COVER FEATURE
Rev. Francis J. Hicks ’63 leaves career,
alcohol behind
By DIANE M. STERRETT
The surprising twists and turns of his life’s journey resemble
the trails he rides in the hills of Los Angeles on one of his nine
Harley-Davidsons.
His first career took him from Thailand to Texas, then Los Angeles to Laos,
and back to Los Angeles. His roles evolved from gun-wielding INS agent to
blood-giving priest — ordained at age 58. And, his relationship with God
swung from devout Irish-Catholic child, to agnostic adult, to compassionate priest.
Meet the very candid Rev. Francis J. Hicks ’63, or “Father Frank,” a recovering alcoholic who’s the pastor of a large, multicultural parish in Los
Angeles, a chaplain in the Los Angeles Police Department, a biker, and an
unabashedly proud and fulfilled individual.
“I had a career that I enjoyed, but I thrive with my vocation,” said Father
Frank. “I am totally committed to my ministry. I’m doing what I think
I’m called to do. I’m interacting with people who are in need.”

“THROUGH AA, I FOUND THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ADVERSARIAL GOD. I HAD AN ALLY.”
Sometimes that ministry takes place from the seat of a motorcycle.
All of his adult life, Father Frank has collected Harley-Davidsons
— he also owns a fire engine-red 1951 British MGTD Mark II
convertible — using them as both a diversion and a tool.
He rides with current and retired police officers around the hills of
L.A. and on weekend trips to San Luis Obispo and Death Valley.
“You can talk to (police) at the station, but they’re not going to
share the same things they would when they’re with you on a ride
for three or four days,” said Father Frank. “They develop a familiarity that makes it easy for them to talk to me.”
Father Frank began his career with the Peace Corps after graduating
from Providence College with a bachelor’s degree in political
science. He spent four years in rural Thailand, working on community development. It was there his love for motorcycles began with a
Honda that carried him to remote areas and through rice paddies.
Upon returning to the U.S., he joined the Department of Justice’s
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). He was appointed
to the U.S. Border Patrol at Fort Hancock, Texas, where he bought
his first motorcycle with his third paycheck. He later transferred
to Criminal Investigations in Los Angeles and rose through the
ranks over a 23-year career, thanks in part to his ability to speak
Thai and Lao.
Later in his career, he was assigned to the U.S. Attorney’s office for
Asian organized crime, working with several other agencies. His primary thrust was the Thai community and Asian drug smuggling.
One of the positions Father Frank, second from left, held during his
23-year federal government career was that of U.S. Border Patrol
agent. Here he is pictured with three classmates from the Border Patrol
Academy in 1970.
“I enjoyed the challenge: enforcing the law, making cases, going to
trial, being a witness, things of that sort,” he said.
A REVELATION
But in 1989, Father Frank came to the realization that he no longer
had control over his consumption of alcohol.
“Here I was interviewing people suspected of being on duty
under the influence of alcohol, and I wasn’t too many steps
from them,” he said. “I came to the conclusion I just could
not stop. There seemed to be a kind of divine intervention.”
He came back to Rhode Island and checked into an alcohol treatment center. He was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)
and spent a month in outpatient treatment.
At the time he was “somewhat agnostic.”
“It was out of desperation I turned back to the God of my under-
standing, the God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob. Through AA,
I found that I did not have an adversarial God. I had an ally,”
he explained.
“So often growing up in a 1940s, Irish-Catholic, New England
household, God was used adversarially. You know: ‘You do this,
he’s going to punish you.’ Compassion was not one of the strong
suits. I found a loving, supportive God, and that’s the God I’ve
carried into my ministry. I found out I could say to a person, ‘I’ve
walked in your shoes and you’ve walked in mine, so let’s walk
together.’”
Father Frank attributes his vocation directly to becoming sober.
“I was enjoying my sobriety, and I had this sense that came to
me, ‘If you think you have it good now, do I have something
planned for you.’ It was as subtle as that. I had this sense God

had something better for me to do,” he said.
With three years left until retirement from the INS, Father Frank
knew he had to make a choice about his life. He prayed on his
calling and discussed it with his parish priest, a Benedictine. He
retired just shy of his 52nd birthday and spent a year of discernment at St. Gregory’s Benedictine Abbey in Shawnee, Okla.

PROTECTIVE ORDER OF ELKS
“I had the intention of remaining in the Benedictine community,
but I discerned that my vocation was calling me more toward be-
BOARD MEMBER,
ing a diocesan priest,” he recalled. “I needed to be active in the
community, dealing with people, dealing with their problems on
MCINTYRE HOUSE RECOVERY CENTER
a regular basis and sharing whatever talents I had.”
Returning to Los Angeles, he began to doubt himself until he
spoke with Grace McGeehy, a member of his parish council. She
asked about his plans, and he told her he was considering applying to St. John’s Seminary at Camarillo.

“I knew immediately, then and there, that is exactly what I’m
supposed to do,” said Father Frank. “All the apprehension, all
the absurdity, all the self-doubt, all that just seemed to evapo-

rate. I applied, and the rest is history. I’ve never looked back.”
Many years later, he discovered McGeehy’s prayer life was dedicated to praying for vocations.

Among Father Frank’s favorite roles is that of director of the Cardinal
McIntyre Fund for Charity, which raises money for basic needs of
the poor — food, electricity, heat, burying the dead. It doesn’t matter
if you’re a parishioner.
“My idea is, Jesus Christ wouldn’t have said, ‘You don’t come to
my church.’ I don’t think so! We cover everyone we possibly can,”
he said.
Father Frank calls his priestly calling “the ultimate” in his life’s journey.
His parish, St. Basil’s in Los Angeles, has more than 5,500 families.
POURING HIS ENERGY INTO HIS MINISTRY
Father Frank was ordained in 2000 and assigned to Holy Trinity
Parish in San Pedro. He quickly accepted many assignments within
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which is by far the largest archdiocese in the U.S. with more than 5 million Catholics.
Life is more fulfilling now, and he calls his ministry “the ultimate.”
As pastor of St. Basil Catholic Church in Los Angeles, Father Frank
ministers to 5,500 families — a culturally rich and diverse group of
Filipinos, Koreans, and Central American Hispanics.
Baptisms, marriages, and Masses are said in Spanish, Korean, and
English, and it’s a community centered on outreach. It’s not unusual to have 45 adult baptisms at once, and the record is 125.
He also ministers to priests throughout the archdiocese who have
substance abuse issues. He conducts AA meetings and helps them
through the transition he has made.
“I get up in the morning and dress in my clerics, and that’s it for
the day — that’s my uniform, and that’s who I am,” he said. “I am
a 24/7 Catholic priest working in my parish, and by extension,
outside my parish. I just gave my 87th unit of blood platelets at
City of Hope [a cancer research hospital]. Every time I go, I go
with Roman collar on and they know who and what I am. We get
enough bad publicity; people should see there are those of us out
there doing the best we can.”
Because of his law enforcement background, Father Frank was
asked by the archdiocese to become chaplain for the Los Angeles
police shortly after his ordination. It’s an aspect of his ministry that
enables him to give back to officers who put their lives on the line.
“My role is to walk with them, to advise them when they want
to be advised, to lift them up, to pray for them,” he said. “Any
time they have a rally for a fallen officer, I do the invocation and
then I ride with them. They appreciate it, and you get a much
closer relationship. It helps develop a rapport and enhances my
ministry to them.”
He also continues his decades-long association with the Victor
McAllen Motorcycle Stunt and Drill Team, which raises money for
charity. He is now the chaplain and performs with other members
on occasion.
Father Frank’s lifelong dedication to giving back is also demonstrated by his generosity to PC.
“The Lord has been very good to me financially,” he said, so he
has established a scholarship in his parents’ name and included the
College in his estate plan.
He credits PC with giving him a logical, philosophical foundation
and analytical skills that were not only helpful in his career, but in
his life choices.
“Providence College,” he said, “gave me the ability to listen, to be
true to what I was being exposed to and not turn away from it, but
embrace it and find out exactly where I was called to be.” 

THE PROVIDENCE COLLEGE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS BEGAN THE
ACADEMIC YEAR WITH ITS LONG-SOUGHT INTERNATIONAL
ACCREDITATION IN PLACE AND A NEW DEAN DEDICATED TO
ADVANCING ITS PROGRESS.
AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools
of Business, awarded the business school accreditation following a meticulous internal review and evaluation accomplished by faculty and
administrators. The distinction, considered the “gold standard” for
college business programs, is held by only 30 percent of all business
schools in the United States and 5 percent worldwide.
It was an achievement for all involved, especially the business school
faculty who worked toward it for more than eight years.
“AACSB accreditation involved a significant commitment from
School of Business faculty, particularly during the last five years,” said
Dr. Patrick T. Kelly, associate professor of accountancy, department
chair, and former interim dean of the business school. “Every faculty member was involved in the process, which included service on
one or more accreditation-related committees, assessment of student
learning, and evaluation of our program.”
The new dean, Dr. Sylvia Maxfield, professor of management, brings
a background in both business and higher education. She is a former senior sovereign analyst and vice president at Lehman Brothers
and former director of the MBA and Principled Leadership programs
at Simmons College. Maxfield holds an elite rank herself — only
18 percent of business schools in the United States were headed by
women last year, according to the AACSB.
Maxfield is joined at the administrative level by Dr. Christine E. Earley,
professor of accountancy, who this year will be interim associate dean
for faculty and curriculum. The school — which is comprised of the
undergraduate disciplines in accountancy, finance, management, and
marketing, and the graduate-level MBA Program — also plans to add
an assistant dean for student affairs and impact assessment.
GREAT EXPECTATIONS
Maxfield “has a really good vision of what she wants to do,” said
William F. Markey, Jr. ’62, chair of the Business Advisory Council,
a group of 50 alumni and business leaders who serve as a resource
for the business school. “She’s going to move forward quickly. Dean
Maxfield would love to raise the bar and to really be looked at as a
top-tier business school with a very solid reputation.”
One of Maxfield’s first goals is to secure the business school a home. A
committee of faculty and staff has developed a plan to convert Dore
Hall, a residence hall, into a business school.

— WILLIAM F. MARKEY, JR. ’62, BUSINESS ADVISORY COUNCIL CHAIR
“The minute we get a lead gift, we’re ready to go,” said Maxfield. “It’s
a wonderful opportunity for a friend of the College to be associated
with a business school that over the next five years will be increasingly
noted for being unique and creative in integrating the humanities and
liberal arts with business education.”
Maxfield also is leading the nationwide search for a professor who will
be the first to hold the Michael A. Ruane Endowed Chair for Innovation in Business Education.
Dr. Sylvia Maxfield
Michael A. Ruane ’71, chair of the Board of Trustees, donated
$2 million to establish the chair. It will be held by a “passionate and
dedicated teacher” at the full- or associate-professor level who will
work “collaboratively to support teaching innovation by everyone on
the faculty and support learning outcomes,” Maxfield said.
The College’s new Core Curriculum, which took effect this fall, is
an opportunity for the PCSB to further integrate the liberal arts and
business, she said.
“Our goal is to have as great a number of students studying as many
subjects as possible. We want to build more organic connections to the
humanities and the liberal arts,” said Maxfield.
She noted that the revised Development of Western Civilization Program calls for students in the final sequence to consider a contemporary issue and how to apply classical thought to its resolution.
(CONTINUED)
Business Advisory Council, a group
of alumni and business leaders, forms
to advise faculty, raise funds,
mentor students.
“I’m very hopeful we will be able to have up to 25 percent of our
School of Business faculty teaching jointly with humanities faculty in
those colloquia,” Maxfield said.
Maxfield said she wants to make sure that business students have the
opportunity to study abroad because international travel is an important part of the College’s education.
She also sees an opportunity to highlight the business school’s growing
visibility in the area of ethical leadership and social responsibility in
finance and accounting.
Susan M. Esper ’91, a member of the Business Advisory Council, said
Maxfield has “an extraordinary vision” for the business school.
“To bring together two great things — the Dominican tradition and
a liberal arts education — and to be among the very elite group of
business schools in the country, you are going to have the best and
brightest leaders coming out of campus,” said Esper. 
Dr. MaryJane Lenon, associate professor of economics, named interim
dean, guiding accreditation process through a critical phase.
AACSB team visits PC and evaluates business curriculum, faculty qualifications and scholarship, the M.B.A. Program, and learning assessments.
Dr. Sylvia Maxfield appointed dean.

ALUMNI HAVE ALWAYS SUPPORTED BUSINESS PROGRAMS AT
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE. THEY RETURN TO CAMPUS TO SPEAK
AND MENTOR STUDENTS, THEY HIRE GRADUATES AND OFFER
INTERNSHIPS, AND THEY SERVE ON THE BUSINESS ADVISORY
COUNCIL.
In 2000, a push from alumni set the College on a course to establish
a separate business school and to gain accreditation by AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
Kenneth G. Kraetzer ’79 realized the benefits of accreditation while
studying for an M.B.A. at Iona College, which was in the process of
attaining it. Kraetzer knew the distinction would benefit PC, too.
“Ken, when he gets on a mission, is one of those people who is kind
of like a dog on a bone,” said E. James Mulcahy ’66, chairman of
the College’s National Board of Overseers. “He is very loyal to the
College, very cognizant of what it needs, just a smart guy. He did
whatever he could to push it.”
“You can’t be a big-league college without it,” said Kraetzer. “It went
from being a nice thing to a necessity.”
“Ken wanted to do it, but he didn’t know how to do it,” said Lamy.
“He didn’t have the contacts. Since he knew me well from being on
the New York Club, he asked me to help him. Canavan was the third
person in the car. He was the implementation part of it.”
In those days, all of PC’s undergraduate business departments —
accountancy, finance, management, and marketing — operated
independently, overseen by a vice president for academic administration, Dr. Thomas L. Canavan.
In 2003, the business faculty voted to pursue accreditation. In 2004,
after the four business disciplines were organized under a Division of
Business Administration, Dr. Hugh F. Lena, provost and senior vice
president for academic affairs, began overseeing the process.
To achieve accreditation would require reorganization and a yearslong commitment from faculty, staff, and administrators.
In 2007, with Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 as president, the College
established the School of Business with its first full-time dean.
To gain support for his accreditation proposal, Kraetzer enlisted the
help of alumni on the Board of Trustees, including Alfred A. Lamy
’53. Both were members of the New York Club of the National
Alumni Association. Lamy arranged for them to travel to Providence
and make their pitch to Canavan.
Last July, when accreditation was awarded, Dr. Patrick T. Kelly, associate professor of accountancy and then interim dean of the business
school, reported an outpouring of congratulations from alumni.
Canavan, while supportive, cautioned that the process would take
many years. He needed the endorsement of then-College President
Rev. Philip A. Smith, O.P. ’63 and the commitment of faculty, who
ultimately would be responsible for the effort. But Kraetzer, who
gathered a dozen alumni on a committee to garner support for the
idea, was persistent.
“It validates who we are and what we are,” said trustee Kevin C.
Phelan ’66, a member of the Business Advisory Council who was
involved in the early effort. “It moves us into a league that we believe
we should be in and are now in, as validated by our peers. As a trustee,
as an alum, as a business school alum, I’m very pleased.” 
ST. DOMINIC WEEKEND

the College’s influence in his life.

ST. DOMINIC WEEKEND
ON A WEEKEND FILLED WITH PROGRAMMING AND MESSAGES OF GRATITUDE AND THE
ANNOUNCEMENT OF A MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR BEQUEST, PROVIDENCE COLLEGE HELD ITS
TRUMP CARD UNTIL THE CLOSING ACT — RISING CATHOLIC MEDIA STAR MATT WEBER ’06,
WHO EMPHATICALLY PROVED IT’S OK TO RETURN HOME.
Weber’s comedic, but stirring, affirmation of Catholicism warranted
a standing ovation at the St. Dominic Evening of Appreciation that
capped a record-setting St. Dominic Weekend on October 12-13. The
two days of events, programs, and receptions drew more benefactors
and guests — more than 500 attended — than ever in the weekend’s
four-year history.
St. Dominic Weekend honors the College’s leading benefactors in the
St. Dominic Society (annual giving), the Harkins Society (planned giving), and the 1917 Society (lifetime giving). This year’s theme, “Your
Leadership. Your Impact.”, celebrated how generosity has transformed
the learning experience for students and impacted the lives of the entire
College community.
“Your leadership giving impact has made Providence College a great
place,” College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 told guests.
“This weekend is a tremendous blessing.”
“From all of the Dominicans here, you are a blessing and a prayer to
us,” he added.
The Evening of Appreciation, held at the Rhode Island Convention
Center in Providence, featured these highlights:

Father Shanley announced a bequest of approximately $6.5 million
from the estate of the late Robert H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon. The
gift will endow the College’s first academic chair in the sciences
and add millions of dollars to a scholarship fund and an academic
fund in chemistry and the biological sciences. (See story on pages
22-23.)
A seven-minute video conveyed testimonies of gratitude and the
tangible impacts of philanthropy from students, faculty members,
and administrators.
Nine of 16 new members were inducted into the 1917 Society,
and four 1917 Society members were acknowledged for advancing
from the Bronze Torchbearer to Silver Torchbearer status, signifying lifetime giving of at least $500,000.
Harkins Society members — including 17 who are new to the
society this year — were recognized for including PC in their
estate plans.

SHOW-STOPPING PERFORMANCE
Introduced by Father Shanley as a “gifted communicator,” Weber was
an American studies major and a film minor at PC. He has since
earned two master’s degrees, including one from the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where he serves as new and social media
officer.
Weber hosts and produces the school’s education podcast, The Harvard
EdCast; hosts A Word with Weber on CatholicTV; and recently wrote
his first book, Fearing the Stigmata (Loyola Press, 2012), a series of
entertaining essays on Catholicism.
Weber took guests on a rollicking story-telling ride about his journey
from PC to Harvard, where he found out early in his graduate classes
that his proud Catholic faith “didn’t fit into the intellectualism.”
While he said there was only curiosity behind the motives of fellow
students, they frequently questioned him about his faith. He reeled
off five “examples” of his peers’ questions to the bemused audience,
including, “If you have a sore throat, do you gargle holy water?”
Weber now has made nearly 90 segments that anchor CatholicTV’s
Clearvoice newsmagazine show, and his essays appear weekly on A
Word with Weber. Furthermore, a representative of Loyola Press called
him, leading to an offer and the publishing of Fearing the Stigmata.
Weber admitted he had never been questioned about his religion during his adult life. It made him think, at age 26, how he could answer
questions on Catholicism for young adults and perhaps lead a new
perspective on young Catholic imagination.
Weber’s foray into Catholic media is “a rare gift … reminiscent of experiencing the gift of Providence College,” he said. “… At my core, I
have learned from this Order of Preachers how to preach, how to teach,
and how to inspire through story … to believe in simply that which is
good and that which is true.”
With CatholicTV, the national cable channel, just a few miles from
Harvard, he reached out to the president and general manager. On his
first interview, he showed them a two-minute video on why he stops
at a statue of Mary when riding his bike home. The video was “funny,
faith filled, and ‘educative,’” he said. The executives, one misty eyed,
were overwhelmed and requested more.
“Boy, I was lucky to find this place,” added Weber. “... Here, among all
of you, I must say it’s good to be home.” 

ST. DOMINIC WEEKEND
THE QUOTES — INTERSPERSED WITH STUDENTLIFE IMAGES — THAT PLAYED OUT ON THE
SCREENS IN THE PETERSON RECREATION CENTER
WERE SNIPPETS OF GRATITUDE THAT BELIED A
Annual Scholarship Donor Luncheon
DEEPER CIRCUMSTANCE OR STORY.
“College was a dream, until I came to PC,” said one.
AN INVESTMENT IN TOMORROW
By CHARLES C. JOYCE
“You are giving me more than an education … you’re providing
a future of opportunity,” said another.
These and similar heartfelt notes written by student recipients
to benefactors underscored the impact of philanthropy on
Providence College and its students at the “Offering Opportunity and Investing in Tomorrow’s Leaders” scholarship donor luncheon during St. Dominic Weekend. The annual event,
where students sit alongside donors, celebrated St. Dominic
Society members and their generosity to PC’s Endowed Scholarship Program, Torch Scholarship Program, Angel Fund, and
PC Fund.
In a program permeated by emotion and stories, Lisa M.
Bousquet ’86 & ’15P, senior associate vice president for institutional advancement, reminded guests that providing students with an affordable Catholic and Dominican education
is PC’s chief mission. She said the generosity of benefactors
has led to the creation of more than 380 endowed funds.
Furthermore, Bousquet related that in the most recent fiscal year:
•
Eighteen new scholarship funds were established.
•
Active scholarship funds resulted in more than $3.1 million
in financial aid being distributed to more than 500 students.
•
Four new Torch Scholarships ($20,000 grants spread out
over four years) were established.
•
More than $700,000 was donated to the Angel Fund,
bringing the emergency fund for students and families in
sudden financial distress to within sight of the cumulative
$2 million mark in just its third year.
A video featuring Haley Chapman ’15 (Hampton, Conn.), a
Voll Torch Scholarship recipient, and Sandra Oliveira, executive director of financial aid, put the value of financial aid into
meaning. Chapman expressed amazement at how someone
she didn’t know could help her meet college expenses and proclaimed, “I am so confident in my choice to come here.”
Oliveira noted that PC and her staff are ever mindful of “the idea of linking
that dream to reality.”
WEEKEND SNAPSHOT
College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 said it is stories like
Chapman’s that “tug at my heart.” He said it is the College’s goal to
one day meet 100 percent of student need. Expressing appreciation for
donors’ ongoing support, he said providing financial aid “is the most
important thing you could do for PC.”
SCHOLARSHIPS “ADD HAPPY ENDINGS”
Sharing her story as the luncheon’s keynote speaker was Sharon T. Driscoll
’80 & ’16P, a PC trustee who is vice president for marketing and communications/global enterprise at IBM.
Driscoll relived College memories, recalling the day her freshman year
her father and mother helped her move in to McVinney Hall and how
the next four years “greatly transformed” her.
She said her PC education was profoundly impacted by Dr. Cemal A.
Ekin, now retired professor of marketing, and several Dominicans who
were teachers or administrators, including the late Rev. Thomas H.
McBrien, O.P., Rev. Robert A. Morris, O.P. ’44, the late Rev. Francis C.
Duffy, O.P. ’53, Rev. John S. Peterson, O.P. ’57, and Rev. Thomas J.
Ertle, O.P. ’51 & ’82G.

DOZEN EVENTS held,
including a presentation by CNN senior political analyst David Gergen, receptions, campus trolley tours, a

luncheon, presentations by the 2012 Fr. Philip A. Smith,
It is important that PC students continue to be supported through financial aid in order to be influenced by outstanding faculty and Dominicans,
said Driscoll. She said her son, Griffin ’16, and a friend recently were
talking about a new friend who had expressed concern about leaving PC
after the first semester because his family had exhausted all of its means.
O.P. Fellows, and the Evening of Appreciation
“These scholarship funds help add happy endings to many of these difficult stories,” she stated.
90 percent of total private funds raised by PC in fiscal
1,800 St. Dominic Society members
collectively donated $16 MILLION , which is
More than
year 2011-2012
After her father died in April, Driscoll and her sister, Susan T. Smith ’83,
decided that the best way to keep his spirit alive — and some day, their
mother’s, she added — was to establish the Treacy Family Scholarship
Fund in her parents’ names. The decision, she said, has given her peace of
mind, knowing she will assist future students who will “build a beautiful
PC mosaic.” 

Decades after benefiting from a Dominican’s
generosity to complete his education, an
alumnus left the College an approximately
$6.5 million bequest to establish an academic
chair and foster research and scholarship in
chemistry and the biological sciences.
Through his gift, which was announced during the recent St. Dominic Weekend (see pages 15-21), the late Robert H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon. endowed the
College’s first academic chair in the sciences and added funds to the previously
established Robert H. Walsh Scholarship Fund and the Robert H. Walsh ’39
Academic Fund. When the final distribution of Mr. Walsh’s estate is complete,
each fund will total more than $2 million.
Mr. Walsh, a Platinum Torchbearer for gifts of $1 million and above in PC’s 1917
Society, is one of the College’s all-time leading benefactors. He died last year.
Above: Robert H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon.
Far right: Hilary Chase ’13 conducts research on iron
pentacarbonyls in a Hickey Hall laboratory. She is a Robert
H. Walsh Scholarship recipient.
As an undergraduate, the Rhode Island native felt a great debt of gratitude to the
late Rev. Frederick C. Hickey, O.P., then chair of the Department of Chemistry
and later vice president for community affairs, said Joseph P. Brum ’68, special
assistant to the president for development projects in the Office of Institutional
Advancement. The Dominican allowed Mr. Walsh to work on campus as a lab
attendant to pay his tuition.
“He credited Father Hickey with his success not only as a great teacher,” Brum said. Father Hickey “went out of his way to help with the
job in the lab and as a mentor.”
After graduating with degrees in business and chemistry, Mr. Walsh
began a 40-year career at the DuPont Chemical Corp. as one of the
founders of its elastomers department. Company officials noted his
knack for sales and put him in charge of sales and marketing in Europe.
In 1996, he established his scholarship fund for chemistry majors
with financial need. That year, the College honored Mr. Walsh, the
late Samuel J. Chester ’34 & ’94Hon., and the late Rev. Charles
V. Reichart, O.P. ’32 by dedicating the Albertus Magnus Science
Complex to them.
Brum met with Mr. Walsh regularly at his homes in Delaware and
Pennsylvania, often accompanied by the president or other officials
from the College. Mr. Walsh would give them handwritten notes
with ideas to improve academic programs at PC. One was his academic fund, which will fund student and faculty enrichment outside
of the classroom, such as travel to academic conferences.
RAISING THE RESEARCH AND LEARNING BAR
Dr. Paul T. Czech, professor of chemistry and chair of the chemistry and biochemistry department, said his colleagues and he hope to
provide more research opportunities for students through summer
stipends for faculty and students as well as financial support to present work at scientific meetings.
The department also plans to purchase supplies for freshmen and
sophomores to work on research projects for credit — opportunities
available for the first time this year. With additional funds, those students can “get their feet wet at a lower level,” said Czech.
Hilary Chase ’13 (South Sandwich, Mass.) is a Walsh Scholarship
recipient and president of PC’s American Chemical Society/Phi Chi
chapter. As a researcher in the lab of Dr. Christopher M. Laperle,
assistant professor of chemistry, she knows how powerful research
opportunities can be.
In April, Chase won honors for her presentation on the solution
dynamics of iron pentacarbonyl — a center metal atom bound
by five carbon monoxide molecules — at the American Chemical
Society’s national conference. She is the lead author on a paper
that is being submitted this fall to a scientific journal.
“You take AWAY SO MUCH NEW
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE
by attending different talks, presenting
your own research, and by interacting
with other scientists …”
— HILARY CHASE ’13
She plans to continue her research in graduate school. “For me, physical chemistry research is one of the most challenging things I have done
as an undergrad,” Chase said. “I’ve gained valuable experience that I
would not have been able to obtain in a classroom setting alone.”
The senior said she appreciates the donations from Mr. Walsh. “I’m
just proud that he has put all this effort into our education,” she said.
Chase was particularly grateful for the opportunity to travel to conferences. At these meetings, “You take away so much new knowledge
and experience by attending different talks, presenting your own research, and by interacting with other scientists in different aspects of
chemistry.”
Another Walsh Scholarship recipient, Giovanni Esposito ’14 (Branford, Conn.), is preparing for medical school while serving as a member of the Friars Club and president of the A Cappella Club. Last
summer, he interned for a chemical manufacturer.
“I know that my education at Providence wouldn’t be possible without the generous donation from Mr. Walsh,” he said. “All I can hope
is that I can be at the point in my life to give back and pay it forward.
I know how much of an impact it’s made in my own education. I
would love to be able to make the same impact in someone else’s.” 

EXPLICITLY ENTREPRENEURIAL
ERIN O’MALLEY ’13

The brightly patterned shoulder bags, wristlets,
head wraps, and bangles sold by Njabini Apparel are
simple accessories, but they’re making it possible for
eight women in a small African village to support
their families.
The mothers of Njabini, Kenya, have a source of income thanks to Erin O’Malley ’13 (Milton, Mass.),
a management major at Providence College.
In January 2011, O’Malley volunteered with Flying
Kites, a non-profit organization operating an orphanage and school in Njabini. There she met Michael
Behan, a student at Northeastern University, who was
responsible for directing Flying Kites’ community outreach program.
Erin O’Malley ’13 displays some of the Kenyan women’s
crafts on campus last spring.
Together, they created Njabini Apparel — renting
a workshop, sourcing local materials, and hiring disabled mothers to sew bags and wristlets, knit hats and
scarves, and make sandals from recycled tires.

EXPLICITLY ENTREPRENEURIAL
Behan, the chief executive officer, and O’Malley, the marketing
director, began selling the goods online at www.njabiniapparel.org
and used a consolidated shipping container from Kenya Airways
to bring the items to the United States.
When O’Malley returned to PC in September 2011, she brought
with her a car full of Njabini Apparel products and a newfound
passion for social entrepreneurship.
At first, she found customers among her classmates, at home parties, and at festivals and farmers markets. More recently, Njabini
Apparel has been introduced in retail stores in Saratoga, N.Y.;
Fairfield, Conn.; Portsmouth, N.H.; Newport, R.I.; and Boston,
providing a steady stream of income for the company.
O’Malley also found an important ally in Dr. Matthew Eriksen,
professor of management, who became her advisor. Though an
undergraduate, she took his M.B.A. course on social entrepreneurship as a directed study. She also developed a proposal, now
pending before the Faculty Senate, to create a minor in social
entrepreneurship for students.
Last spring, three marketing classes taught by special lecturer
Edward Gonsalves competed to create the best video promoting
Njabini Apparel. O’Malley and Behan, who were among the judges,
plan to use all three on their website.
O’Malley spent the summer in Kenya, and Behan returned there
this fall. A Njabini native, Tom Mwangi, manages in-country
operations for them. Under the company’s profit-sharing model,
50 percent of gross profits is returned to the women as salary, 20
percent is donated to Flying Kites, and 30 percent is reinvested in
financial literacy and business training programs.
In June, through revenue and a grant, Njabini Apparel launched a
pilot credit program, offering the mothers access to loans for the first
time. Both the credit and financial training programs “enable the
mothers to leverage their income, invest in their own businesses, and
empower them to become self-sufficient,” O’Malley said.
The company also leased two acres of farmland so that another 10
women in the village can earn income through harvesting. Profits
from the crop sales will fund Njabini’s program development. The
company also brought representatives of a national bank to the
village to offer weekly sessions on personal budgeting, savings, and
debt management.
In September, O’Malley traveled to Youth Trade Seattle 2012 to pitch
her company’s product line and business model at a trade show that
matches young entrepreneurs with large-scale retailers. She signed a
contract with Whole Foods Markets to sell Njabini Apparel in 14
stores in the Pacific Northwest and four stores in Canada.
“It’s a dichotomy of feelings for me. The past year and a half has
been both the most energizing and most humbling period of my
life,” said O’Malley. “We’ve grown from one woman, knitting hats
and scarves, to eight women, employed every day. Their children are
enrolled full time in school, their path to financial literacy has begun,
and their businesses are in incubation. There’s a long road ahead, and
I’m thrilled to see where it will lead us.” 

FIVE BUSINESSES SHOW PC’S INNOVATIVE SIDE
Stephen Squillante Jr. ’12 invented the Teecil (www.teecil.com)
out of frustration. After too many moments wasted on the golf
course while his father fumbled for either his golf pencil or a
tee, the management major told himself, “I might as well make
both of them into one.” He made the first prototypes the summer before his junior year at PC. Then, while conducting market research for a course, Squillante discovered that 2 billion
tees are used annually in the United States. He went into business the
following summer, manufacturing each Teecil by hand in his garage. But he couldn’t keep up with demand — it took him 10 to 12
hours to manufacture 1,000. The Weymouth, Mass., resident now
uses a custom-designed machine to make up to 10,000 a day. He
has shown the Teecil at trade shows and estimates he has sold about
50,000 since graduation.
Chris Riccobono ’01
launched UNTUCKit, a
New York-based company
that specializes in men’s
button-down shirts meant
to be worn with their tails
out. “For as long as I can
remember, I couldn’t find
a button-down shirt that
wasn’t too long when untucked,” he said. And 95
percent of the men he surveyed agreed. Riccobono worked with 11 shirt specialists and 30
samples before hitting on a workable fit. “No one understood how
to factor in length,” said the finance major, who earned an M.B.A.
at Columbia Business School. Riccobono said 35 percent of his customers are repeat buyers of the shirts, which retail (www.untuckit.
com) from $79 to $129.
Dinos Stamoulis ’07, who played professional hockey for three years after college, and his wife, Katelyn (Auclair)
Stamoulis ’07, a gourmet cook, launched Paleonola (www.paleonola.com), a line of grain-free granola, in spring 2011.
Katelyn developed the recipe in her kitchen as part of the couple’s commitment to the “Paleo” diet, which includes wild
meats, organic vegetables, nuts, and seeds, but no grains, dairy products, or legumes. The granola is sold online and in
natural food markets, including Whole Foods Markets in Rhode Island. Offered in flavors that include Original, Chocolate Fix, Maple Pancake, Apple Pie, and Pumpkin Pie, the granola can be eaten straight from the bag.
In the fall of 2011, Nathan Holterman ’13 (River Forest, Ill.) joined college
students in a four-month trip by sea around the world, stopping in 14 countries
in Africa, Asia, and Central America. After returning home, Holterman and two
friends created Serengetee (www.serengetee.com), a company that sells T-shirts and
tank tops, each containing a breast pocket made with fabric from a country they
visited. The company donates a portion of its sales to a charity in each country.
Holterman, a humanities major who is Serengetee’s head cause coordinator, said
that since the startup launched in February, more than $2,000 has been given
to charities in Tanzania, Mexico, and Haiti. Online sales have reached 2,000
shirts a month. Serengetee imports fabric, buys shirts wholesale from an American manufacturer, and employs tailors in California to sew on the pockets. Its
slogan: “Wear the World.” “We were inspired by the world,” said Holterman.
“We wanted to give back to the world we came to love.”
Yasso, the first frozen Greek yogurt bars in the nation, are the creation of Amanda Klane ’08, a management major and soccer player. The bars
arrived in supermarket freezers in March 2011 after Klane and her business partner, Drew Harrington, with help from chemists at the University
of Nebraska, found a way to freeze Greek yogurt and keep it on a stick. The fat-free and gluten-free bars, in blueberry, strawberry, and raspberry,
have 70 calories and 6 grams of protein. Klane’s Boston-based company, Apollo Food Group (www.teamyasso.com), has introduced a line of Yasso
Smoothies at Sam’s Club, Costco, and BJ’s. The company has 15 employees and supports several charities. Klane’s advice: “Don’t be afraid to test
your instincts and your ideas and go for it. You have to be willing to take the risk if you believe in your product.” 

A GROUP OF 26 MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OF 2016 STARTED THEIR
UNDERGRADUATE CAREERS IN LATE AUGUST WIELDING PAINT
ROLLERS AND YOGA BALLS, GAINING A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING
OF THE CITY BEYOND CAMPUS.
FaithWorks participants signed up for five days of service-immersion, assisting social service organizations affiliated
with the Diocese of Providence and reflecting on their experiences afterward. The new program, developed as part of
the Strategic Plan by the Office of Mission and Ministry, stems from the College’s Catholic and Dominican mission
of fostering community, service, and solidarity for its students.
Based in Providence, the freshmen painted a men’s dormitory at Emmanuel House, a shelter for the homeless, and
participated in a fitness class with older adults and their grandchildren at the St. Martin de Porres Center for seniors.
They also met with refugee families and reviewed citizenship information with clients at Immigration & Family
Services, learned more about the mission of the Office of Life & Family Ministry, and visited Rhode Island Department of Corrections facilities at the state prison in Cranston.

— DOTTY PERREAULT OF EMMANUEL HOUSE
Students painting at Emmanuel House appreciated the opportunity to get settled at school and in their new city.
“It’s great to get on campus early and get to know people,” said
Kristen Gold ’16 (Somers, N.Y.) “I’m not going to be one of
those people who’s going to be closed up on campus.”
Gold said during high school she had traveled to Kentucky for
mission trips that offered vacation bible school and opportunities to visit with seniors and distribute resources such as clothes
to those in need.
Through FaithWorks, “we’re not just doing work,” Gold said.
“This is immersion.”
Giselle Bonilla ’16 (Hyde Park, Mass.) also has an impressive
record of community service that includes culling dead trees in
Colorado and working in a Rwandan orphanage. “I wanted to
be more involved in the community of Providence,” she said of
FaithWorks.
Emmanuel House’s site director, Dotty Perreault, said it was
once home to a daycare center run by the diocese but remained
empty for six years before reopening as a day shelter.
UNDERSTANDING NEIGHBORS
The students started off the service program with tours of the
Smith Hill neighborhood to introduce them to the history of
the local community, said Richard Lumley, one of the campus
ministers overseeing the program. Teens from the YouthRAP
program of the Smith Hill Development Corporation led the
walks with FaithWorks student coordinators and staff.
The group learned about the history of Irish, Armenian, and
Jewish immigrants, as well as more recent arrivals from Southeast
Asia, Central America, and Africa. It also visited nonprofit
organizations dedicated to assisting underprivileged residents.
Stephen Beck ’16 (Wilton, Conn.) said he appreciated the
chance to get to know the areas surrounding PC. “If we didn’t
do the tour, there would be parts of Providence we would have
never gotten to see,” Beck said.
For some students, their experience in the program confirmed
that they had made the right college decision.
“I’ve only been in Providence a total of 48 hours and I already
love it here,” said Abbey Guerino ’16 (Milford, Conn.). “I feel
like we’ve formed a community in just two days.” 
Perreault described the work performed by the students as
“tremendous.” “It’s well overdue,” she said. “A fresh coat of paint
can lift people’s spirits.”

Robert Ferreira ’83, assistant vice president for alumni relations,
said Mr. Markus frequently expressed gratitude for the education
and support his three children experienced at the College: Kevin,
Katelyn ’09, and Daniel, who began his college education here.
“Mr. Markus wasn’t a PC alum, but between his children and his
longtime family friend, Sheila McEnery, he felt he was surrounded
by the PC community,” said Ferreira, who helped the group organize
the fundraiser.
“The family decided the best way to honor his gratitude and to
show their appreciation for the support that Kevin received, both
emotionally and through the Angel Fund, was to support the same
fund that supported the family in their time of need,” he added.
When Stephen P. Markus died suddenly last fall, his family and
friends were so moved by the support his son, Kevin ’15, received
from the Providence College community that they felt compelled
to give back.
So Mr. Markus’ wife, Lynn, and friends organized a golf tournament in his memory. The “Nine and Dine Charity Event,” held in
June at the Wheatley Hills Golf Club in the Markus’ hometown
of East Williston, N.Y., hosted 282 people for golf, dinner, and
live and silent auctions. It raised an incredible $105,000 for the
College’s Angel Fund.
The idea for an Angel Fund benefit gathered steam when two longtime friends of the Markus family, Sheila A. ’79 and Jerry McEnery,
approached Bob Gorman ’78, a PC trustee, about the logistics of
an event for the fund.
The Angel Fund provides emergency financial aid to students whose
families face unexpected and extraordinary financial challenges.
Kevin Markus had become a beneficiary of the fund after his father’s death.
Jerry McEnery, who was a high school classmate of Mr. Markus,
said a golf tournament was an obvious choice for a fund-raiser.
“Steve loved to play the game and enjoyed the camaraderie,” said
McEnery. “He loved what Providence College did for his children.
It was an easy decision.”
In addition to Jerry McEnery, chief organizers were Daniel Markus
and family friends Keith Hughes, Chris Sauvigne, Jerry Sauvigne,
and Jim Arseneault. Lynn Markus and several of the organizers’ wives
assisted in the planning and volunteered the day of the tournament.
Ferreira said the event’s success is a credit to the tireless work of Mr.
Markus’ family and friends.
“This group was a pleasure to work with, and so well organized,” he
said. “Their enthusiasm and dedication were remarkable.” 

Event” are, from left, Kevin Markus ’15; his brother, Daniel; his mother,

As Rhode Island’s first female public defender, Mary S. McElroy ’87 is
in good company.
When she was sworn in for her six-year appointment in July, a number
of the presiding judges of the state’s judiciary were present — many of
them women themselves. “That was unheard of even five years and 10
years ago,” McElroy said.
Ironically, the law was not her lifelong ambition. After graduating from
PC, she worked as a waitress and for the political campaign of former
R.I. Attorney General James E. O’Neil. The following year, she got a
job in his office as a paralegal in the public utilities regulation division.

McElroy enrolled at Suffolk University School of Law and, after graduating with cum laude honors, clerked for Judge Donald F. Shea of the
R.I. Supreme Court and joined a medical malpractice defense firm. She
then moved on to the Office of the Public Defender, where she stayed
for 12 years.
In her new role leading the Office of the Public Defender, the Rhode
Island native oversees 93 employees and a budget of $11 million. This
includes 49 attorneys who handle 20,000 cases a year. The office,
founded in 1941, provides legal representation for people who can’t
afford it.
“Ultimately, the state accuses and we defend,” she said. “If you’re forced
to defend yourself with your own resources and you don’t have them,
then that accusation becomes much more powerful.”
As a student, she chose PC because of the Development of Western Civilization Program and the Liberal Arts Honors Program. In DWC, students
examine how everything connects — history, science, and literature.
“What I learned is that when you figure out how those things relate,
then you understand better how things happen. We do that every day as
public defenders,” she said. 

WYNN SCHOLARSHIP FUND
By LAURA DUNN
Paul F. Wynn, Esq. ’65 comes from a long line of Providence College
alumni. His father, two brothers, two sons, and a niece all attended PC.
In addition to their love for the College, Wynn’s family shares a strong
work ethic and a “can do” attitude. It was these values, reflected in the
drive of his physically disabled nephew, Derry Mason, that inspired him
to found the Paul F. ’65 Esq. and Linda Wynn Scholarship Fund in 1992.
Mason was born with a leg deformity as a result of his father’s exposure
to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. At age 14, tired of not being able to walk normally, he had his leg amputated in favor of a more
functional prosthetic. From then on, Wynn said, Mason never let the
handicap hold him back.
When Mason applied to Middlebury College, Wynn encouraged him
to inquire about scholarships for disabled students. There weren’t any,
but Mason continued his studies there nonetheless, graduating in 1997.
It was when his nephew was applying to college that Wynn decided to
set up just such a scholarship at PC.
For the past 20 years, it has helped to fund the education of students like
Mason who, despite the challenges of a physical disability and limited
financial resources, press on to achieve their goals.
Now in his mid-30s, Mason lives a life full of adventure. He’s the director of outdoor education at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, has
raced sailboats in Bermuda, and enjoys lacrosse, skiing, and rock and ice
climbing. Wynn is inspired by his nephew’s outlook and understands
the challenges of affording an education.
Wynn himself attended PC as a day student while working multiple
jobs, often hitchhiking to and from campus and work. To pay for his
education, he worked in a brickyard, at a grocery store, a pharmacy,
and as a night watchman. He never received financial aid. He said the
experience he had at PC helped shape his career as an attorney.
“The teachers I had were very good. They gave me a foundation for
my future. Besides teaching you how to think, they set up some moral
parameters, which continued past college,” he said.
Wynn has achieved great success since then and feels indebted to the
College for the foundation it gave him.
He is a founding partner of Wynn & Wynn, P.C. in Raynham, Mass.,
a law firm he started with his brother, Thomas J. Wynn, Jr., Esq. ’62,
in 1970. The firm has four offices with more than 30 lawyers. Active at
PC, he was a trustee for eight years and currently serves on the School
of Business Advisory Council and the Providence President’s Council.
“This scholarship, along with my continuing involvement with the
College, is my way of paying back the education I received there,”
he said. 
FUNDING STUDENTS’ FUTURES
Paul F. Wynn, Esq. ’65, whose endowed scholarship fund is valued at over $650,000, wants
people to know that donating to PC doesn’t have to be difficult or cost a lot of out-of-pocket
money. In addition to cash, Wynn contributes to his fund through:
• Gifts from appreciated stock. By giving this way, he receives a tax deduction for the charitable contribution and doesn’t have to pay capital gains taxes. So the donation, while substantial, doesn’t require any direct
out-of-pocket funding.
Paul F. and Linda Wynn
• A $1 million term life insurance policy, where Wynn is the insured, but PC is the policy owner and
beneficiary. He pays the policy premiums (about $6,800 per year) through appreciated stock, giving him the
same benefits as the direct cash gifts from appreciated stock.

WILL, DETERMINATION HELP THEROUX ’89 OVERCOME NEAR-PARALYZING ACCIDENT
By MIKE SCANDURA
Trent Theroux ’89 swims in the pool at PC’s Taylor Natatorium.
41
IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER 23,
2002, TRENT THEROUX ’89 SPENT HOURS
REFLECTING ON HOW HE COULD RECOVER
FROM A NEAR-PARALYZING ACCIDENT.
A four-year swimmer at PC, Theroux was kayaking that day
in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay. A speedboat plowed into
him. The propeller severed the major muscles in the left side
of his back and carved out five bones in his spinal column.
“I remember my feelings as if they were yesterday,” said
Theroux, who specialized in the backstroke. “Ten years have
gone by in a blink. I remember being in the water, the hospital, and the rehabilitation process.
“I convinced myself as I moved through everything on my
wish list that I could do the next one. Once I got to the
point of walking I said, ‘I can do this, and now I can do the
next one.’ Once I could climb a flight of stairs I said, ‘Let’s
do the next one.’”
Walking and climbing stairs is one thing. What the
Barrington, R.I., resident has done since completing his rehabilitation is another — well beyond the realm of a wish list.
Since 2004, he has accomplished the following: competed in two
Ironman triathlons; run in seven marathons; trained five days a
week at two local swim clubs; and created and completed “Back
to Block 2012” on September 8. He swam from Point Judith, on
Rhode Island’s coast, to Block Island — approximately 13 miles —
to raise more than $40,000 for RISE Against Paralysis.
Theroux’s determination throughout his rehabilitation and training
was relentless, but grueling.
“There were opposing forces within me,” said Theroux, a PC accountancy graduate who is the director of finance for an engineering firm and
an adjunct professor of graduate studies at Johnson & Wales University.
“My mind wanted to achieve something, but my body physically told
me to hold back the reins. My mind was soaring to where I wanted to go,
but it took a long time before my body would let me go.”
A positive influence throughout his rehab and training was his wife,
Jennifer. “She was extraordinarily supportive,” he said.
DETERMINED DEMEANOR
Those close to Theroux aren’t surprised by his accomplishments.
“He’s super-motivated to do what he can do to help people based on
what he’s been through,” said John O’Neill, PC men’s and women’s
swimming and diving head coach. “You see it in his eyes when you
look at him.
“He sets goals for himself and has gone right through them. It makes
sense in the bigger picture. He willed himself to return to health and
be able to accomplish things athletically.
“I can’t say enough about his willpower,” continued O’Neill. “You
combine that with the support of his family and there really isn’t a
limit to what an athlete can accomplish. The lofty goals he set can be
a powerful motivator.”
Jay Holbrook ’89, a teammate of Theroux’s, saw something during their PC years that convinced him Theroux could overcome
any obstacle.
“Trent’s always been somebody of exceptional talent,” he said. “The
best of the best compete against themselves in terms of how they
achieve their ultimate potential. It doesn’t surprise me that Trent’s
been a successful individual and has been able to overcome the
obstacles placed in front of him.
“He’s always loved and lived life to the fullest. When he gets passionate
about something, he attacks it with everything he has.”

Theroux remains passionate about his PC years, particularly the
relationships he maintains with O’Neill and swim teammates. The
boating accident only served to heighten his perspective.
“The accident put so much of my life into focus,” he said. “It gave
me more appreciation of life than I would have had without it.” 

“Humbling” is the adjective New Jersey Devils President, CEO, and
General Manager Lou Lamoriello ’63 & ’01Hon. uses when discussing
his induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame — his second Hall of
Fame honor in three years.
Lamoriello, who was selected in the “Builders” category, was inducted
in October with former Dallas Stars’ great Mike Modano and former
player/current TV analyst Ed Olczyk.
“The Hockey Hall of Fame (Lamoriello was inducted in 2009) was predicated on my years in New Jersey,” said Lamoriello. “The U.S. Hockey
Hall of Fame is an encompassing situation based on my time at Providence, the (USA Hockey) sports festivals, and the NHL.

As president, CEO, and general

1995, 2000, and 2003, and
to the finals in 2001 and 2012
“They’re different in their own way yet they’re very humbling, but it
comes from your profession. It’s an indication of the great people I’ve had
working with and around me and the players around me.
“In a team sport,” continued Lamoriello, “there’s no individual. I was very
fortunate in my early years at Providence because of the structure of the
athletic department. I played (baseball) for Alex Nahigian and (hockey)
for Tom Eccleston. Whenever you get an award in a team sport, you’re
really representing everybody with whom you’ve been associated. It sometimes is humbling because you’re in the forefront of everybody else.”

Lamoriello is entering his 25th season with the Devils, who’ve won three
Stanley Cup championships during his tenure. How does the 70-year-old
maintain the enthusiasm and work ethic he exuded as a Friar studentathlete and coach?
“Winning keeps you motivated, along with the love of the game,” he said.
“You’re also trying to participate in other people’s lives and be influential.
If you can help other people along the way, or be part of their success,
there’s no greater feeling than when you win and watch the faces of the
players and fans and remember the sacrifices they’ve made.”

His days at Providence were transformative as well.
“The foundation and the support I received with the Dominican influence, I wouldn’t trade for anything,” said Lamoriello. “It was very rewarding to see the student-athletes you coached and helped develop part of
their education go on to be successful.” 

Three great Friar track and field alumni represented their home countries — and
Providence College — at the 2012 London Olympics.
Kim Smith ’05 (above), a New Zealander who won four NCAA individual titles
during her legendary PC career, placed 15th in the women’s marathon in a time of
2:26:59. Smith also competed in the 2004 and 2008 Olympics.
Dylan Wykes ’05 of Canada battled oppressive heat and the world’s greatest runners on his way to a 20th-place finish in the men’s marathon. Wykes’ time of
2:15:26 is the fastest ever by a Canadian in an Olympic marathon.
Irish runner Stephanie (O’Reilly) Reilly ’01 competed in the 3,000-meter women’s steeplechase. Reilly finished ninth in the second heat, finishing in 9:44.47.
Her time was 26th-best of the 44 runners who competed in three qualifying heats.
Fayne, who registered two assists in a pivotal Eastern
Conference finals win over the New York Rangers,
took a regular shift for the Devils throughout the regular season and playoffs.
Devils CEO, President, and General Manager Lou
Lamoriello ’63 & ’01Hon. (see pages 44-45) assembled the team, which lost the championship series to

while playing for the Puerto Rican national team.
Cintron, who was named to the 2012 Preseason AllBIG EAST Conference Team, scored Puerto Rico’s
only goal in a 2-1 loss to defending World Cup Champion Spain on August 15. The contest was an international friendly match played in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.
Veteran Duke coach to lead PC lacrosse
Chris Gabrielli, a six-year Duke University assistant coach who helped guide
the Blue Devils to the 2010 national championship, was named Providence
College lacrosse coach in June.
“Providence College has made a great choice,” said Duke Head Coach John
Danowski. “He is a wonderful person, who is a great teacher of the game, with
a voracious appetite to learn.”
At Duke, Gabrielli served as recruiting coordinator while working primarily with
the Blue Devils’ defensive unit. Duke made six NCAA semifinal appearances and
won four ACC conference tournament championships during his time there.
Gabrielli is a Farmingdale, N.Y., native who was a four-year letter winner at
the University of Massachusetts. He coached for three years at his alma mater,
followed by a year at Butler before joining the Duke staff.

honor given to one athlete in each of the conference’s
24 sports recognizing academic credentials, athletic
accolades, and volunteer service to the community.
Goaltender Genevieve Lacasse ’12 (Kingston, Ontario), one of the most decorated players in PC women’s
ice hockey history, was selected by the Boston Blades
in the second round of the Canadian Women’s Hockey

depth of knowledge in intercollegiate athletics.
At CBS Sports, Aresco was responsible for managing
the division’s college sports properties, including
contract negotiations and future acquisitions for the NCAA Men’s Basketball
Championship, regular-season college basketball, and bowl football games. He
was instrumental in negotiating the landmark agreement with the NCAA that
granted CBS Sports and Turner Sports exclusive rights to the NCAA Men’s
Basketball Tournament through 2024.
“His knowledge and experience make him the ideal person to lead the BIG

PC associate vice president for athletics and athletic director. “We look forward
to working with him and seeing the league continue to prosper as one of the top
conferences in the nation.”

Colleen Cronin Duffy ’83 knows PC is always there for her.
“You don’t even have to ask — help just arrives on your doorstep,” she said. “The
Dominicans are there for a lifetime.”
Duffy and her husband, Francis Duffy ’83, experienced this firsthand while caring
for their daughter, Meghan, who died of bone cancer in 2007.
Rev. John S. Peterson, O.P. ’57, National Alumni Association chaplain, “found us
at Children’s [Boston Children’s Hospital] at a time when we didn’t expect him
but needed him the most,” Duffy said. “That kind of spiritual reinforcement was
absolutely key to us getting through the worst thing that a parent can ever endure.”
THREE NEW OFFICERS AND FOUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS
have been elected to the National Alumni Association
Board of Governors, joining the new president, Colleen
Cronin Duffy ’83, who previously served as vice president. The board’s new makeup is as follows:
Colleen Cronin Duffy ’83, president
Michael P. Lynch ’83, vice president
Karen R. Monti-Flynn ’80, secretary
Charles T. Alagero ’78, treasurer
It’s that support that motivates the newly elected president of the alumni association’s Board of Governors (BOG) to give back to the College. She has served one
year as treasurer and two years as vice president.
Tom Donovan ’61,
Class of 1923 – 1964 representative
As a fundraiser herself, Duffy said she has a “unique appreciation” of what is required to maintain scholarships for students as well as activities at PC. A former
lawyer for MassHousing and Fannie Mae, she leads the Meghan K. Duffy Foundation, named in her daughter’s honor. The organization seeks to ease the financial
burden of families with children diagnosed with cancer, as well as provide funding
for education.
Pamela A. Greene ’90,
Duffy and BOG Vice President Michael P. Lynch are planning for their two-year
terms with Robert Ferreira, assistant vice president for alumni relations. All three
are members of the Class of 1983.
“I think this is a really exciting time to be leading the alumni association because
there is so much going on,” Duffy said. “Investment in the liberal arts through the
Ruane Center for the Humanities, the accreditation of the School of Business, and
infrastructure improvement to support athletics are all very important indicators
of where PC is headed and essential to our goal to be among the top of our peer
institutions in the Northeast.”
They have chosen several focus areas, including increasing alumni participation
at events such as Alumni and Family Weekend, A Night in Black and White, and
Reunion Weekend, as well as improving communications with regional clubs and
class agents. They also plan more collaboration with the Office of Admission and
academic departments.
Finally, Duffy and BOG members will work on succession planning to identify
leaders so the organization maintains a vibrant board in the future. 

SAMUEL J. CHESTER ’34 & ’94Hon.
Samuel J. Chester ’34 & ’94Hon., a medical researcher and a philanthropist who
was one of Providence College’s oldest
active alumni, died July 6 at his home in
Cranston, R.I.
Mr. Chester studied biology at PC and
hoped to enroll in medical school, but
his father’s illness forced him to work to
support his family. He was successful in
business, founding Standard Wire Co. in Cranston and running it for
25 years until his retirement in 1968.
He then turned his attention to medical research. Mr. Chester volunteered as a cancer researcher at Rhode Island Hospital, Roger Williams
Medical Center, and the Providence Veterans Administration Medical
Center. He published two papers and worked to develop a blood test to
detect colon cancer.
Mr. Chester met his wife, Esther, a pianist and artist, when her musical
group needed a violinist to make a quintet. They celebrated their 50th
wedding anniversary in November 2011. Mrs. Chester died in February.
JOSEPH P. VAGHI, JR. ’42D
Joseph P. Vaghi, Jr. ’42D, the youngest
and the last-surviving of 18 beach masters at the D-Day invasion of Omaha
Beach in Normandy during World War
II, died on August 25 in Bethesda, Md.
Mr. Vaghi was just a 23-year-old U.S.
Navy platoon commander and beach
master with the 6th Naval Beach Battalion at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944,
during the D-Day invasion. Called “traffic cops in hell,” the beach masters
directed the arrival of thousands of troops and evacuated the wounded
and dead while under intense German artillery fire and surrounded by
land mines and other obstacles.
At one point, Mr. Vaghi removed two gasoline cans and several boxes
of hand grenades from a burning Jeep, saving the lives of many in the
immediate vicinity. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroism.
Mr. Chester, who also composed songs, was a violinist with the Rhode
Island Symphony Orchestra until age 85.
A profile written in the Providence College magazine in 1992 said Mr.
Chester’s accomplishments “have come from hard work, determination,
curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, boundless energy, and a compelling
passion and love for mankind.”
Mr. Chester most recently attended Reunion Weekend in June, at age
99, participating in the Golden Friars dinner. The Chesters were Bronze
Torchbearers in the College’s 1917 Society, a distinction that recognizes
lifetime contributions of $250,000 or more. They donated Mrs. Chester’s
lithographs to the College and to educational institutions and hospitals
throughout the state.
In 1996, the College dedicated the Albertus Magnus Science Complex
to Mr. Chester, Rev. Charles V. Reichart, O.P. ’32, and Robert H.
Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon., citing their “contributions to ensure opportunities
for students and academic excellence in the sciences.”
A funeral was held July 10 at Temple Am David, Warwick.
His battalion was awarded the Cross of War from the provisional French
government and, in 2000, received the Presidential Unit Citation.
Mr. Vaghi, who also served in Okinawa, was featured in the Ken Burns
documentary, The War. Earlier this year, he was presented the Legion of
Honor Chevalier (Knight) award by the French government for his heroic contributions to the liberation of France during World War II. The
Legion of Honor is France’s highest civilian award and is equivalent to the
U.S. Medal of Honor.
The founder and owner of an architectural firm that he operated for more
than four decades, Mr. Vaghi attended PC on a football scholarship and
earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy.
The husband of the late Agnes E. Crivella Vaghi, he is survived by four
sons, including Joseph P. Vaghi III ’78, two sisters, and six grandchildren.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on August 30 at the Church of
the Little Flower in Bethesda.
DEATHS
CHAD M. G. DIGREGORIO ’08
Chad M. G. DiGregorio ’08, an archaeology doctoral
student and researcher, died on July 17 after a fall while
hiking in western Turkey, where he was researching possible thesis subjects.
Mr. DiGregorio was working on the Central Lydia
Archaeological Survey, a Boston University project in
Turkey’s Manisa province.
A native of Upton, Mass., the Liberal Arts Honors Program member graduated magna
cum laude from the College with an economics major and a studio art minor. His minor
required him to take a survey course in art history that started in the Paleolithic period.
That experience, in the fall semester of his senior year, inspired him to pursue a career
in archaeology, said Dr. Thomas F. Strasser, associate professor of art history.
Mr. DiGregorio took another art history course at PC before graduating in 2008, and
Strasser invited him to join the Plakias Stone Age Project in Crete. That year, he contributed to the team of researchers making a major discovery of evidence for the earliest
sea-faring in the Mediterranean.
He worked in finance for one year before following his passion back to the Plakias Project
during summer 2009.
“You could look in his eyes and see how much fun he was having,” Strasser said.
Although he had completed few prerequisites, Mr. DiGregorio was accepted into Boston
University’s doctoral program in archaeology that fall, based on the recommendations of
senior Plakias researchers. He excelled well beyond expectations, Strasser said.
“That first year, Chad didn’t get any [fellowship] money,” Strasser said. “By the third
year, he was getting top fellowships in the department.” The professor described him as
a “superlative” student and a joy to be around. Strasser published one scholarly article
with Mr. DiGregorio, who had passed the exams for his doctoral degree, and they were
working on two others.
A voracious reader, he quickly made up for the archaeological education he lacked.
Strasser recalled during the 2008 dig that Mr. DiGregorio studied a reference book of
Paleolithic stone tools. “He read it cover to cover,” Strasser said.
Mr. DiGregorio “really did fit the PC ideals — extreme intellectual curiosity, but humbleness at the same time,” he said.
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on July 27 at St. Gabriel the Archangel
Church in Upton.

THE LAST WORD
MY LADY, JESUS!
By REV. JOSEPH J. GUIDO, O.P.
GINA AND MARIA. ONE I BAPTIZED AND ONE I BURIED.
Gina was born early, a flaxen-haired little girl with pinkish, fair skin
and a tiny button nose. She also was born blind and nearly deaf,
with severe mental disabilities. Now in her mid-20s, she has never spoken and can communicate only through simple signs: me,
you, hungry, wet. Her parents love her as fiercely as they do their
other four children, all of whom are gifted and have gone on to
success. Still, it is hard for them. How could it not be? As the late
Father Thomas Heath, O.P. wrote in his poem, The Confessional, our
hearts are “pierced by gentle things/caught in cruel circumstances.”
Maria always was petite but at the end she was tiny, a wisp of her
former self. She was born in Portugal and raised in an orphanage,
her widowed mother too poor to provide for all of her children.
The nuns there were good to her, and seeing that she was bright
and eager to learn, trained her to be a teacher. But with the move to
America and the necessity of learning a new language, followed by
marriage and motherhood, it was not to be.
She took delight in her daughter, who was graced with her mother’s keen intelligence and became her star pupil. She also faithfully
nursed her husband through a long and painful illness. Then it
was her turn. In her early 60s, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
Relentlessly and without a hint of mercy, the tangle of plaques in
her brain robbed her of everything that made her who she was until,
in her last year, she was reduced to a silent, blank stare.
Or was she?
Was she confused, thinking that Mary was her absent mother? Perhaps.
But perhaps her answer represents something deeper — an innocent
and childlike, yet wholly accurate, experience of Our Lady’s maternal
care as immediate and personal. After all, when any of us need her
most, is a mother ever other than my mother, with all that this implies
and makes a claim to?
And what are we to make of Gina? She lives in a residential facility, one
again appropriately named: Angelwood. When a Eucharistic Minister
brings her Holy Communion, she signs “Jesus” and “!”. The exclamation point is unnecessary but telling. It suggests not only that Gina
understands who she is receiving but also her conviction and delight in
doing so. In the dimmed and hushed world that Gina inhabits, Jesus
comes bright and luminous, loud with peals of delight: hers for him,
his for her.
We who hear and see well, who think clearly and live lives busy with
purpose, often find ourselves surprised by the advent of grace and intimations of the heavenly. We ask, “How can this be?” “How wondrous,
special and precious,” we exclaim. And indeed it is. For us, moments of
evident grace seem to stand apart from the ordinary rounds of life, serving as a counterpoint to the quotidian and challenging the assumptions
that guide our work, family life, and even our faith.
But for some among the many who are stripped of
all that we hold dear, GRACE IS NO LESS WONDROUS AND PRECIOUS for being ordinary, a
Maria had a deep and lifelong devotion to Mary. Pictures of the
Blessed Mother adorned her house and later her room in the nursing home; appropriately, it was named Our Lady’s Haven. Although
she came to a point where she hardly spoke or ate, there were times
when someone would point to one of the pictures of Mary and ask
Maria who she was. With the faintest of smiles but knowingly, she
would answer, “My Lady.”
seamless weave with life as it is lived. In this, they
know better than we do, see with greater clarity,
and hear what we too often are deaf to.
Gina and Maria are right: My Lady, Jesus! Grace always, everywhere,
and without limit, for everyone and without exception.
Rev. Joseph J. Guido, O.P. is vice president for mission and ministry, assistant professor of psychology, and a counseling psychologist in the Personal Counseling Center.

JULY 1, 2011 – JUNE 30, 2012
LATE-AFTERNOON RAIN SHOWERS ARE COMMON HERE IN
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, especially during the spring. One of 2012’s
heaviest downpours visited us on June 7, the day of the long-awaited Ruane
Center for the Humanities groundbreaking ceremony. In typical Providence
College fashion, we regrouped quickly and moved everything – podium,
chairs, decorations, and all – into Phillips Memorial Library.
While we were initially disappointed to have our plans disrupted, the library – the heart of College
academic life – was an appropriate alternative because it underscored the essential, evolving
nature of the PC teaching and learning experience. The spirit of the event was undampened by
the rain, and I daresay that everyone involved left that afternoon feeling proud and optimistic.
Incidentally, the sun came back out, shining brightly on our community as we celebrated what
was truly a momentous occasion in the College’s history.
P R OV I D E N C E CO L L E G E I 2 0 1 1 - 2 0 1 2 A N N UA L D O N O R R E P O R T
In a sense, that anecdote represents what we are all about at Providence College as we approach the
end of 2012. Of course, we are proud of this wonderful institution and all we have accomplished
over 95 years. At the same time, with our year-old Strategic Plan as our guide, we are changing
and growing with a resolute focus on getting better, and doing better.
Mike Ruane himself, the 1971 PC graduate for whom the new building is named (along with
his wife, Elizabeth, and their children), addressed exactly that point in his remarks that day
when he challenged all of us to pledge daily self-improvement. As a college, we are committed
to accountability, ongoing measurement of our progress, and that culture of continuous
improvement Mike referenced.
Change can be challenging. But, as we saw on June 7 and so many other days in the past year, it
can be most rewarding. The Strategic Plan outlines our aspirational vision, and it shows the way
to the day when Providence College is all we want it to be. Our plan brings the clarity that helps
foster change, and it serves as a rallying point for all of us who embrace our roles in helping PC
achieve its destiny.
Moreover, I know in my heart that the momentum attached to the Strategic Plan will continue
to build as we have more successes large and small, ranging in 2011-2012 from the Ruane Center
groundbreaking, to the national championship won by a team of accounting students, to Viola
Davis’ breathtaking Commencement Address, along with numerous other developments you
have read about in Providence College Magazine.
This Donor Report reflects the astonishing generosity of so many of our alumni and friends. I
offer my heartfelt thanks to each person who honors us by his or her decision to share precious
resources with Providence College. By God’s grace and with the continuing support of our
friends, the future of this wonderful institution is as bright as the sunshine that dissipated those
clouds on that glorious June afternoon.
God Bless,
Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80
President

DONOR YEARBOOK 2011-2012
A Night in Black and White, Providence
College’s annual springtime fund-raising
event, reached new heights in 2012, thanks
to the leadership of event co-chairs Ted ’86
and Kim ’86 McNamara and Mark ’97 and
Susan Gasbarro. Their efforts, bolstered by the
work of 63 event committee volunteers, set
the stage for what would be a record-breaking
fundraiser. Head men’s basketball coach Ed
Cooley started the night with a generous
pledge, and some 750 guests joined him to
give a total of $590,000 — $78,750 of which
benefited the Angel Fund. This shattered the
previous year’s high of $425,000. The PC
Fund provides immediate support for the
College’s most pressing needs, while the Angel
Fund allows students whose families have
encountered unexpected financial difficulty to
continue their PC education.
Academic excellence stands at the core
of the Providence College Strategic Plan
with a promise to “establish the College as
a nationally recognized, premier Catholic
liberal arts college that is a first-choice
destination school.” Through the generosity
of alumni and friends, that promise will be
kept — and elevated. In June 2012, the
College broke ground on the Ruane Center
for the Humanities, named for Board of
Trustees chair Michael A. Ruane ’71 and
his wife, Elizabeth. Early on, former trustee
Edward L. Scanlon ’55 & ’00Hon. donated
a significant gift to jumpstart financial
support. When it opens in 2013, the Ruane
Center will house programs that define the
Providence College academic experience,
including the revitalized Core Curriculum,
Development of Western Civilization, and
Liberal Arts Honors.
During Reunion Weekend, members of
the Class of 1992 paid tribute to deceased
classmates by organizing a brick dedication
in memory of Carolyn (Brennan) Haines,
Angela (Drainville) Dolan, Martin
Graham, Shannon (O’Connor) Hayward,
Laura Laflamme, Frederick Matteson,
Christopher Rizzi, Ellen (Donovan) Samia,
and Liisa (Brown) Tucker. The bricks,
which class members purchased through
donations, will be installed on Alumni Lane
and will be a permanent part of the campus
landscape. The Class of 1992 had the
second-highest Reunion Weekend turnout
with 214 alumni registered. It exceeded
fundraising goals with nearly $189,000 in
cash and pledges to the PC Fund and the
Marty Graham ’92 Scholarship Fund.
In February, The Legion Foundation gave
$10,000 to support Faith in the City, a program
in the Office of Mission and Ministry that
helps students answer the College’s call to a
life of service. The organization is dedicated to
the development of religious, educational, and
charitable programs that foster and promote
Christian values. The program offers students
the opportunity to volunteer through Habitat
for Humanity, the NOLA (New Orleans)
Service Immersion Trip, and FaithWorks.
Through their participation, students learn that
to maintain their commitment to service they
must develop and sustain an inner spirituality.
Decades after benefiting from a Dominican’s
generosity to complete his education, an
alumnus left the College a $6.5 million
bequest. Through his gift, the late Robert
H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon. endowed the
College’s first academic chair in the sciences
and added funds to the previously established
Robert H. Walsh Scholarship Fund and the
Robert H. Walsh ’39 Academic Fund. The
scholarship fund supports chemistry majors
in financial need. The academic fund provides
enrichment grants to students and faculty in
the biological and chemical sciences for outof-classroom experiences. Mr. Walsh, a 1917
Society Platinum Torchbearer (lifetime giving
of $1 million and above) died in 2011.
A celebration of the Rev. Dr. Martin
Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Program,
established in 1968 to honor Dr. King’s
legacy and provide financial assistance to
highly qualified African-American students,
recognized the efforts of two individuals
who were instrumental in its formation: Dr.
Francis “Pat” MacKay and the Rev. Robert
A. Morris, O.P. ’44. Since its inception,
the program has graduated more than 550
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. scholars,
who have gone on to distinguish themselves
in a variety of ways by entering careers in
medicine, business, law, education, and
religious life.
MORE THAN 13,500 ALUMNI, PARENTS, FRIENDS, AND CORPORATE PARTNERS provided
gifts large and small in support of Providence College during the year ending July 1, 2012. The
cumulative impact of that GENEROSITY IS BEYOND MEASURE, and the College’s appreciation
for EACH AND EVERY GIFT is beyond words.

“To me, St. Dominic Society membership is a WAY TO GIVE BACK TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS LAID
THE FOUNDATION FOR MY FUTURE. The values, esteem, and sense of self that Providence College
has instilled in me are a result of the generosity of others who believed in the VALUE AND IMPORTANCE
OF FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP.”
— Amanda Mathieu ’11
Note: Class lists include alumni from undergraduate, graduate, and School of Continuing Education programs.

MORE THAN 80 NEW COMPANIES joined the St. Dominic Society Corporate Partner Program
in fiscal year 2011-2012, bringing TOTAL MEMBERSHIP TO 182.
Engaged learning — that hands-on, real-world experience that extends knowledge far beyond classroom walls — is a defining part of the PC
academic experience. In 2012, more than 100 students in 21 disciplines showcased the fruits of their research and scholarship at the third annual
Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity. The celebration was made possible in part by a three-year, $250,000 grant from the Davis
Educational Foundation, titled Fostering a Culture of Student Engagement.

COMMITMENT TO A STUDENT’S DREAM
FUNDS IN SUPPORT
OF
FINANCIAL AID
Despite awarding over $54.9 million in total College–funded scholarships and
grant aid, Providence College meets, on average, only 81 percent of student
financial need.
Closing this financial accessibility gap is a critical priority for the College. Funding dedicated for immediate
student financial aid ensures that Providence College continues to attract the best and brightest students
as the College continues to establish itself as a nationally recognized, premier Catholic liberal arts college.
Providence College remains grateful to all alumni, parents, and friends whose contributions to financial
aid have made a life-altering impact on PC students. PC is pleased to recognize these St. Dominic Society
donors for their support to the Angel Fund, Torch Scholars Program, and other direct grants.
TORCH SCHOLARSHIPS & DIRECT GRANTS
IN AN EFFORT TO BRIDGE THE FINANCIAL AID GAP, the Torch Scholars Program was established in
2009, offering donors a unique opportunity to fund a four-year, expendable scholarship for promising students
with financial need. Torch Scholarships and direct financial aid grants are critical to helping students begin or
continue their transformational Providence College educational journey.

WAYS TO GIVE
PC FUND | ANNUAL GIVING
TORCH SCHOLARSHIPS
Gifts to the PC Fund are put to use immediately and directed to the
areas where they are most urgently needed. Tuition fees account only
for a portion of PC’s annual budget. Donations directed to the PC
Fund build a bridge between tuition revenues and the actual cost of
a PC education, ensuring that all students have access to a premier,
Catholic liberal arts education.
Torch Scholarships offer donors a unique opportunity to have a positive
impact on the life of a promising PC student with financial need. With
a gift of $20,000, donors can create a four-year expendable scholarship,
which can be renewed at the donor’s request. Donors will receive an annual
notification about the student awarded their scholarship, including the
student’s name, hometown, class year, and program of study.
ANGEL FUND | EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID
1917 SOCIETY | LIFETIME GIVING
The Angel Fund provides an ongoing source of emergency financial aid
so that current students of families with unexpected and extraordinary
financial challenges can continue their studies at Providence College.
President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P.’s top priority is to ensure that each
and every student will have the resources necessary to complete his or her
PC education.
Since its founding in 1917, Providence College has been blessed with loyal
and supportive alumni and friends. In acknowledgement of those who
have given so generously, the 1917 Society recognizes cumulative lifetime
giving to Providence College. Membership is extended to donors who
have contributed a minimum of $250,000 during their lifetime.
FRIARS FOREVER ATHLETIC FUND | ATHLETICS
Many donors help to secure the future strength and position of Providence
College by including PC in their wills. The Harkins Society recognizes
benefactors who have named Providence College in their estate plans
through bequests or other types of deferred gifts. Planned gifts can be
made in several ways, including specifying a dollar amount or asset, such
as securities; leaving all or a percentage of one’s estate; or leaving a residual
interest. Planned gifts can be designated for restricted purposes — such
as an endowed scholarship — or left completely unrestricted.
Gifts to the Friars Forever Athletic Fund improve athletics facilities
and provide scholarship and academic support to the department’s 300
student-athletes who compete in 19 varsity sports. Financial contributions
are essential for the continued growth and success of Friar athletics and
benefit all athletic programs.
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarship endowments provide much-needed financial support to
well-qualified students who otherwise would not be able to afford a
PC education. Many generous benefactors have established endowed
scholarship funds to ensure that future generations of students will
continue to benefit from the high standards of excellence and personalized
learning that are the hallmarks of a PC education.
Establishing an endowed scholarship fund offers donors the opportunity
to create a personal legacy at Providence College, including a named
memorial or family scholarship. Gifts for scholarship endowments
begin at $50,000. Donors are kept informed about the progress of their
funds through written annual reports and communications from their
scholarship recipients.
HARKINS SOCIETY | PLANNED GIVING
If you have named Providence College in your will or trust, established a life
income plan, or made the College the beneficiary of an insurance policy or
retirement plan, please notify us so we can welcome you into the Harkins Society.
ST. DOMINIC SOCIETY | LEADERSHIP ANNUAL GIVING
The St. Dominic Society recognizes the College’s most generous donors
— alumni, parents, corporate partners, faculty, staff, and friends — who
make an annual gift of $1,000 or more to Providence College. Members
play a principal role in advancing the educational and spiritual mission
of Providence College.
Young alumni are encouraged to join the St. Dominic Society.
Recognizing that the capacity for young alumni to give may not be as
great as that of more established alumni, Young Alumni St. Dominic
Society membership is designed to recognize those who graduated within
the past 10 years for leadership giving based upon year of graduation.
DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS
2011 – 2012
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and
sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and
trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in
the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors
have these rights:
BOARD OF TRUSTEES
• To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use
donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.
• To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to
expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.
• To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.
• To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.
• To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.
• To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with
confidentiality to the extent provided by law.
• To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the
donor will be professional in nature.
• To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization,
or hired solicitors.
• To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization
may intend to share.
• To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful, and
forthright answers.
The above rights were developed by the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel (AAFRC),
Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), Council for Advancement and Support of
Education (CASE), and Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and endorsed by (in
formation) the Independent Sector National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC), National
Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG), and Council for Resource Development (CRD).
