Homecoming Weekend 2008—February 15-17—is a great time to catch up with classmates at parties, at brunches, or strolling the revitalized PC campus on your way to the new Concannon Fitness Center. The weekend also will feature four Friars' home athletic games, a Hall of Fame induction ceremony, and an a cappella concert. [more]

Twelve former PC standout athletes, including cross country and track star Amy Rudolph '95 (right), and two former Friar head coaches, will be inducted into the Providence College Athletic Hall of Fame on Saturday, February 16, during Homecoming Weekend 2008. The event will include special recognition of seven PC alumnae who were members of the 1998 Gold Medal-winning U.S. Women's Olympic Ice Hockey Team. [more]

Alumni are being asked to nominate candidates for honorary degrees for Commencement Exercises in May 2008. College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. '80 says that among the candidates who should be considered are alumni whose lives and accomplishments embody the mission and values of the College. [more]

All alumni are invited to attend the 4:30 p.m. Mass on Thursday, December 13, in St. Dominic Chapel, which will be offered in memory of the 10 female students who lost their lives as a result of the fire in Aquinas Hall on December 13, 1977. The principal celebrant and homilist will be College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. '80.

The holiday season is a wonderful time for members of the College community to give something back to the faculty, staff, and the Dominicans who have promised to transform the lives of every student—past, present, and future. All alumni are invited to make a gift to support the Providence College Fund in helping to keep this promise. Your end-of-calendar-year gift will directly impact the lives of all undergraduates and will directly support ongoing faculty enrichment and academic programs. To make a secure online donation to the PC Fund, visit www.givetopc.org.
