“From working on this project, I learned about how involved Student Congress has been in on campus discourse throughout its history.”

Last fall, Archives & Special Collections student worker Jordon Dunkerley ’27 began processing the Student Congress collection. This collection provides an interesting perspective on PC student life and activities over the past 75-plus years and can help researchers gain an understanding of how students used the Student Congress governing structure to collaborate with administrators and improve their experience on campus.

Read more about Jordon’s exciting project on the library website linked in our bio!

Meet Megan Lessard, Head of Digital Projects & Metadata. 📚

For our READ campaign, Megan chose The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, a longtime favorite. She describes it as wildly clever, wonderfully weird, and endlessly comforting, and says it is a reminder that curiosity and humor can carry you through any adventure.

Since 1966, Providence College students have reveled in Ring Weekend. It’s a time when the upcoming graduating class celebrates the class ring tradition and the college experience it symbolizes.

See some PC class rings and Ring Weekend memorabilia currently on display in the library, part of the Archives and Special Collections exhibit Out of the Box!

Make sure to stop in during our special open hours June 5th and 6th for reunion weekend to view the exhibit.

Meet Dr. Rachael Bonoan, Assistant Professor of Biology. 📚
For our READ campaign, Dr. Bonoan chose Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. She shared that she first fell in love with Austen’s work in a college literature class, drawn to the strong female leads, witty dialogue, and sharp commentary on class. Pride and Prejudice and Emma remain two of the novels she returns to again and again.

Meet Adam Hauerwas, LMS Administrator / Information Technology. 📚

For our READ campaign, Adam chose The Princess Bride by William Goldman. In Adam’s view, it is a perfect book, a perfect movie, and honestly, we are not here to argue with that. What’s not to love?

Flashback to 1976, when the first Apple computer was made, the country celebrated its bicentennial, and PC had its first commencement at the Civic Center, now the AMP!

745 baccalaureate and 198 master’s degrees (including, for the first time, MBAs) were awarded to students.

Sen. John O. Pastore (whose papers reside in PC’s Archives) gave the commencement address and received the Veritas Medal of Honor at the event.

Congratulations to all PC students graduating today!
