Hey Cowl readers! I get the wonderful honor of wishing everyone a happy 90 year anniversary to everyone’s favorite part of Providence College: The Cowl! I know how beloved The Cowl is on campus (according to YikYak), so I am sure the PC community will be just as excited as we are for this anniversary. […]
On Nov. 16, 1935, the very first edition of the Providence College newspaper we all know and love, The Cowl, was published.

Hi Cowl readers! I hope you are enjoying these fleeting fall days and are getting excited for the holiday season. This past week, I have made it my mission to get into the holiday spirit, and for me, this almost always begins with either rereading Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women or rewatching the 2019 film […]
