As leaders of the Providence College School of Business, we read the Feb. 5 opinion piece, “Concerns About Alleged AI Usage at PC’s Business School,” in The Cowl, and we feel compelled to respond. Academic integrity is the bedrock of our institution; without it, the value of a PC degree is diminished for every student […]
I am going to take a trite term and do my best to infuse it with some sort of comfortable nostalgia, but also with the notion that we must stay well-informed, vigilant, and understanding of society at all times. History repeats itself. It is repeating itself. Sure, the New England Patriots were in the Super […]
What is the true meaning of Valentine’s Day? Depending on your relationship status, your answer will probably be something along the lines of romance or capitalism. However, what is the commonality between both of those responses? Chocolate! Starting in mid-January, you can’t walk into any CVS without seeing shelves decked out in red and pink. […]
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 […]
For my whole life, the sheer mention of Feb. 14 caused me to eye-roll.

The goal to master something you love is an immense goal, something humans don’t […]
Hello Cowl readers, happy February! I hope everyone is staying warm despite the biting cold days we’ve been having and the copious amount of snow that seems as if it will never go away. As a student living in off-campus housing this year, I’ve been witnessing the city of Providence’s snow cleanup job firsthand for […]
“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 […]
Our current national debt is $38.6 trillion dollars. That number is enough to make the Elon Musks, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerbergs of the world wince. You still may be asking yourself, why does this matter to me? I am in college and I do not have any life plans figured out yet. You also […]
