party was complete with pizza, cake, prizes, and even coveted Friar Leadership […]
