Responding to the needs of Rhode Island, the Dominican Order of Preachers made a special commitment to the state in 1917 and

founded Providence College — the only institution of higher learning in North America that is conducted by the Order. In 96 years, Providence College has steadily moved to a position of national prominence, while maintaining a personal, community-like atmosphere that fosters growth and development among its student population. Providence College’s rich heritage dates back to 1216, or the origins of the Dominican Order in Spain. Through the ages, the Dominican Friars became known as the “champions of the faith,” spreading the gospel message through the centuries into every corner of the globe. Today, Dominican Friars continue to spread the gospel in a wide range of remote areas of the world, to teach at every level of the United States educational system. With the Dominican tradition as its foundation, Providence College focuses on developing the entire person through its values-oriented education. The college seeks to complement a student’s knowledge with knowledge of his own values — values that will remain the foundation for sound judgement throughout a lifetime. To that end, Providence College aims to relate its curriculum to the problems of contemporary society, offering diverse programs of study that remain grounded in the liberal arts. Students may choose from some 60 concentrations ranging from computer science to labor relations to theatre arts. In addition, qualified students who wish to structure a program not specifically provided under the regular concentrations may develop their own program with the approval of the dean of the college. As part of the core curriculum, all students take a two-year, team-taught course, Development of Western Civilization (DWC) which integrates the study of literature, philosophy, history and religious studies through the ages into a cohesive interdisciplinary unit. Situated just on the fringe of downtown Providence, the College’s location enables students to have easy access to the many social, cultural, educational and recreational amenities of urban life - the Providence Public Library; entertainment at the Providence Performing Arts Center; sporting events, entertainment and trade shows at the Dunkin’ Donuts Center and the Providence Convention Center and dozens of fine restaurants. With several other major educational institutions located in Providence, the city has become a hub of collegiate activity. Providence Col lege is a pr imari ly undergraduate, l iberal arts, Cath-olic institution of higher education. Committed to fostering academic excellence through the sciences and humanities, the College provides a variety of opportuni-ties for intellectual, social, moral and spiritual growth in a supportive environment. The College actively cultivates intellectual, spiritual, ethical and aesthetic val-ues within the context of the Judaeo-Christian heritage. These values are nurtured by the unique tradition of the Dominican Order which emphasizes quality teaching and scholarship. Providence College recognizes the unity of the human family that proceeds from its one Creator. It therefore encourages the deepest respect for the essential dignity, free-dom and equality of every person and welcomes qualified women and men from all r e l i -gious, racial and ethnic backgrounds. Providence College prepares its students to be respon-sible and productive citizens to serve in their own society and the greater world community.

REV. BRIAN J. SHANLEY, O.P.PRESIDENT

On February 1, 2005, Providence College announced the election of Reverend Brian J. Shanley, O.P., to serve as the 12th president of the Col-lege. Prior to his arrival at Providence, Father Shanley served as an associate

professor in the School of Philosophy at The Catholic University of America in Washington, D.C.

Father Shanley is a native of Warwick, Rhode Island. A parishioner at St. Gregory the Great Church, he attend-ed local public schools, graduating from Toll Gate High School in 1976.

In 1980, Father Shanley earned his undergraduate de-gree in history at Providence College. He holds a doctor-ate degree in philosophy from the University of Toronto, where he completed the Collaborative Providence in Philosophy and Medieval Studies. He also holds a master of divinity degree (theology) and the Licentiate in Sa-cred Theology (S.T.L.), both from the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. (Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception.)

Ordained to the priesthood in 1987, Father Shanley has devoted his entire career to teaching and adminis-tration in Catholic higher education. Following teaching assignments at Providence College and the University of Toronto, he began his tenure at The Catholic University of America in 1994, achieving the rank of associate profes-sor in 2001. Father Shanley’s first teaching assignment was at Providence College from 1988-91. He was an in-structor of philosophy, and taught in the Development of Western Civilization Program.

Father Shanley spent the Fall 2002 semester as a visit-ing professor at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. He previously engaged in a post-doctoral fel-lowship at the University of Notre Dame’s Center for Phi-losophy of Religion in 1998-99. As the Regent of Studies for the Dominican Province of St. Joseph, Father Shan-ley holds a seat on the Provincial Council, a body of 12 Dominican Friars serving as cabinet-level advisors to the Prior Provincial. He advises the Prior Provincial on all mat-ters pertaining to the intellectual and academic life of the Province and oversees the academic endeavors of mem-bers of the Province, including those in preparation for the priesthood and those engaged in graduate studies.

ACADEMICS

Providence College is primarily a coeducational four-year undergraduate college of liberal arts and sciences. Its main objective is the intellectual development of its students through the disciplines of the sciences and the humanities, equipping them to become productive and responsible citizens of a democratic society.

To be eligible for a degree, a student must accumulate 116 credit hours over an eight semester period with an overall quality point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale. In addition, a student must complete a minimum of 24 upper-division credits in the field of their major with an overall 2.0 cumulative average unless stipulated. Included in the total credit hours are the following prerequisites for any degree: Development of Western Civilization (20); Social Sciences (6); Natural Science (6); Philosophy (6); Theology (6); Mathematics (3) and Fine Arts (3). The remaining credit hours are elective with at least nine coming from areas outside one’s major. In addition, all students establish English (writing) Proficiency by coursework or standards designated by the English Department.

The most popular majors for the Class of 2013 were Marketing, Finance, Biology, Accounting, and Management. Although this may seem overwhelming on paper, our staff goes to great lengths to monitor each student’s academic progress. It’s a system that Providence is quite proud of and one which we’ve worked long and hard to establish. Any student-athlete who feels the need for tutorial assistance can utilize the college’s tutorial center, as well as the athletic department’s advisors who can supply them with individuals capable of assisting them in their particular course of study.

The Office of Academic Services (OAS) provides specialized support to student-athletes in light of the unique time demands, responsibilities, and rules governing participation in intercollegiate athletics. Holistic services are provided in a safe, personal environment where academic growth is a priority, personal development and independence are enhanced, and long-term success is nurtured by a staff which models these same commitments.

Student-athletes who have distinguished themselves in the classroom as well as on the field or court, may be nominated for the BIG EAST Academic All-Star Team, the HOCKEY EAST Academic Honor Roll, NFHCA Division I Academic Team or Academic All-American Program presented by CoSIDA. The Providence College Athletic Department also honors student-athletes each semester who have achieved a 3.00 grade point average or higher.

ADMINISTRATIONROBERT G. DRISCOLL, JR.ASSOCIATE VICE PRESIDENT / ATHLETICS DIRECTOR

Entering his 12th season as Providence College’s Associate Vice President & Athletics Di-rector, Bob Driscoll has transformed and reinvig-orated Providence College’s athletics program. Having established a vision of student-athlete success in the classroom, in the community and in competing for championships, Driscoll main-tains focus on fostering one of the nation’s most respected programs.

Recently, Driscoll helped position the Col-lege’s athletics program for success as a mem-ber of the reorganized BIG EAST Conference,

where the Friars will compete against top-flight academic and athletic institutions in a new era of rivalries built on a rich athletic traditions. With a long-term television contract with FOX Sports and its marquee men’s basketball championship tourna-ment at Madison Square Garden, the BIG EAST is poised for success. Additionally, Friar hockey will continue to compete in the Hockey East Association, one of the premier hockey conferences in the nation.

Driscoll also has ushered in stability and success by hiring and mentoring highly respected coaches and staff, including men’s basketball Head Coach Ed Cooley, women’s basketball Head Coach Susan Robinson-Fruchtl and men’s hockey Head Coach Nate Leaman. The department’s coaching patriarch, Ray Treacy, enters his 30th season at the helm of the perennially successful men’s and women’s cross country and track programs at Providence College.

Under Driscoll, the Friars have excelled in the classroom. In the NCAA re-ported Graduation Success Rate (GSR), Providence averages a 92-percent mark with an average GPA of 3.0 for all student-athletes. Following the 2012-13 com-petition year, four Providence College athletic programs received Public Recogni-tion Awards as part of the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program. The Friars have had multiple teams honored in all eight years that the NCAA has given out the Public Recognition Awards. Epitomizing the drive for success in athletics and in the classroom, the 2012 women’s cross country team placed second at the NCAA Championships, boasted three All-Americans, earned a NCAA Public Recognition Award for the second-consecutive season, had three USTFCCCA All-Academic Team Selections and team captain Sam Roecker was named the BIG EAST Female Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Last season alone, Friar student-athletes combined for over 3,000 hours of community service and raised over $38,000 for charitable causes. The men’s hockey team combined with Team IMPACT and added youngster Kevin Rich, who is bat-tling cancer, to their roster. They welcomed Kevin to all team activities throughout the year. Other teams were involved with Relay for Life, the Project GOAL and rais-ing money in support of the Gloria Gemma Breast Cancer Resource Foundation to fund research to name a few. Additionally, the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) sponsored a We “CAN” Do It can drive that involved the entire Providence College community.

In Driscoll’s 11 seasons, the Friars have consistently competed for champion-ships. Last season, eight Friar teams qualified for conference tournaments, includ-ing women’s cross country finishing as the national runners-up and a second-con-secutive Hockey East semifinal appearance by the men’s hockey team. The men’s basketball team advanced to the second round of the BIG EAST Tournament and then went on to the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Three additional teams made BIG EAST Tournament appearances in 2012-13 including the women’s tennis, field hockey and softball teams. The men’s and women’s swim-ming and diving teams sent 26 individual qualifiers to the BIG EAST Championship. The men’s and women’s indoor/outdoor track teams combined for five individual BIG EAST titles and five runners combined for eight All-America honors.

The Friars also have had success in the Learfield Sports Directors’ Cup stand-ings. Most recently, Providence finished the 2012-13 year ranked 12th amongst Di-vision I-AAA schools. Since Driscoll joined the Friars, Providence has finished in the top-12 for Division I-AAA nine times.

One of the biggest impacts Driscoll has had on the Providence College Ath-letics Department and the College as a whole has been with facility development, construction and renovation. Since his arrival in 2001, Driscoll has transformed the College’s athletics facilities. In September of 2013 a state-of-the art, $18 million renovation and 30,000-square foot addition project to Schneider Arena was com-pleted. The project included new locker rooms, new coaches’ offices, a renovated press box, a state-of-the-art video board and sound system, luxury boxes, as well as a new hockey and lacrosse strength and conditioning room. A new track and artificial field was built over the summer of 2013 to give the men’s and women’s cross country and track programs an improved place to train and race, as well as

serving the whole Providence College community. Taylor Natatorium also under-went extensive renovations. Next to Schneider Arena, construction on a new soccer and lacrosse stadium is in planning phase.

Other facility upgrades that have highlighted Driscoll’s tenure include an $80 million renovation of the Dunkin’ Donuts Center, the home of Friar men’s basketball. The project was the result of Driscoll working strategically with lead officials in the City of Providence and the State of Rhode Island. The renovations enhanced the game-day experience by adding 20 luxury boxes, new seats, a video scoreboard, sound system, updated restaurant and concession stands, team store, locker rooms and new weight training/fitness areas. These renovations enabled Providence Col-lege to successfully serve as host for the First and Second Rounds of the 2010 NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship. In September of 2012, renovations of Alumni Hall were completed. Alumni Hall, which is the practice facility for men’s basketball and the home of the Friar women’s basketball and volleyball teams, is now a state-of-the-art facility.

Kicking off Driscoll’s vision for the improved athletic facilities footprint at Providence College, the Concannon Fitness Center, an $18 million facility, opened in August of 2007, adjacent to the $6 million Lennon Family Field (Astroturf facility), which was completed in August 2005. The Fitness Center houses the Friars’ Jimmy Walker Strength and Conditioning Center for varsity student-athletes as well as ad-ministrative and coaching offices, conference rooms and locker rooms. Additionally, the Concannon Fitness Center serves the whole Providence College community and houses the recreation sports staff, furthering the bond between the campus com-munity and Friar Athletics. Next, the Canavan Sports Medicine Center, which was completed in August of 2008, is equipped with an AlterG anti-gravity treadmill and a hydrotherapy room, which includes a SwimEx rehab pool and two plunges for cold/hot therapy.

Driscoll established the athletic fundraising philosophy and department that has been instrumental in making program upgrades possible. He and his staff have exceeded fundraising goals on a yearly basis, achieving a 1000% increase in fundraised dollars over an 11-year period. In July of 2013, Driscoll and his fundrais-ing staff announced the successful completion of “Mission 4 Million,” in which the department raised $4 million. The additional revenue remains critical to building and supporting championship programs and providing the best opportunities to the Providence College student-athletes. The funds Driscoll and his staff raise help directly support all 19 of Providence College’s Division I programs, the Friars Forever Fund and capital projects.

On June 10, 2008 Driscoll was named the 2007-08 Astro Turf Athletics Direc-tor of the Year for the Division I Northeast Region at the 43rd National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics Annual Convention. He also was honored in 2009 by his alma mater, Ithaca College, when he received the Distinguished Sport Indus-try Leader award.

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

Driscoll joined the Providence community after 14½ years in athletic admin-istration at the University of California, Berkeley. At Cal, Driscoll served as the Execu-tive Associate Athletic Director and was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department as well as overseeing football, men’s basketball, men’s and wom-en’s swimming, men’s and women’s water polo, rugby, strength training, equipment and the sports medicine programs.

Driscoll was hired at Cal as the Associate Athletic Director for Student Ser-vices, a position he held for five years. He then assumed the position of Executive Associate Athletic Director, at which point he was responsible for the administra-tion of 27 varsity sports, a staff of 250 and a $36 million budget. Prior to coming to Providence, he served as the Acting Executive Director for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreational Sports. During his tenure, Cal won over 20 national championships and competed in the Citrus, Copper, Alamo and Aloha Bowls. The Bears also finished as high as 12th in the NACDA Directors’ Cup.

Before arriving at Cal, Driscoll served six years (1981-87) as the Athletic Direc-tor and Chair of the Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Intramural Sports at Mills College in Oakland, Calif. Prior to Mills, Driscoll was Assistant Athletic Director and Head Baseball and Hockey Coach at Union College in Schenectady, N.Y. from 1977-81. Driscoll played hockey and baseball at Ithaca College (N.Y.), where he received a Bachelor of Science degree in physical education in 1974. He earned his Master of Science in Physical Education/Psychology of Sports from Ithaca in 1975.

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

The facility has been the home of Providence College volleyball since the program’s inception in 1977, while also serving as the home of the women’s basketball team since its first varsity season in 1974-75. The renovation project included a new ceiling, air conditioning and heating systems, upper level windows and new seating in the upper and lower arena. The entire communications and data systems was over-

hauled and a video scoreboard was installed, along with an enhanced audio system for public address and in-game entertainment needs. The renovated gym officially opened on Oct. 7, 2012 when the women’s volleyball team had their first home match of the 2012 season.

The Canavan Sports Medicine Center opened during the 2007-08 academic year and became fully operational in August 2008. The center is the primary sports medicine facility for each of the College’s 300+ student-athletes and its working space is roughly 4,000 square feet. This state-of-the-art facility includes nine treatment tables with assorted modality equipment and office space for the eight certified athletic trainers on staff. The space also provides two physician clinic offices, where primary care, orthopedic, chiropractic and podiatric physicians evaluate our student-athletes on a weekly basis. There also is a large rehabilitation/exercise area in the facility that houses a SwimEx rehab pool, one eight-person hot plunge pool and one eight-person cold plunge pool. Last year, an Alter-G Treadmill was added to help our student-athletes improve their recovery time.

Located in the Concannon Fitness Center, the varsity strength and conditioning facility is a 3,600 square foot area dedicated to the Friars' 19 intercollegiate athletic teams. The facility houses over 10 tons of free weights, including dumb bells ranging from five to 150 pounds and a full set of kettle bells. All hand weights, iron plates and bumper plate sets are engraved with one of the College's athletic logos. There are six Power Racks, each with an Olympic Weight-lifting platform. These training stations are extremely versatile and allow numerous athletes to perform a variety of exercises simultaneously. The facility also houses 'tools' such as stability balls, medicine balls, resistance bands, weighted vests, weighted jump ropes, plyometric jump boxes, dot drill mats, slide boards, lateral slant boards, lateral skaters, agility ladders, hurdles and numerous apparatuses to develop trunk strength and core stabilization. There also are two Woodway high perfor-mance treadmills that max out at 16.5 miles per hour.

Providence, Rhode Island is among America’s most dynamic, diverse and exciting new destination cities. Come and see it for yourself. Gather with thousands in the rejuvenated downtown for a magical WaterFire display. Catch a Broadway-bound show. Enjoy dinner in one of the city’s many award-winning restaurants, then head to Federal Hill to sip an authentic caffe latte. Mingle with the more than 26,000 students who at-tend the city’s five colleges and universities. Explore internship opportunities with the city’s businesses and nonprofits and see a real-world path to career success.
