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.
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.
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.

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.
On Thursday, November 16th, Providence hosted its annual Prov Talks event, where faculty and staff presented a variety of “ideas worth pondering.”

While students at Providence currently have the option to complete degrees in either General Biology or Psychology, a new program was launched in September that features a highly interdisciplinary approach.
