Behind the stats and beyond the classroom ...

Providence College faculty members know their students' names, as well as their strengths, ambitions, and special interests. They help students seize every opportunity to get the most out of the PC experience.

Faculty keep their office doors open, respond to emails late at night, and know details about their students' lives. From discussions in the snack bar to invitations for dinner in their homes, to advice about graduate programs and careers, professors reach out to students, inside and outside of class.

Faculty mentorship often lasts for years, and can be seen in the hundreds of letters of recommendation faculty write each year to prestigious graduate and professional schools and prospective employers.
