PROVIDENCE COLLEGE ATHLETIC ACADEMIC SERVICES The Office of Academic Services (OAS) provides specialized support to student-athletes in light of the unique time demands, responsibilities, and rules governing participation in intercollegiate athletics. Services are provided in a safe, personal environment where academic growth is a priority, personal development and independence are enhanced, and long-term success is nurtured by a staff which models these same commitments. Student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in the classroom as well as on the field or court, may be nominated for the BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team, the HOCKEY EAST Academic Honor Roll, NFHCA Division I Academic Team, or CoSIDA’s Academic All-American Program. The Providence College Athletic Department also honors student-athletes each semester who have achieved a 3.00 grade point average or higher. The student-athlete support staff includes the following: Jonathan Gomes, Assistant Director for Student-Athlete Services Kaitlyn O’Malley, Academic/Life Skills Coordinator for Student-Athletes Caitlin Grant, Academic Coordinator of Student Athletes Jesse Strout, Graduate Assistant SERVICES FOR STUDENT-ATHLETES Academic Monitoring Progress report slips (i.e., requesting information regarding class attendance and performance) are sent to each instructor for all student-athletes at least once per semester. The staff track individual progress, schedules meetings with student-athletes as appropriate, and personally contacts instructors as necessary.

UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS Providence College is primarily a coeducational four-year undergraduate college of liberal arts and sciences. Its main objective is the intellectual development of its students through the disciplines of the sciences and the humanities, equipping them to become productive and responsible citizens of a democratic society. To be eligible for a degree, a student must accumulate 116 credit hours over an eight semester period with an overall quality point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. In addition, a student must complete a minimum of 24 upper-division credits in the field of their major with an overall 2.0 cumulative average unless stipulated. Included in the total credit hours are the following prerequisites for any degree: Development of Western Civilization (20); Social Sciences (6); Natural Science (6); Philosophy (6); Theology (6); Mathematics (3) and Fine Arts (3). The remaining credit hours are elective with at least nine coming from areas outside one’s major. In addition, all students establish English (writing) Proficiency by coursework or standards designated by the English Department. The five most popular concentrations for the Class of 2010 were Marketing, English, Finance, Biology and Elementary and Secondary Education. In all, the college offers a total of 34 majors and 36 minors ranging from theatre arts to computer science. Although this may seem overwhelming on paper, our staff goes to great lengths to monitor each student’s academic progress. The Athletic Department’s Academic Advisor counsels all of the school’s athletes and assists them in any areas in which they are experiencing difficulties. It’s a system that Providence is quite proud of and one which we’ve worked long and hard to establish. Any student-athlete who feels the need for tutorial assistance can utilize the college’s tutorial center, as well as the athletic department’s advisors who can supply them with individuals capable of assisting them in their particular course of study.

Counseling/Mentoring The staff meets with student-athletes, individually and in groups, regarding academic, athletic, career, and/or personal issues. Life Skills Program/Special Projects Programs and workshops on select life skills (i.e., NCAA/CHAMPS Life Skills Program) are presented, covering the following five component areas: academics, personal development, community service, athletics, and career development. The OSA has collaborative relationships with many units on campus to help provide these services. Pre-Advisement/Registration The staff assists student-athletes with planning and course registration. In conjunction with the Office of Academic Records, dates are determined for preregistration each semester. Study Hall Quiet, monitored study time is available, during daytime and evening hours. Student-athletes are required and/or recommendation to attend, on a sport-by-sport basis, by their respective head coach. Travel Notifications At the beginning of each semester, student-athletes are provided with letters for their instructors, notifying them of travel/competitive schedules. Tutorial Services and The Writing Center The Tutorial Center, which is nationally certified by the College Reading & Learning Association, provides peer tutoring in most all subject areas. The Tutorial Center is open until 9:00 p.m. on weeknights. The Writing Center provides more intensive and specialized writing support and also maintains evening hours for student-athletes’ convenience.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE ADMINISTRATION Robert G. Driscoll, Jr. Associate V.P./Athletics Director Since Robert G. Driscoll was hired as the Associate Vice President for Athletics on November 2, 2001, Providence College athletics has experienced unprecedented growth in academic and athletic performance, fundraising, facilities and community involvement. Driscoll has reinvigorated the Providence College Athletics program, leading the charge with a vision of creating one of the most respected programs in the nation, where each student-athlete graduates and has the opportunity to compete for championships. Driscoll was recognized for his efforts on June 10, 2008 as he was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. He also was honored in 2009 by his alma mater, Ithaca College, where he received the Distinguished Sport Industry Leader award during alumni weekend. Most recently, he was elected as Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association Secretary. Athletically, Providence experienced success in 2010-11. The men’s soccer team earned its way to the championship match of the BIG EAST Tournament and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. The Friars played their first home NCAA Championship game and posted a 6-2 win over Saint Peter’s to advance to the Second Round for the second time in school history. The women’s cross country team qualified for the NCAA Championship for the 22nd consecutive season and placed in the top-10 (ninth) for the 17th time in school history. The men’s team also earned a berth to the NCAA Championship, its fifth consecutive appearance and 15th in the last 16 years. There were eight Friars crowned All-Americans. Marshon Brooks became the first PC basketball player to be named to the Associated Press All-America Team since Ryan Gomes in 2004. Brooks also set the BIG EAST single-game and single-season scoring records. Lee Carey, who led the men’s cross country team to a third-place finish at the BIG EAST Championship by capturing the individual title, also earned All-America accolades. Shelby Greany was crowned All-American twice (cross country and indoor track – 3,000 meters). Hannah Davidson also was named All-American as she ran the 3,000 meters at the NCAA Indoor Track Championships. Julian Matthews garnered two All-America honors (indoor track – mile, outdoor track – 1,500 meters). David McCarthy rounded out the list of All-Americans as he earned the honor in the indoor 3,000 meters. In addition, Providence College finished seventh out of 95 Division I-AAA schools in the 2010-11 Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup. The College recently approved renovation plans for Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and home courts for women’s basketball and volleyball. Construction will begin in the spring of 2012. In addition, the College gained approval for a state-of-the-art soccer, lacrosse and track athletic complex adjacent to Schneider Arena, which also will be renovated. Included in this complex will be a 30,000 square-foot facility connected to Schneider Arena which will house locker rooms and other facilities for athletic teams. The College also will build a new softball complex and tennis courts on Hendricken Field. In addition to the upcoming renovations to Alumni Hall and Schneider Arena as well as the state-of-the art soccer and lacrosse complex, there have been numerous other facility improvements in Alumni Hall. The men’s basketball offices, hallway and locker rooms were renovated, thanks to a generous gift from Providence College alumnus Joe Calabria ‘65. The Joe Calabria Hallway of Legends was dedicated in January of 2009. Consisting of nine exhibit areas and

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE IN THE COMMUNITY By Steph Kiesel of the PC Softball Team With the beginning of another season, the Providence College softball team was extremely excited to be back on campus and back into the “swing” of things. During the fall semester, not only did we prepare for the upcoming softball season, but also planned other events, such as volunteer services that are very important to our team and the Providence community. On Sunday, October 30, the team took part in the annual Breast Cancer Walk held by the American Cancer Society. The three-mile course runs through Roger Williams Park in Providence. PC softball participates in this event every year. This year, we were able to raise $1,800. PC softball truly appreciates all the donations we received from our family and friends, as well as the PC student body. PC softball also participated in the Christmas Bazaar that took place at St. Patrick’s Parish in Providence on Saturday, November 5. This is another event that PC softball has been taking part in every year. At this event, we helped set up and took down the arrangement of gifts, assisted in the selling of the gifts and played games with the children. The event was hosted by the Mary House of Providence. Three years ago, the team began a new tradition by volunteering in the soup kitchen at St. Patrick’s Parish, which is offered every Monday for the less fortunate in the Providence community. At the soup kitchen, we served food, conversed with the people that came in for aid, and helped clean up after dinner. We ran into old friends and made new ones along the way. On Monday, December 5, the PC team participated in a community event at the Madeline Rogers Recreational Center run by the Institute for the Study and Practice of Non-Violence. The Institute provides local Providence youth with an alternative place to hang out in order to prevent them from becoming involved with gangs, drugs, and violence. PC softball enjoyed playing basketball, as well as other games with the Providence youth ages ranging from 7-18. Our team really enjoys the time spent serving the community, because of the help it brings the people around us. It also allows our team to work together off the field. Participating in these projects helps out the people in the community, while providing our team with a great insight of why it is so important to get involved and contribute time to improve the community. Through these events, we gained a lot of respect from our surrounding community, as well as set higher standards for ourselves as student athletes. Knowing that we can work hard and prepare ourselves for competition is only part of what we are about; the other part is discovering that we have the ability to make a difference in the world.
