Dear Providence College Class of 2024, It’s our tradition! It’s your time! On behalf of the Class of 2024, we are excited to present the Official Providence College Ring Collection. Your ring will celebrate lasting traditions that define what it means to be a member of the Providence College Friar Family. Your lifetime connection began the moment you walked onto the PC campus. Now you are invited to join the ranks of Providence College graduates by becoming part of the Providence College ring tradition.

The Official Ring Collection is a time-honored tradition commemorating Providence College’s history, stories, and symbols that are universally relevant to our fellow Friars. On behalf of the Senior Ring Weekend Core representing the Class of 2024, we are excited to reveal and offer our class ring collection, share this tradition with you, and celebrate all the time we have spent together.
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE TRADITION
Once you graduate, your Providence College ring outwardly displays your Friar spirit that can open doors in connecting you to alumni everywhere. We hope that your ring will be reminiscent of the many memories made over the years at PC. But most importantly, it reflects you and your achievement.
Available to students and alumni exclusively, the Official Providence College Ring Collection is part of the College’s unique culture, embodying the shared experience of our class and generations of past and future alumni. It forever bonds us who wear it in tradition and fortitude as a symbol and honor of our accomplishments.
Students who order their Official Providence College Ring are eligible to participate in the inspiring and unique Ring Mass during Senior Ring Weekend. For more information about the Official Providence College Ring Collection, visit balfour4me.com/providence

The gate represents the first visual students see when arriving at campus, and the last thing they view as they leave. The gate symbolizes the beginning and ending of another chapter of life. Newly graduated students close the gates of friartown and open the gates of their future.
Spring on campus is marked by the arrival of the cherry blossoms. Students look forward to their bloom, seeing it as a symbol of the seasons and letting them know that the semester is winding down. The flowers are a beautiful sight on campus and help to welcome visiting students to our school.

On behalf of the Class of 2024, we are excited to share important information regarding the ring tradition at Providence College. We are among a small group of schools that maintains the rich tradition of personally designing our own class ring. Our class is eager to join this tradition. The ring design contains elements that span our entire tradition as well as elements that are unique to the experiences of our class. The ring serves as a symbol to connect our class not only with each other but also with our broad network of Providence College alumni around the world.
The stadium lights at Hendricken Field stood over us we took our class picture during the fall of 2021. This was one of the first in-person events that our entire class was able to attend, following a covid year. Not only do the lights represent one of our first class events, but they also serve as a reminder of how far we’ve come since our early days at Providence College.

One of the most recognizable features on campus is the flame. The flame was brought to campus in 2017 for the centennial, and represents Providence College’s motto, Veritas, which means “truth.” The flame is a centerpiece on campus and acts as a beacon guiding us to truth.
The rosary beads surrounding the Veritas shield signify the religious influence on campus as a part of both the spiritual and academic growth for many students.

Our beloved mascot, the Friar, serves as a symbol for our institution and our Division I sports teams. The Friar head is a symbol of pride for students and alumni of Providence College and ties our Dominican values to the character that we display on campus and on the field.
The clock outside of Slavin Hall is a pillar on campus. Most students pass by the clock on a daily basis from walking to class to grabbing a coffee at Dunkin’ Donuts. The moon phase shown on the ring’s depiction of the clock represents the phase of the moon that will be in effect on our graduation day in 2024. Ultimately, the clock symbolizes the passing of time and encourages us to enjoy every moment that we spend on campus and with our friar family.
Harkins
Providence College’s Division I basketball team had a remarkable season during the 2021-2022 school year. Following two years of Covid restrictions, the friars historic season lifted community spirits and brought together PC students during the aftermath of the pandemic. Ending with a Big East championship win and a place in the NCAA’s “Sweet Sixteen,” the friars had a fantastic run and made their mark on our time at Providence College. Therefore the basketball net serves as a tribute to the friar community that relished in the successful season together.
