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 […]
Nothing can quite compare to the feeling you get when you run down Esplanade in Pelham Manor in New York. There is something special about the way the world looks when you are running down that two-way street and all the ingredients for a perfect run blend together. The way the hot concrete pounds beneath […]
As a senior finance major, I had to take an Assessment of Learning exam and the Senior Assessment Exam as a part of my Finance Capstone. The AOL was strictly focused on finance, while the SAE was a cumulative exam on all things covered in the Ryan School of Business’s core classes. Even though paper […]
My best friend from back home will forever be my best friend from back home. When we are married with children, have moved away to where we’ve always dreamed of living, and have filled our households with homemade meals our mothers taught us to cook, artwork obtained throughout our travels, and beloved albeit deteriorating furniture […]

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 […]
Welcome back to The Cowl and to the spring semester! After a restful break, the return to college is often thought of as a return to normalcy. Oftentimes, though, this return can feel incredibly unfamiliar and disjointed: new classes, new daily routines, and even new living situations for some are all a part of this […]
