On Dec. 13, 2025, I was sitting in my boyfriend’s dorm, watching college football. Just after 4 p.m. I received a news alert to my phone from AP News, which immediately sent me into a state of fear, grief, and sadness. There had been a shooting at Brown University, a mere 10 minutes from our […]
Hi Cowl readers! It’s hard to believe that Christmas is only two weeks away and that we have reached our final issue of the semester. The past three months were full of exciting learning experiences with The Cowl as Sarah and I navigated coming into this role together, and how quickly they flew by has […]
While putting away laundry, one of my closest girlfriends asked me a “would you rather” question that left me stumped. She carefully placed her shirt on a hanger in a much neater fashion than I ever do, and said, “Would you rather have no say in your style whatsoever and have someone choose your wardrobe […]
Christmas time is coming around, which means fun movies, baking, and decorating. Yet, I find myself stressed for the upcoming weeks, and not just from finals. 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 […]

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. 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 […]
There’s no more faking any remnants of warm weather or trying to convince myself that there will be some sort of turnaround. There will be no fascinating shift in temperature, allowing the sun to pour over everything and letting the world forget about the onset of winter. Well, with the state of the environment and […]
I had the pleasure of attending Father Sicard’s panel, With Mutual Respect: Discussions on Contemporary Challenges, this past Thursday, Nov. 13. Although honestly, my primary motivations for showing up were to receive extra credit for some classes, this year’s discourse on the nuances of free speech left me thoroughly engaged, pondering, and in the best way, […]
