THE FOUNDING OF PROVIDENCE COLLEGE Providence College was founded in 1917 through a joint effort ofthe Diocese of Providence and the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph, with the blessing of Pope Benedict XV and the consent of the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island.

The driving force behind the development of the College was the late Rt. Rev. Matthew Harkins, D. D., Bishop of Providence, whose dream it was to create a center of advanced learning primarily for the Catholic youth of Rhode Island. However, the College’s charter demonstrates that the founders intended PC to serve members of all religious faiths as it reads: “no person shall be refused admission . . . nor shall any person be denied any of the privileges, honors, or degrees in said college on account of the religious opinion he may entertain.”

Bishop Harkins’ negotiations with the Dominicans of the Province of St. Joseph and his gifts of approximately 17 acres of land and $10,000 in scholarship funds helped make Providence College a reality. With donations coming primarily from Catholics of modest means, and a pledge from the Province of St. Joseph to provide Dominican administrators and teachers, the College broke ground for the imposing Harkins Hall in 1917. Two years later, in September 1919, it opened its doors to 71 students and nine Dominican faculty members.

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE THE MISSION OF THE COLLEGE Providence College is a primarily undergraduate, liberal arts, Catholic institution of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportunities for intellectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment.

The College actively cultivates intellectual, spiritual, ethical and aesthetic values within the context of the Judaeo-Christian heritage. These values are nurtured by the unique tradition of the Dominican Order which emphasizes quality teaching and scholarship.

Providence College recognizes the unity of the human family that proceeds from its one Creator. It therefore encourages the deepest respect for the essential dignity, freedom and equality of every person and welcomes qualified women and men from all religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds.

Providence College prepares its students to be responsible and productive citizens to serve in their own society and the greater world community.

Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 98 years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population.

Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system.

With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime.

To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college.

As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit.

Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; the Providence Place Mall, the Bank of America City Center, sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity.

ADMINISTRATION Robert G. Driscoll, Jr. Athletic Director

Entering his 17th season as Providence College’s Associate Vice President & Athletics Director, Bob Driscoll has transformed and reinvigorated Providence College’s athletics program. Having established a vision of student-athlete success in the classroom and in the community while competing for championships, Driscoll maintains focus on leading, fostering and mentoring one of the nation’s most respected athletic programs.

Over the past five years, Driscoll has been the architect of one of the most successful eras in the history of Providence College athletics.

The Friars continued their success during 2017-18, with the men’s basketball team’s fifth-consecutive NCAA appearance. Providence finished in a three-way tie for third in the BIG EAST standings at 10-8, highlighted by a momentous 76-71 win over then-No. 3/2 Villanova at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center. As the No. 5 seed in the BIG EAST Tournament, Providence’s run to the title game included three-consecutive overtime contests – a 72-68 win over No. 4 Creighton, a 75-72 triumph over top-seeded Xavier, and a 76-66 setback to eventual national champion Villanova.

Men’s hockey continued its run with its fifth-consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance and fifth-consecutive 20-plus win season under Head Coach Nate Leaman. The Friars advanced to their first Hockey East Championship Game since 2001 with a 3-2 overtime win over Northeastern in the semifinals. Providence also advanced to the NCAA East Regional Final by virtue of a 1-0 win over Clarkson in Bridgeport, Conn.

Sophomore defenseman Jacob Bryson earned Second Team All-American and First Team Hockey East recognition, while teammate Erik Foley also earned First Team Hockey East Distinction. The team finished the season ranked seventh in the USCHO poll and ninth in the USA Today/ USA Hockey Magazine poll, marking the sixth-consecutive season that the program has earned a spot in the final national polls. Providence became just the third Division I school all-time to have both men’s basketball and men’s hockey programs earn NCAA Tournament bids in the same season for five-consecutive years.

Women’s cross country secured its fifth NCAA Northeast Regional crown in the last six seasons, while Catarina Rocha captured the individual BIG EAST Cross Country crown. The Friars earned its 28th NCAA Cross Country Championships berth, finishing 16th overall at the event.

Rocha, Brianna Ilarda, Millie Paladino, and Abbey Wheeler, All-Northeast Region honors after finishing in the top-25 at the NCAA Northeast Regional meet. Paladino also qualified for the final of the women’s mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships, finishing sixth overall to earn First Team All-American recognition. Rocha and Wheeler both qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 5,000m event. Wheeler advanced to the final of the 5,000m, finishing 19th overall and earning Honorable Mention All-American accolades.

Providence College ranked 107th in the final Learfield Directors’ Cup standings, finishing sixth among NCAA Division I non-FBS/FCS institutions and third among BIG EAST Conference members. The Friars picked up a total of 170.00 points. The men’s hockey program picked up the most points for the Friars (60) by virtue of its run to the NCAA East Regional Final.

This impressive run kicked off when the 2013 women’s cross country team claimed the College’s second NCAA Championship. It continued with the men’s basketball team winning the 2014 BIG EAST Tournament title and advanced to the 2014 and 2015 NCAA Tournaments. The men’s hockey team made back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances (2014 and 2015) for the first time in program history before claiming its first NCAA Championship with a dramatic, come-from-behind win over Boston University on April 11, 2015 at the TD Garden. It marked the College’s third NCAA team title and its first in a men’s sport.

For the second time in his tenure, Driscoll was recognized as the Under Armour I-AAA Athletics Director of the Year at the 51st Annual National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) convention in June 2016. In June 2008, Driscoll also was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Director of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention.

The Friars also have excelled in the classroom, with Providence’s student-athletes combining for an average GPA of 3.22. After a school-record six Providence College athletic programs received Public Recognition Awards in 2014 as part of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program, three Friar teams earned the honor in 2015 and two teams, women’s swimming & diving and women’s tennis, earned recognition awards in 2016 and 2017. Multiple Friar teams have been honored in each of the 13 years the NCAA has given out the Public Recognition Awards. Aside from excelling in the classroom and competing for championships, Driscoll’s student-athletes are very active in the local community. Last year alone, Friar student-athletes combined for over 2,000 hours of community service, raising $28,880. Providence was named a runner-up for the 2018 NACDA Community Service Award, earning $5,000 to donate to local charities.

One of the biggest impacts Driscoll has had on the Providence College Athletics Department, and the College as a whole, has been with facility development, construction and renovation. Since his arrival in 2001, Driscoll has transformed the College’s athletics facilities. Construction was completed in the fall of 2015 to build Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium, where the men’s and women’s soccer and men’s lacrosse programs play, as well as a new softball field and tennis courts. Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium has also played host to the BIG EAST Lacrosse Tournament (2017) and the USILA North-South All-Star Game (2017- 2018). Men’s soccer also played host to a BIG EAST Semifinal and a NCAA First Round game at Chapey Field at Anderson Stadium in 2016. Women’s soccer finished 7-3-0 in their inaugural season at Anderson Stadium in 2016.

In December 2015, the College announced a historic gift to begin Phase I construction of the Ruane Friar Development Center, which will include a men’s basketball training and recruiting facility in addition to the College’s academic services space. Groundbreaking for the Ruane Friar Development Center took place on Oct. 1, 2016 in a ceremony held outside Alumni Hall. Phase I construction is expected to be completed in August 2018.

ADMINISTRATION

In September of 2013, a state-of-the art renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was completed. The project included new locker rooms, new coaches’ offices, a renovated press box, a state-of-the-art video board and sound system, luxury boxes, as well as a new hockey and lacrosse strength and conditioning room. The Ray Treacy Track was built over the summer of 2013 to give the men’s and women’s cross country and track programs an improved place to train and race, as well as serving the whole Providence College community. Taylor Natatorium also underwent extensive renovations in 2013.

Other facility upgrades that have highlighted Driscoll’s tenure include an $80-million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, which serves as the home venue for Friars men’s basketball. The project was the result of Driscoll working strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island. The renovations enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training/fitness areas. These renovations have enabled Providence College to serve as host for the First and Second Rounds of the 2010, 2016, and the future 2021 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship.

Kicking off Driscoll’s vision for the improved athletic facilities footprint at Providence College, the Concannon Fitness Center, opened in August of 2007, adjacent to Lennon Family Field (Astroturf facility), which was completed in August 2005. A new Astroturf surface was installed on Lennon Family Field in the summer of 2017 in addition to a new videoboard in the summer of 2018. The Fitness Center houses the Friars’ Jimmy Walker Strength and Conditioning Center for varsity student-athletes, as well as administrative and coaching offices, conference rooms and locker rooms. Additionally, the Concannon Fitness Center serves the whole Providence College community and houses the recreation sports staff, furthering the bond between the campus community and Friar Athletics. Next, the Canavan Sports Medicine Center was completed in August of 2008.

Driscoll established the athletic fundraising philosophy and department that has been instrumental in making program upgrades possible. He and his staff have exceeded fundraising goals on a yearly basis, including $6.4-million in cash donations during the 2017-18 fiscal calendar. The additional revenue remains critical to building and supporting championship programs and providing the best opportunities to Providence College’s student-athletes. The funds Driscoll and his staff raise help directly support all 19 of Providence College’s Division I programs, the Friars Forever Fund and capital projects.

In the past, Driscoll has served as the President of the Division I-AAA Athletics Directors Association. He also has served as First Vice President and Second Vice President for the organization. Additionally, Driscoll represents the BIG EAST’s athletic directors on the Student-Athlete Advisory Council, serves as a mentor for the Division I-AAA mentoring program and serves on the Hockey East Television Negotiations and Marketing Committees. He previously served on the NCAA Division I Management Council, the NCAA Ice Hockey Championship Committee (Chair 2010-11) and was the Chair of the BIG EAST Athletic Directors in 2011-12. Driscoll also was an NCAA Fellows Programs Executive Mentor.

Currently, Driscoll serves on the BIG EAST Finance Committee with the league’s other presidents and also is a Chair for the Hockey East Board of Directors.

Driscoll joined the Providence community after 14½ years in athletic administration at the University of California, Berkeley, culminating in serving as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. Prior to that, he was Cal’s Executive Associate Athletic Director and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department, as well as overseeing football, men’s basketball, men’s and women’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo, rugby, strength training, equipment and the sports medicine programs.

Driscoll was hired at Cal as the Associate Athletic Director for Student Services, a position he held for five years. He then assumed the position of Executive Associate Athletic Director, at which point he was responsible for the administration of 27 varsity sports, a staff of 250 and a $36 million budget. Prior to coming to Providence, he served as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his tenure, Cal won over 20 national championships and competed in the Citrus, Copper, Alamo and Aloha Bowls. The Bears also finished as high as 12th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup. Before arriving at Cal, Driscoll served six years (1981-87) as the Athletic Director and Chair of the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Intramural Sports at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Prior to Mills, Driscoll was Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball and Hockey Coach at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. from 1977-81. Driscoll played hockey, where he was captain and team MVP for three-consecutive years, and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.). He received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974 and his Master of Science in physical education/psychology of sports from Ithaca in 1975.

A native of West Concord, Mass., Driscoll was inducted into the inaugural class of Concord-Carlisle High School’s Athletic Hall of Fame (football, ice hockey and baseball) in 1993. He and his wife Cathy have three grown children.

FRIARS IN THE COMMUNITY

The Providence College Softball team has taken a passionate stance in their community service this year in gratitude for the opportunities they have as members of the team. PCSB has participated in events such as the Crate Escape 5K for the Pawtucket Animal Rescue League, the Girls on the Run event, the Golden Crest Nursing Home, the Special Olympics Basketball Tournament, the San Miguel School Holiday Toy Drive and the Young Athlete’s Program.

In January 2019, the Providence College Softball Team partnered with the Young Athlete’s Program at Pleasant View Elementary School in Providence, Rhode Island. With the guidance of teacher and coordinator, Patty Carosotto, our team is able to instruct and aid young students who are challenged with developing their gross and fine motor skills. The team travels to the elementary school two times per week to work with the kindergarten students, instructing and motivating them to reach their absolute potential.

The team also participated in the annual Girls on the Run 5k. Girls on the Run is a nation-wide nonprofit program which encourages young girls to begin healthy lifestyles and respect themselves through physical activities. PCSB, along with all other female athletes, were paired with the young girls in the program. Each player wrote a note of encouragement and advice to a young girl in the program, telling them how their athletic experience has shaped their life positively.
