20th Anniversary!

PC Winter Break Shadowing Day Program
Alumni providing PC Students with career information and advice for 20 years!

In 1990 the Providence College Alumni Shadow Program was launched, enabling students the opportunity for an “on-the-job” visit with a PC alumnus. Twenty years later, the name has changed but the worthwhile experience students receive has stayed the same! Career Services would like to invite you to participate in the 20th Winter Break Shadowing Day Program!
