It’s September, which means that the 2024-2025 academic year has officially begun at our Otterburne campus. Providence is excited for all of its new and returning students, who have already moved into residence and begun classes.
University College
Graduating Athletes
Providence has the pleasure of boasting championship titles and many successful games played in soccer, basketball, and volleyball, and our school is full of athletes who are winning these games while balancing everything else going on in their lives.
Graduation 2024
On Saturday, April 20th over 100 students gathered together to celebrate their graduation from Providence with family, friends, faculty and staff. This included graduates from the University College – i.e. Otterburne campus and Prov Downtown – and the Theological Seminary.
Residence Life Director: Teah Goossen
The students at Providence meet and connect with a lot of staff, but they interact with one staff member more than most, especially if they live in residence. The name Teah Goossen is familiar to everyone on campus, as well as several commuting students, and rightfully so. Teah is Providence’s Residence Life Director and, after six years of excelling in her role, she is leaving Providence at the end of April.
Faculty in Residence: Angelle Arinobu
While university life can be hectic and wild, Angelle Arinobu, our current Faculty in Residence, has braved the task of living in the same building as many of our residence students. Through her desire to connect with young people, she has helped to foster an environment where students can come together and chat.
Arts-Based Learning at Providence and Beyond
From drawing and painting, to creative movement and drama, to writing and music, art is a universal language that not only connects people and is central to culture, but is extremely effective for learning. Especially when dealing with pain and distress, artistic expression can be an invaluable tool when it comes to communication.

New Faculty in 2023
There is something unique about the place of teachers in the world. From a very young age, people look to others who have more life experience to impart wisdom and to inspire wonder. This is the case in family settings – where children learn from their parents and caregivers – as well as in scholastic contexts (i.e. elementary through graduate studies). In fact, without faculty, institutions like Providence would simply not exist, since it’s the role and responsibility of professors to facilitate the process of education, through teaching, writing and public scholarship.
PROV Talks 2023
On Thursday, November 16th, Providence hosted its annual Prov Talks event, where faculty and staff presented a variety of “ideas worth pondering.”
History of Muriel Taylor Hall
By Madison Franks, Student Writer OTTERBURNE, MB – Because I began my time at Providence in the fall of 2020, I was never around the campus to experience Bergen Hall. This was an all-male dormitory that stood where the new residence building, Muriel Taylor Hall, now...
