Rev. Francis J. Hicks ’63 leaves career,<br />
alcohol behind<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
By DIANE M. STERRETT<br />
The surprising twists and turns of his life’s journey resemble<br />
the trails he rides in the hills of Los Angeles on one of his nine<br />
Harley-Davidsons.<br />
His first career took him from Thailand to Texas, then Los Angeles to Laos,<br />
and back to Los Angeles. His roles evolved from gun-wielding INS agent to<br />
blood-giving priest — ordained at age 58. And, his relationship with God<br />
swung from devout Irish-Catholic child, to agnostic adult, to compassionate<br />
priest.<br />
Meet the very candid Rev. Francis J. Hicks ’63, or “Father Frank,” a recovering<br />
alcoholic who’s the pastor of a large, multicultural parish in Los<br />
Angeles, a chaplain in the Los Angeles Police Department, a biker, and an<br />
unabashedly proud and fulfilled individual.<br />
“I had a career that I enjoyed, but I thrive with my vocation,” said Father<br />
Frank. “I am totally committed to my ministry. I’m doing what I think<br />
I’m called to do. I’m interacting with people who are in need.”<br />
>>>
COVER FEATURE<br />
“THROUGH AA, I FOUND THAT I DID NOT HAVE AN ADVERSARIAL GOD. I HAD AN ALLY.”<br />
Sometimes that ministry takes place from the seat of a motorcycle.<br />
All of his adult life, Father Frank has collected Harley-Davidsons<br />
— he also owns a fire engine-red 1951 British MGTD Mark II<br />
convertible — using them as both a diversion and a tool.<br />
He rides with current and retired police officers around the hills of<br />
L.A. and on weekend trips to San Luis Obispo and Death Valley.<br />
“You can talk to (police) at the station, but they’re not going to<br />
share the same things they would when they’re with you on a ride<br />
for three or four days,” said Father Frank. “They develop a familiarity<br />
that makes it easy for them to talk to me.”<br />
Father Frank began his career with the Peace Corps after graduating<br />
from <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> with a bachelor’s degree in political<br />
science. He spent four years in rural Thailand, working on community<br />
development. It was there his love for motorcycles began with a<br />
Honda that carried him to remote areas and through rice paddies.<br />
Upon returning to the U.S., he joined the Department of Justice’s<br />
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). He was appointed<br />
to the U.S. Border Patrol at Fort Hancock, Texas, where he bought<br />
his first motorcycle with his third paycheck. He later transferred<br />
to Criminal Investigations in Los Angeles and rose through the<br />
ranks over a 23-year career, thanks in part to his ability to speak<br />
Thai and Lao.<br />
Later in his career, he was assigned to the U.S. Attorney’s office for<br />
Asian organized crime, working with several other agencies. His primary<br />
thrust was the Thai community and Asian drug smuggling.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
One of the positions Father Frank, second from left, held during his<br />
23-year federal government career was that of U.S. Border Patrol<br />
agent. Here he is pictured with three classmates from the Border Patrol<br />
Academy in 1970.<br />
“I enjoyed the challenge: enforcing the law, making cases, going to<br />
trial, being a witness, things of that sort,” he said.<br />
A REVELATION<br />
But in 1989, Father Frank came to the realization that he no longer<br />
had control over his consumption of alcohol.<br />
“Here I was interviewing people suspected of being on duty<br />
under the influence of alcohol, and I wasn’t too many steps<br />
from them,” he said. “I came to the conclusion I just could<br />
not stop. There seemed to be a kind of divine intervention.”<br />
He came back to Rhode Island and checked into an alcohol treatment<br />
center. He was introduced to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA)<br />
and spent a month in outpatient treatment.<br />
At the time he was “somewhat agnostic.”
“It was out of desperation I turned back to the God of my under-<br />
standing, the God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob. Through AA,<br />
I found that I did not have an adversarial God. I had an ally,”<br />
he explained.<br />
“So often growing up in a 1940s, Irish-Catholic, New England<br />
household, God was used adversarially. You know: ‘You do this,<br />
he’s going to punish you.’ Compassion was not one of the strong<br />
suits. I found a loving, supportive God, and that’s the God I’ve<br />
carried into my ministry. I found out I could say to a person, ‘I’ve<br />
walked in your shoes and you’ve walked in mine, so let’s walk<br />
together.’”<br />
Father Frank attributes his vocation directly to becoming sober.<br />
“I was enjoying my sobriety, and I had this sense that came to<br />
me, ‘If you think you have it good now, do I have something<br />
planned for you.’ It was as subtle as that. I had this sense God<br />
had something better for me to do,” he said.<br />
With three years left until retirement from the INS, Father Frank<br />
knew he had to make a choice about his life. He prayed on his<br />
calling and discussed it with his parish priest, a Benedictine. He<br />
retired just shy of his 52nd birthday and spent a year of discernment<br />
at St. Gregory’s Benedictine Abbey in Shawnee, Okla.<br />
“I had the intention of remaining in the Benedictine community,<br />
but I discerned that my vocation was calling me more toward being<br />
a diocesan priest,” he recalled. “I needed to be active in the<br />
community, dealing with people, dealing with their problems on<br />
a regular basis and sharing whatever talents I had.”<br />
Returning to Los Angeles, he began to doubt himself until he<br />
spoke with Grace McGeehy, a member of his parish council. She<br />
asked about his plans, and he told her he was considering applying<br />
to St. John’s Seminary at Camarillo.<br />
“I knew immediately, then and there, that is exactly what I’m<br />
supposed to do,” said Father Frank. “All the apprehension, all<br />
the absurdity, all the self-doubt, all that just seemed to evaporate.<br />
I applied, and the rest is history. I’ve never looked back.”<br />
Many years later, he discovered McGeehy’s prayer life was dedicated<br />
to praying for vocations.<br />

Father Frank calls his priestly calling “the ultimate” in his life’s journey.<br />
His parish, St. Basil’s in Los Angeles, has more than 5,500 families.<br />
POURING HIS ENERGY INTO HIS MINISTRY<br />
Father Frank was ordained in 2000 and assigned to Holy Trinity<br />
Parish in San Pedro. He quickly accepted many assignments within<br />
the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, which is by far the largest archdiocese<br />
in the U.S. with more than 5 million Catholics.<br />
Life is more fulfilling now, and he calls his ministry “the ultimate.”<br />
As pastor of St. Basil Catholic Church in Los Angeles, Father Frank<br />
ministers to 5,500 families — a culturally rich and diverse group of<br />
Filipinos, Koreans, and Central American Hispanics.<br />
Baptisms, marriages, and Masses are said in Spanish, Korean, and<br />
English, and it’s a community centered on outreach. It’s not unusual<br />
to have 45 adult baptisms at once, and the record is 125.<br />
He also ministers to priests throughout the archdiocese who have<br />
substance abuse issues. He conducts AA meetings and helps them<br />
through the transition he has made.<br />
“I get up in the morning and dress in my clerics, and that’s it for<br />
the day — that’s my uniform, and that’s who I am,” he said. “I am<br />
a 24/7 Catholic priest working in my parish, and by extension,<br />
outside my parish. I just gave my 87th unit of blood platelets at<br />
City of Hope [a cancer research hospital]. Every time I go, I go<br />
with Roman collar on and they know who and what I am. We get<br />
enough bad publicity; people should see there are those of us out<br />
there doing the best we can.”<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
Among Father Frank’s favorite roles is that of director of the Cardinal<br />
McIntyre Fund for Charity, which raises money for basic needs of<br />
the poor — food, electricity, heat, burying the dead. It doesn’t matter<br />
if you’re a parishioner.<br />
“My idea is, Jesus Christ wouldn’t have said, ‘You don’t come to<br />
my church.’ I don’t think so! We cover everyone we possibly can,”<br />
he said.<br />
Because of his law enforcement background, Father Frank was<br />
asked by the archdiocese to become chaplain for the Los Angeles<br />
police shortly after his ordination. It’s an aspect of his ministry that<br />
enables him to give back to officers who put their lives on the line.<br />
“My role is to walk with them, to advise them when they want<br />
to be advised, to lift them up, to pray for them,” he said. “Any<br />
time they have a rally for a fallen officer, I do the invocation and<br />
then I ride with them. They appreciate it, and you get a much<br />
closer relationship. It helps develop a rapport and enhances my<br />
ministry to them.”<br />
He also continues his decades-long association with the Victor<br />
McAllen Motorcycle Stunt and Drill Team, which raises money for<br />
charity. He is now the chaplain and performs with other members<br />
on occasion.<br />
Father Frank’s lifelong dedication to giving back is also demonstrated<br />
by his generosity to PC.<br />
“The Lord has been very good to me financially,” he said, so he<br />
has established a scholarship in his parents’ name and included the<br />
<strong>College</strong> in his estate plan.<br />
He credits PC with giving him a logical, philosophical foundation<br />
and analytical skills that were not only helpful in his career, but in<br />
his life choices.<br />
“<strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>,” he said, “gave me the ability to listen, to be<br />
true to what I was being exposed to and not turn away from it, but<br />
embrace it and find out exactly where I was called to be.” <br />

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
By VICKI-ANN DOWNING
THE PROVIDENCE COLLEGE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS BEGAN THE<br />
ACADEMIC YEAR WITH ITS LONG-SOUGHT INTERNATIONAL<br />
ACCREDITATION IN PLACE AND A NEW DEAN DEDICATED TO<br />
ADVANCING ITS PROGRESS.<br />
AACSB International, the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools<br />
of Business, awarded the business school accreditation following a meticulous<br />
internal review and evaluation accomplished by faculty and<br />
administrators. The distinction, considered the “gold standard” for<br />
college business programs, is held by only 30 percent of all business<br />
schools in the United States and 5 percent worldwide.<br />
It was an achievement for all involved, especially the business school<br />
faculty who worked toward it for more than eight years.<br />
“AACSB accreditation involved a significant commitment from<br />
School of Business faculty, particularly during the last five years,” said<br />
Dr. Patrick T. Kelly, associate professor of accountancy, department<br />
chair, and former interim dean of the business school. “Every faculty<br />
member was involved in the process, which included service on<br />
one or more accreditation-related committees, assessment of student<br />
learning, and evaluation of our program.”<br />
The new dean, Dr. Sylvia Maxfield, professor of management, brings<br />
a background in both business and higher education. She is a former<br />
senior sovereign analyst and vice president at Lehman Brothers<br />
and former director of the MBA and Principled Leadership programs<br />
at Simmons <strong>College</strong>. Maxfield holds an elite rank herself — only<br />
Group of alumni proposes<br />
that <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
pursue accreditation of<br />
its business programs<br />
by AACSB International.<br />
18 percent of business schools in the United States were headed by<br />
women last year, according to the AACSB.<br />
Maxfield is joined at the administrative level by Dr. Christine E. Earley,<br />
professor of accountancy, who this year will be interim associate dean<br />
for faculty and curriculum. The school — which is comprised of the<br />
undergraduate disciplines in accountancy, finance, management, and<br />
marketing, and the graduate-level MBA Program — also plans to add<br />
an assistant dean for student affairs and impact assessment.<br />
GREAT EXPECTATIONS<br />
Maxfield “has a really good vision of what she wants to do,” said<br />
William F. Markey, Jr. ’62, chair of the Business Advisory Council,<br />
a group of 50 alumni and business leaders who serve as a resource<br />
for the business school. “She’s going to move forward quickly. Dean<br />
Maxfield would love to raise the bar and to really be looked at as a<br />
top-tier business school with a very solid reputation.”<br />
One of Maxfield’s first goals is to secure the business school a home. A<br />
committee of faculty and staff has developed a plan to convert Dore<br />
Hall, a residence hall, into a business school.<br />
Board of Trustees establishes Division of Business<br />
Administration with Dr. Francine Newth, associate<br />
professor of management, as director.<br />
Dr. Sue Lehrman appointed first dean<br />
of business school.<br />

“DEAN MAXFIELD WOULD LOVE TO RAISE THE BAR AND TO<br />
REALLY BE LOOKED AT AS A TOP-TIER BUSINESS SCHOOL<br />
WITH A VERY SOLID REPUTATION.”<br />
“The minute we get a lead gift, we’re ready to go,” said Maxfield. “It’s<br />
a wonderful opportunity for a friend of the <strong>College</strong> to be associated<br />
with a business school that over the next five years will be increasingly<br />
noted for being unique and creative in integrating the humanities and<br />
liberal arts with business education.”<br />
Maxfield also is leading the nationwide search for a professor who will<br />
be the first to hold the Michael A. Ruane Endowed Chair for Innovation<br />
in Business Education.<br />
Michael A. Ruane ’71, chair of the Board of Trustees, donated<br />
$2 million to establish the chair. It will be held by a “passionate and<br />
dedicated teacher” at the full- or associate-professor level who will<br />
work “collaboratively to support teaching innovation by everyone on<br />
the faculty and support learning outcomes,” Maxfield said.<br />
The <strong>College</strong>’s new Core Curriculum, which took effect this fall, is<br />
an opportunity for the PCSB to further integrate the liberal arts and<br />
business, she said.<br />
“Our goal is to have as great a number of students studying as many<br />
subjects as possible. We want to build more organic connections to the<br />
humanities and the liberal arts,” said Maxfield.<br />
She noted that the revised Development of Western Civilization Program<br />
calls for students in the final sequence to consider a contemporary<br />
issue and how to apply classical thought to its resolution.<br />
(CONTINUED)<br />

mentor students.<br />

— WILLIAM F. MARKEY, JR. ’62, BUSINESS ADVISORY COUNCIL CHAIR<br />
“I’m very hopeful we will be able to have up to 25 percent of our<br />
School of Business faculty teaching jointly with humanities faculty in<br />
those colloquia,” Maxfield said.<br />
Maxfield said she wants to make sure that business students have the<br />
opportunity to study abroad because international travel is an important<br />
part of the <strong>College</strong>’s education.<br />
She also sees an opportunity to highlight the business school’s growing<br />
visibility in the area of ethical leadership and social responsibility in<br />
finance and accounting.<br />
Susan M. Esper ’91, a member of the Business Advisory Council, said<br />
Maxfield has “an extraordinary vision” for the business school.<br />
“To bring together two great things — the Dominican tradition and<br />
a liberal arts education — and to be among the very elite group of<br />
business schools in the country, you are going to have the best and<br />
brightest leaders coming out of campus,” said Esper. <br />

COUNCIL.<br />
In 2000, a push from alumni set the <strong>College</strong> on a course to establish<br />
a separate business school and to gain accreditation by AACSB International,<br />
the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.<br />
Kenneth G. Kraetzer ’79 realized the benefits of accreditation while<br />
studying for an M.B.A. at Iona <strong>College</strong>, which was in the process of<br />
attaining it. Kraetzer knew the distinction would benefit PC, too.<br />
“You can’t be a big-league college without it,” said Kraetzer. “It went<br />
from being a nice thing to a necessity.”<br />
In those days, all of PC’s undergraduate business departments —<br />
accountancy, finance, management, and marketing — operated<br />
independently, overseen by a vice president for academic administration,<br />
Dr. Thomas L. Canavan.<br />
To achieve accreditation would require reorganization and a yearslong<br />
commitment from faculty, staff, and administrators.<br />
To gain support for his accreditation proposal, Kraetzer enlisted the<br />
help of alumni on the Board of Trustees, including Alfred A. Lamy<br />
’53. Both were members of the New York Club of the National<br />
Alumni Association. Lamy arranged for them to travel to <strong>Providence</strong><br />
and make their pitch to Canavan.<br />
Canavan, while supportive, cautioned that the process would take<br />
many years. He needed the endorsement of then-<strong>College</strong> President<br />
Rev. Philip A. Smith, O.P. ’63 and the commitment of faculty, who<br />
ultimately would be responsible for the effort. But Kraetzer, who<br />
gathered a dozen alumni on a committee to garner support for the<br />
idea, was persistent.<br />

“Ken, when he gets on a mission, is one of those people who is kind<br />
of like a dog on a bone,” said E. James Mulcahy ’66, chairman of<br />
the <strong>College</strong>’s National Board of Overseers. “He is very loyal to the<br />
<strong>College</strong>, very cognizant of what it needs, just a smart guy. He did<br />
whatever he could to push it.”<br />
“Ken wanted to do it, but he didn’t know how to do it,” said Lamy.<br />
“He didn’t have the contacts. Since he knew me well from being on<br />
the New York Club, he asked me to help him. Canavan was the third<br />
person in the car. He was the implementation part of it.”<br />
In 2003, the business faculty voted to pursue accreditation. In 2004,<br />
after the four business disciplines were organized under a Division of<br />
Business Administration, Dr. Hugh F. Lena, provost and senior vice<br />
president for academic affairs, began overseeing the process.<br />
In 2007, with Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 as president, the <strong>College</strong><br />
established the School of Business with its first full-time dean.<br />
Last July, when accreditation was awarded, Dr. Patrick T. Kelly, associate<br />
professor of accountancy and then interim dean of the business<br />
school, reported an outpouring of congratulations from alumni.<br />
“It validates who we are and what we are,” said trustee Kevin C.<br />
Phelan ’66, a member of the Business Advisory Council who was<br />
involved in the early effort. “It moves us into a league that we believe<br />
we should be in and are now in, as validated by our peers. As a trustee,<br />
as an alum, as a business school alum, I’m very pleased.”

ST. DOMINIC WEEKEND<br />
ON A WEEKEND FILLED WITH PROGRAMMING AND MESSAGES OF GRATITUDE AND THE<br />
ANNOUNCEMENT OF A MULTI-MILLION-DOLLAR BEQUEST, PROVIDENCE COLLEGE HELD ITS<br />
TRUMP CARD UNTIL THE CLOSING ACT — RISING CATHOLIC MEDIA STAR MATT WEBER ’06,<br />
WHO EMPHATICALLY PROVED IT’S OK TO RETURN HOME.<br />
Weber’s comedic, but stirring, affirmation of Catholicism warranted<br />
a standing ovation at the St. Dominic Evening of Appreciation that<br />
capped a record-setting St. Dominic Weekend on October 12-13. The<br />
two days of events, programs, and receptions drew more benefactors<br />
and guests — more than 500 attended — than ever in the weekend’s<br />
four-year history.<br />
St. Dominic Weekend honors the <strong>College</strong>’s leading benefactors in the<br />
St. Dominic Society (annual giving), the Harkins Society (planned giving),<br />
and the 1917 Society (lifetime giving). This year’s theme, “Your<br />
Leadership. Your Impact.”, celebrated how generosity has transformed<br />
the learning experience for students and impacted the lives of the entire<br />
<strong>College</strong> community.<br />
“Your leadership giving impact has made <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> a great<br />
place,” <strong>College</strong> President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 told guests.<br />
“This weekend is a tremendous blessing.”<br />
“From all of the Dominicans here, you are a blessing and a prayer to<br />
us,” he added.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
The Evening of Appreciation, held at the Rhode Island Convention<br />
Center in <strong>Providence</strong>, featured these highlights:<br />
• Father Shanley announced a bequest of approximately $6.5 million<br />
from the estate of the late Robert H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon. The<br />
gift will endow the <strong>College</strong>’s first academic chair in the sciences<br />
and add millions of dollars to a scholarship fund and an academic<br />
fund in chemistry and the biological sciences. (See story on pages<br />
22-23.)<br />
• A seven-minute video conveyed testimonies of gratitude and the<br />
tangible impacts of philanthropy from students, faculty members,<br />
and administrators.<br />
• Nine of 16 new members were inducted into the 1917 Society,<br />
and four 1917 Society members were acknowledged for advancing<br />
from the Bronze Torchbearer to Silver Torchbearer status, signifying<br />
lifetime giving of at least $500,000.<br />
• Harkins Society members — including 17 who are new to the<br />
society this year — were recognized for including PC in their<br />
estate plans.<br />

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

ST. DOMINIC WEEKEND<br />
Annual Scholarship Donor Luncheon<br />
AN INVESTMENT IN TOMORROW<br />
By CHARLES C. JOYCE<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
THE QUOTES — INTERSPERSED WITH STUDENT-<br />
LIFE IMAGES — THAT PLAYED OUT ON THE<br />
SCREENS IN THE PETERSON RECREATION CENTER<br />
WERE SNIPPETS OF GRATITUDE THAT BELIED A<br />
DEEPER CIRCUMSTANCE OR STORY.<br />
“<strong>College</strong> was a dream, until I came to PC,” said one.<br />
“You are giving me more than an education … you’re providing<br />
a future of opportunity,” said another.<br />
These and similar heartfelt notes written by student recipients<br />
to benefactors underscored the impact of philanthropy on<br />
<strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> and its students at the “Offering Opportunity<br />
and Investing in Tomorrow’s Leaders” scholarship donor<br />
luncheon during St. Dominic Weekend. The annual event,<br />
where students sit alongside donors, celebrated St. Dominic<br />
Society members and their generosity to PC’s Endowed Scholarship<br />
Program, Torch Scholarship Program, Angel Fund, and<br />
PC Fund.<br />
In a program permeated by emotion and stories, Lisa M.<br />
Bousquet ’86 & ’15P, senior associate vice president for institutional<br />
advancement, reminded guests that providing students<br />
with an affordable Catholic and Dominican education<br />
is PC’s chief mission. She said the generosity of benefactors<br />
has led to the creation of more than 380 endowed funds.<br />
Furthermore, Bousquet related that in the most recent fiscal year:<br />
• Eighteen new scholarship funds were established.<br />
• Active scholarship funds resulted in more than $3.1 million<br />
in financial aid being distributed to more than 500 students.<br />
• Four new Torch Scholarships ($20,000 grants spread out<br />
over four years) were established.<br />
• More than $700,000 was donated to the Angel Fund,<br />
bringing the emergency fund for students and families in<br />
sudden financial distress to within sight of the cumulative<br />
$2 million mark in just its third year.<br />
A video featuring Haley Chapman ’15 (Hampton, Conn.), a<br />
Voll Torch Scholarship recipient, and Sandra Oliveira, executive<br />
director of financial aid, put the value of financial aid into<br />
meaning. Chapman expressed amazement at how someone<br />
she didn’t know could help her meet college expenses and proclaimed,<br />
“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<br />
that dream to reality.”<br />
<strong>College</strong> President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80 said it is stories like<br />
Chapman’s that “tug at my heart.” He said it is the <strong>College</strong>’s goal to<br />
one day meet 100 percent of student need. Expressing appreciation for<br />
donors’ ongoing support, he said providing financial aid “is the most<br />
important thing you could do for PC.”<br />
SCHOLARSHIPS “ADD HAPPY ENDINGS”<br />
Sharing her story as the luncheon’s keynote speaker was Sharon T. Driscoll<br />
’80 & ’16P, a PC trustee who is vice president for marketing and communications/global<br />
enterprise at IBM.<br />
Driscoll relived <strong>College</strong> memories, recalling the day her freshman year<br />
her father and mother helped her move in to McVinney Hall and how<br />
the next four years “greatly transformed” her.<br />
She said her PC education was profoundly impacted by Dr. Cemal A.<br />
Ekin, now retired professor of marketing, and several Dominicans who<br />
were teachers or administrators, including the late Rev. Thomas H.<br />
McBrien, O.P., Rev. Robert A. Morris, O.P. ’44, the late Rev. Francis C.<br />
Duffy, O.P. ’53, Rev. John S. Peterson, O.P. ’57, and Rev. Thomas J.<br />
Ertle, O.P. ’51 & ’82G.<br />
It is important that PC students continue to be supported through financial<br />
aid in order to be influenced by outstanding faculty and Dominicans,<br />
said Driscoll. She said her son, Griffin ’16, and a friend recently were<br />
talking about a new friend who had expressed concern about leaving PC<br />
after the first semester because his family had exhausted all of its means.<br />
“These scholarship funds help add happy endings to many of these difficult<br />
stories,” she stated.<br />
After her father died in April, Driscoll and her sister, Susan T. Smith ’83,<br />
decided that the best way to keep his spirit alive — and some day, their<br />
mother’s, she added — was to establish the Treacy Family Scholarship<br />
Fund in her parents’ names. The decision, she said, has given her peace of<br />
mind, knowing she will assist future students who will “build a beautiful<br />
PC mosaic.” <br />

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
By LIZ F. KAY<br />
Decades after benefiting from a Dominican’s<br />
generosity to complete his education, an<br />
alumnus left the <strong>College</strong> an approximately<br />
$6.5 million bequest to establish an academic<br />
chair and foster research and scholarship in<br />
chemistry and the biological sciences.<br />
Through his gift, which was announced during the recent St. Dominic Weekend<br />
(see pages 15-21), the late Robert H. Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon. endowed the<br />
<strong>College</strong>’s first academic chair in the sciences and added funds to the previously<br />
established Robert H. Walsh Scholarship Fund and the Robert H. Walsh ’39<br />
Academic Fund. When the final distribution of Mr. Walsh’s estate is complete,<br />
each fund will total more than $2 million.<br />
Mr. Walsh, a Platinum Torchbearer for gifts of $1 million and above in PC’s 1917<br />
Society, is one of the <strong>College</strong>’s all-time leading benefactors. He died last year.<br />
As an undergraduate, the Rhode Island native felt a great debt of gratitude to the<br />
late Rev. Frederick C. Hickey, O.P., then chair of the Department of Chemistry<br />
and later vice president for community affairs, said Joseph P. Brum ’68, special<br />
assistant to the president for development projects in the Office of Institutional<br />
Advancement. The Dominican allowed Mr. Walsh to work on campus as a lab<br />
attendant to pay his tuition.
“He credited Father Hickey with his success not only as a great teach-<br />
er,” Brum said. Father Hickey “went out of his way to help with the<br />
job in the lab and as a mentor.”<br />
After graduating with degrees in business and chemistry, Mr. Walsh<br />
began a 40-year career at the DuPont Chemical Corp. as one of the<br />
founders of its elastomers department. Company officials noted his<br />
knack for sales and put him in charge of sales and marketing in Europe.<br />
In 1996, he established his scholarship fund for chemistry majors<br />
with financial need. That year, the <strong>College</strong> honored Mr. Walsh, the<br />
late Samuel J. Chester ’34 & ’94Hon., and the late Rev. Charles<br />
V. Reichart, O.P. ’32 by dedicating the Albertus Magnus Science<br />
Complex to them.<br />
Brum met with Mr. Walsh regularly at his homes in Delaware and<br />
Pennsylvania, often accompanied by the president or other officials<br />
from the <strong>College</strong>. Mr. Walsh would give them handwritten notes<br />
with ideas to improve academic programs at PC. One was his academic<br />
fund, which will fund student and faculty enrichment outside<br />
of the classroom, such as travel to academic conferences.<br />
RAISING THE RESEARCH AND LEARNING BAR<br />
Dr. Paul T. Czech, professor of chemistry and chair of the chemistry<br />
and biochemistry department, said his colleagues and he hope to<br />
provide more research opportunities for students through summer<br />
stipends for faculty and students as well as financial support to present<br />
work at scientific meetings.<br />
The department also plans to purchase supplies for freshmen and<br />
sophomores to work on research projects for credit — opportunities<br />
available for the first time this year. With additional funds, those students<br />
can “get their feet wet at a lower level,” said Czech.<br />
Hilary Chase ’13 (South Sandwich, Mass.) is a Walsh Scholarship<br />
recipient and president of PC’s American Chemical Society/Phi Chi<br />
chapter. As a researcher in the lab of Dr. Christopher M. Laperle,<br />
assistant professor of chemistry, she knows how powerful research<br />
opportunities can be.<br />
In April, Chase won honors for her presentation on the solution<br />
dynamics of iron pentacarbonyl — a center metal atom bound<br />
by five carbon monoxide molecules — at the American Chemical<br />
Society’s national conference. She is the lead author on a paper<br />
that is being submitted this fall to a scientific journal.<br />
“You take AWAY SO MUCH NEW<br />
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE<br />
by attending different talks, presenting<br />
your own research, and by interacting<br />
with other scientists …”<br />
— HILARY CHASE ’13<br />
She plans to continue her research in graduate school. “For me, physical<br />
chemistry research is one of the most challenging things I have done<br />
as an undergrad,” Chase said. “I’ve gained valuable experience that I<br />
would not have been able to obtain in a classroom setting alone.”<br />
The senior said she appreciates the donations from Mr. Walsh. “I’m<br />
just proud that he has put all this effort into our education,” she said.<br />
Chase was particularly grateful for the opportunity to travel to conferences.<br />
At these meetings, “You take away so much new knowledge<br />
and experience by attending different talks, presenting your own research,<br />
and by interacting with other scientists in different aspects of<br />
chemistry.”<br />
Another Walsh Scholarship recipient, Giovanni Esposito ’14 (Branford,<br />
Conn.), is preparing for medical school while serving as a member<br />
of the Friars Club and president of the A Cappella Club. Last<br />
summer, he interned for a chemical manufacturer.<br />
“I know that my education at <strong>Providence</strong> wouldn’t be possible without<br />
the generous donation from Mr. Walsh,” he said. “All I can hope<br />
is that I can be at the point in my life to give back and pay it forward.<br />
I know how much of an impact it’s made in my own education. I<br />
would love to be able to make the same impact in someone else’s.” <br />

The brightly patterned shoulder bags, wristlets,<br />
head wraps, and bangles sold by Njabini Apparel are<br />
simple accessories, but they’re making it possible for<br />
eight women in a small African village to support<br />
their families.<br />
The mothers of Njabini, Kenya, have a source of income<br />
thanks to Erin O’Malley ’13 (Milton, Mass.),<br />
a management major at <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
In January 2011, O’Malley volunteered with Flying<br />
Kites, a non-profit organization operating an orphanage<br />
and school in Njabini. There she met Michael<br />
Behan, a student at Northeastern University, who was<br />
responsible for directing Flying Kites’ community outreach<br />
program.<br />

Erin O’Malley ’13 displays some of the Kenyan women’s<br />
crafts on campus last spring.<br />
Together, they created Njabini Apparel — renting<br />
a workshop, sourcing local materials, and hiring disabled<br />
mothers to sew bags and wristlets, knit hats and<br />
scarves, and make sandals from recycled tires.<br />
>>>
EXPLICITLY ENTREPRENEURIAL<br />
Behan, the chief executive officer, and O’Malley, the marketing<br />
director, began selling the goods online at www.njabiniapparel.org<br />
and used a consolidated shipping container from Kenya Airways<br />
to bring the items to the United States.<br />
When O’Malley returned to PC in September 2011, she brought<br />
with her a car full of Njabini Apparel products and a newfound<br />
passion for social entrepreneurship.<br />
At first, she found customers among her classmates, at home parties,<br />
and at festivals and farmers markets. More recently, Njabini<br />
Apparel has been introduced in retail stores in Saratoga, N.Y.;<br />
Fairfield, Conn.; Portsmouth, N.H.; Newport, R.I.; and Boston,<br />
providing a steady stream of income for the company.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
O’Malley also found an important ally in Dr. Matthew Eriksen,<br />
professor of management, who became her advisor. Though an<br />
undergraduate, she took his M.B.A. course on social entrepreneurship<br />
as a directed study. She also developed a proposal, now<br />
pending before the Faculty Senate, to create a minor in social<br />
entrepreneurship for students.<br />
Last spring, three marketing classes taught by special lecturer<br />
Edward Gonsalves competed to create the best video promoting<br />
Njabini Apparel. O’Malley and Behan, who were among the judges,<br />
plan to use all three on their website.<br />
O’Malley spent the summer in Kenya, and Behan returned there<br />
this fall. A Njabini native, Tom Mwangi, manages in-country
operations for them. Under the company’s profit-sharing model,<br />
50 percent of gross profits is returned to the women as salary, 20<br />
percent is donated to Flying Kites, and 30 percent is reinvested in<br />
financial literacy and business training programs.<br />
In June, through revenue and a grant, Njabini Apparel launched a<br />
pilot credit program, offering the mothers access to loans for the first<br />
time. Both the credit and financial training programs “enable the<br />
mothers to leverage their income, invest in their own businesses, and<br />
empower them to become self-sufficient,” O’Malley said.<br />
The company also leased two acres of farmland so that another 10<br />
women in the village can earn income through harvesting. Profits<br />
from the crop sales will fund Njabini’s program development. The<br />
company also brought representatives of a national bank to the<br />
village to offer weekly sessions on personal budgeting, savings, and<br />
debt management.<br />
In September, O’Malley traveled to Youth Trade Seattle 2012 to pitch<br />
her company’s product line and business model at a trade show that<br />
matches young entrepreneurs with large-scale retailers. She signed a<br />
contract with Whole Foods Markets to sell Njabini Apparel in 14<br />
stores in the Pacific Northwest and four stores in Canada.<br />
“It’s a dichotomy of feelings for me. The past year and a half has<br />
been both the most energizing and most humbling period of my<br />
life,” said O’Malley. “We’ve grown from one woman, knitting hats<br />
and scarves, to eight women, employed every day. Their children are<br />
enrolled full time in school, their path to financial literacy has begun,<br />
and their businesses are in incubation. There’s a long road ahead, and<br />
I’m thrilled to see where it will lead us.” <br />

Stephen Squillante Jr. ’12 invented the Teecil (www.teecil.com)<br />
out of frustration. After too many moments wasted on the golf<br />
course while his father fumbled for either his golf pencil or a<br />
tee, the management major told himself, “I might as well make<br />
both of them into one.” He made the first prototypes the summer<br />
before his junior year at PC. Then, while conducting market<br />
research for a course, Squillante discovered that 2 billion<br />
tees are used annually in the United States. He went into business the<br />
following summer, manufacturing each Teecil by hand in his garage.<br />
But he couldn’t keep up with demand — it took him 10 to 12<br />
hours to manufacture 1,000. The Weymouth, Mass., resident now<br />
uses a custom-designed machine to make up to 10,000 a day. He<br />
has shown the Teecil at trade shows and estimates he has sold about<br />
50,000 since graduation.<br />

Chris Riccobono ’01<br />
launched UNTUCKit, a<br />
New York-based company<br />
that specializes in men’s<br />
button-down shirts meant<br />
to be worn with their tails<br />
out. “For as long as I can<br />
remember, I couldn’t find<br />
a button-down shirt that<br />
wasn’t too long when untucked,”<br />
he said. And 95<br />
percent of the men he surveyed<br />
agreed. Riccobono worked with 11 shirt specialists and 30<br />
samples before hitting on a workable fit. “No one understood how<br />
to factor in length,” said the finance major, who earned an M.B.A.<br />
at Columbia Business School. Riccobono said 35 percent of his customers<br />

Dinos Stamoulis ’07, who played professional hockey for three years after college, and his wife, Katelyn (Auclair)<br />
Stamoulis ’07, a gourmet cook, launched Paleonola (www.paleonola.com), a line of grain-free granola, in spring 2011.<br />
Katelyn developed the recipe in her kitchen as part of the couple’s commitment to the “Paleo” diet, which includes wild<br />
meats, organic vegetables, nuts, and seeds, but no grains, dairy products, or legumes. The granola is sold online and in<br />
natural food markets, including Whole Foods Markets in Rhode Island. Offered in flavors that include Original, Chocolate<br />
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<br />
students in a four-month trip by sea around the world, stopping in 14 countries<br />
in Africa, Asia, and Central America. After returning home, Holterman and two<br />
friends created Serengetee (www.serengetee.com), a company that sells T-shirts and<br />
tank tops, each containing a breast pocket made with fabric from a country they<br />
visited. The company donates a portion of its sales to a charity in each country.<br />
Holterman, a humanities major who is Serengetee’s head cause coordinator, said<br />
that since the startup launched in February, more than $2,000 has been given<br />
to charities in Tanzania, Mexico, and Haiti. Online sales have reached 2,000<br />
shirts a month. Serengetee imports fabric, buys shirts wholesale from an American<br />
manufacturer, and employs tailors in California to sew on the pockets. Its<br />
slogan: “Wear the World.” “We were inspired by the world,” said Holterman.<br />
“We wanted to give back to the world we came to love.”<br />
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<br />
arrived in supermarket freezers in March 2011 after Klane and her business partner, Drew Harrington, with help from chemists at the University<br />
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,<br />
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<br />
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<br />
your instincts and your ideas and go for it. You have to be willing to take the risk if you believe in your product.” <br />

FaithWorks participants signed up for five days of service-immersion, assisting social service organizations affiliated<br />
with the Diocese of <strong>Providence</strong> and reflecting on their experiences afterward. The new program, developed as part of<br />
the Strategic Plan by the Office of Mission and Ministry, stems from the <strong>College</strong>’s Catholic and Dominican mission<br />
of fostering community, service, and solidarity for its students.<br />
Based in <strong>Providence</strong>, the freshmen painted a men’s dormitory at Emmanuel House, a shelter for the homeless, and<br />
participated in a fitness class with older adults and their grandchildren at the St. Martin de Porres Center for seniors.<br />
They also met with refugee families and reviewed citizenship information with clients at Immigration & Family<br />
Services, learned more about the mission of the Office of Life & Family Ministry, and visited Rhode Island Department<br />
of Corrections facilities at the state prison in Cranston.<br />

Students painting at Emmanuel House appreciated the opportu-<br />
nity to get settled at school and in their new city.<br />
“It’s great to get on campus early and get to know people,” said<br />
Kristen Gold ’16 (Somers, N.Y.) “I’m not going to be one of<br />
those people who’s going to be closed up on campus.”<br />
Gold said during high school she had traveled to Kentucky for<br />
mission trips that offered vacation bible school and opportunities<br />
to visit with seniors and distribute resources such as clothes<br />
to those in need.<br />
Through FaithWorks, “we’re not just doing work,” Gold said.<br />
“This is immersion.”<br />
Giselle Bonilla ’16 (Hyde Park, Mass.) also has an impressive<br />
record of community service that includes culling dead trees in<br />
Colorado and working in a Rwandan orphanage. “I wanted to<br />
be more involved in the community of <strong>Providence</strong>,” she said of<br />
FaithWorks.<br />
Emmanuel House’s site director, Dotty Perreault, said it was<br />
once home to a daycare center run by the diocese but remained<br />
empty for six years before reopening as a day shelter.<br />
Perreault described the work performed by the students as<br />
“tremendous.” “It’s well overdue,” she said. “A fresh coat of paint<br />
can lift people’s spirits.”<br />

The students started off the service program with tours of the<br />
Smith Hill neighborhood to introduce them to the history of<br />
the local community, said Richard Lumley, one of the campus<br />
ministers overseeing the program. Teens from the YouthRAP<br />
program of the Smith Hill Development Corporation led the<br />
walks with FaithWorks student coordinators and staff.<br />
The group learned about the history of Irish, Armenian, and<br />
Jewish immigrants, as well as more recent arrivals from Southeast<br />
Asia, Central America, and Africa. It also visited nonprofit<br />
organizations dedicated to assisting underprivileged residents.<br />
Stephen Beck ’16 (Wilton, Conn.) said he appreciated the<br />
chance to get to know the areas surrounding PC. “If we didn’t<br />
do the tour, there would be parts of <strong>Providence</strong> we would have<br />
never gotten to see,” Beck said.<br />
For some students, their experience in the program confirmed<br />
that they had made the right college decision.<br />
“I’ve only been in <strong>Providence</strong> a total of 48 hours and I already<br />
love it here,” said Abbey Guerino ’16 (Milford, Conn.). “I feel<br />
like we’ve formed a community in just two days.” <br />

When Stephen P. Markus died suddenly last fall, his family and<br />
friends were so moved by the support his son, Kevin ’15, received<br />
from the <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> community that they felt compelled<br />
to give back.<br />
So Mr. Markus’ wife, Lynn, and friends organized a golf tournament<br />
in his memory. The “Nine and Dine Charity Event,” held in<br />
June at the Wheatley Hills Golf Club in the Markus’ hometown<br />
of East Williston, N.Y., hosted 282 people for golf, dinner, and<br />
live and silent auctions. It raised an incredible $105,000 for the<br />
<strong>College</strong>’s Angel Fund.<br />
The idea for an Angel Fund benefit gathered steam when two longtime<br />
friends of the Markus family, Sheila A. ’79 and Jerry McEnery,<br />
approached Bob Gorman ’78, a PC trustee, about the logistics of<br />
an event for the fund.<br />
The Angel Fund provides emergency financial aid to students whose<br />
families face unexpected and extraordinary financial challenges.<br />
Kevin Markus had become a beneficiary of the fund after his father’s<br />
death.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
Robert Ferreira ’83, assistant vice president for alumni relations,<br />
said Mr. Markus frequently expressed gratitude for the education<br />
and support his three children experienced at the <strong>College</strong>: Kevin,<br />
Katelyn ’09, and Daniel, who began his college education here.<br />
“Mr. Markus wasn’t a PC alum, but between his children and his<br />
longtime family friend, Sheila McEnery, he felt he was surrounded<br />
by the PC community,” said Ferreira, who helped the group organize<br />
the fundraiser.<br />
“The family decided the best way to honor his gratitude and to<br />
show their appreciation for the support that Kevin received, both<br />
emotionally and through the Angel Fund, was to support the same<br />
fund that supported the family in their time of need,” he added.<br />
Jerry McEnery, who was a high school classmate of Mr. Markus,<br />
said a golf tournament was an obvious choice for a fund-raiser.<br />
“Steve loved to play the game and enjoyed the camaraderie,” said<br />
McEnery. “He loved what <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> did for his children.<br />
It was an easy decision.”<br />
In addition to Jerry McEnery, chief organizers were Daniel Markus<br />
and family friends Keith Hughes, Chris Sauvigne, Jerry Sauvigne,<br />
and Jim Arseneault. Lynn Markus and several of the organizers’ wives<br />
assisted in the planning and volunteered the day of the tournament.<br />
Ferreira said the event’s success is a credit to the tireless work of Mr.<br />
Markus’ family and friends.<br />
“This group was a pleasure to work with, and so well organized,” he<br />
said. “Their enthusiasm and dedication were remarkable.” <br />

As Rhode Island’s first female public defender, Mary S. McElroy ’87 is<br />
in good company.<br />
When she was sworn in for her six-year appointment in July, a number<br />
of the presiding judges of the state’s judiciary were present — many of<br />
them women themselves. “That was unheard of even five years and 10<br />
years ago,” McElroy said.<br />
Ironically, the law was not her lifelong ambition. After graduating from<br />
PC, she worked as a waitress and for the political campaign of former<br />
R.I. Attorney General James E. O’Neil. The following year, she got a<br />
job in his office as a paralegal in the public utilities regulation division.<br />
McElroy enrolled at Suffolk University School of Law and, after graduating<br />
with cum laude honors, clerked for Judge Donald F. Shea of the<br />
R.I. Supreme Court and joined a medical malpractice defense firm. She<br />
then moved on to the Office of the Public Defender, where she stayed<br />
for 12 years.<br />
In her new role leading the Office of the Public Defender, the Rhode<br />
Island native oversees 93 employees and a budget of $11 million. This<br />
includes 49 attorneys who handle 20,000 cases a year. The office,<br />
founded in 1941, provides legal representation for people who can’t<br />
afford it.<br />
“Ultimately, the state accuses and we defend,” she said. “If you’re forced<br />
to defend yourself with your own resources and you don’t have them,<br />
then that accusation becomes much more powerful.”<br />
As a student, she chose PC because of the Development of Western Civilization<br />
Program and the Liberal Arts Honors Program. In DWC, students<br />
examine how everything connects — history, science, and literature.<br />
“What I learned is that when you figure out how those things relate,<br />
then you understand better how things happen. We do that every day as<br />
public defenders,” she said. <br />

WYNN SCHOLARSHIP FUND<br />
By LAURA DUNN<br />
Paul F. Wynn, Esq. ’65 comes from a long line of <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
alumni. His father, two brothers, two sons, and a niece all attended PC.<br />
In addition to their love for the <strong>College</strong>, Wynn’s family shares a strong<br />
work ethic and a “can do” attitude. It was these values, reflected in the<br />
drive of his physically disabled nephew, Derry Mason, that inspired him<br />
to found the Paul F. ’65 Esq. and Linda Wynn Scholarship Fund in 1992.<br />
Mason was born with a leg deformity as a result of his father’s exposure<br />
to Agent Orange while serving in Vietnam. At age 14, tired of not being<br />
able to walk normally, he had his leg amputated in favor of a more<br />
functional prosthetic. From then on, Wynn said, Mason never let the<br />
handicap hold him back.<br />
When Mason applied to Middlebury <strong>College</strong>, Wynn encouraged him<br />
to inquire about scholarships for disabled students. There weren’t any,<br />
but Mason continued his studies there nonetheless, graduating in 1997.<br />
It was when his nephew was applying to college that Wynn decided to<br />
set up just such a scholarship at PC.<br />
For the past 20 years, it has helped to fund the education of students like<br />
Mason who, despite the challenges of a physical disability and limited<br />
financial resources, press on to achieve their goals.<br />
Now in his mid-30s, Mason lives a life full of adventure. He’s the director<br />
of outdoor education at Mercersburg Academy in Pennsylvania, has<br />
Paul F. and Linda Wynn<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
FUNDING STUDENTS’ FUTURES<br />
raced sailboats in Bermuda, and enjoys lacrosse, skiing, and rock and ice<br />
climbing. Wynn is inspired by his nephew’s outlook and understands<br />
the challenges of affording an education.<br />
Wynn himself attended PC as a day student while working multiple<br />
jobs, often hitchhiking to and from campus and work. To pay for his<br />
education, he worked in a brickyard, at a grocery store, a pharmacy,<br />
and as a night watchman. He never received financial aid. He said the<br />
experience he had at PC helped shape his career as an attorney.<br />
“The teachers I had were very good. They gave me a foundation for<br />
my future. Besides teaching you how to think, they set up some moral<br />
parameters, which continued past college,” he said.<br />
Wynn has achieved great success since then and feels indebted to the<br />
<strong>College</strong> for the foundation it gave him.<br />
He is a founding partner of Wynn & Wynn, P.C. in Raynham, Mass.,<br />
a law firm he started with his brother, Thomas J. Wynn, Jr., Esq. ’62,<br />
in 1970. The firm has four offices with more than 30 lawyers. Active at<br />
PC, he was a trustee for eight years and currently serves on the School<br />
of Business Advisory Council and the <strong>Providence</strong> President’s Council.<br />
“This scholarship, along with my continuing involvement with the<br />
<strong>College</strong>, is my way of paying back the education I received there,”<br />
he said. <br />
Paul F. Wynn, Esq. ’65, whose endowed scholarship fund is valued at over $650,000, wants<br />
people to know that donating to PC doesn’t have to be difficult or cost a lot of out-of-pocket<br />
money. In addition to cash, Wynn contributes to his fund through:<br />
• Gifts from appreciated stock. By giving this way, he receives a tax deduction for the charitable contribution<br />
and doesn’t have to pay capital gains taxes. So the donation, while substantial, doesn’t require any direct<br />
out-of-pocket funding.<br />
• A $1 million term life insurance policy, where Wynn is the insured, but PC is the policy owner and<br />
beneficiary. He pays the policy premiums (about $6,800 per year) through appreciated stock, giving him the<br />
same benefits as the direct cash gifts from appreciated stock.

PC offers R.I.’s first master’s program<br />
in urban teaching<br />
<strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> has partnered with Teach For America to offer Rhode<br />
Island’s first master’s degree in urban teaching, with a focus on narrowing<br />
the achievement gap in urban schools. The program is open to certified<br />
teachers with at least one year’s experience working in an urban school<br />
and can be completed within one academic year and two summers.<br />
The 10-course, 30-credit sequence will offer concentrations in education<br />
administration, middle-level education, special education, literacy, and<br />
counseling. Faculty from PC’s undergraduate and graduate schools, as<br />
well as professionals from local urban school departments and the Rhode<br />
Island Department of Education, will teach in the program.<br />
Twenty-five students and two faculty members extended the academic<br />
year last May with a rich, curriculum-based, study abroad experience<br />
called “Maymester.” Students took an intense, one-week course on campus,<br />
Early Celtic Ireland and Roman Britain: A Clash of Cultures, then<br />
explored both countries for two weeks before producing a paper after<br />
their return.<br />
The group toured downtown London, Stonehenge, and Hadrian’s Wall;<br />
viewed The Book of Kells at Trinity <strong>College</strong>’s library; and took a trip to a<br />
monastery on an island off the southwest coast of Ireland.<br />
Now in its third year, Maymester was organized by the Department of<br />
History and co-sponsored by the Department of Art and Art History and<br />
the graduate program in history. This year’s course was led by Dr. Karen<br />
A. Holland ’73, assistant professor of history, and Dr. Despina D. Prassas,<br />

BACK IN<br />
WILL, DETERMINATION HELP THEROUX ’89 OVERCOME NEAR-PARALYZING ACCIDENT<br />
By MIKE SCANDURA<br />
Trent Theroux ’89 swims in the pool at PC’s Taylor Natatorium.<br />

IN THE DAYS FOLLOWING SEPTEMBER 23,<br />
2002, TRENT THEROUX ’89 SPENT HOURS<br />
REFLECTING ON HOW HE COULD RECOVER<br />
<strong>FR</strong>OM A NEAR-PARALYZING ACCIDENT.<br />
A four-year swimmer at PC, Theroux was kayaking that day<br />
in Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay. A speedboat plowed into<br />
him. The propeller severed the major muscles in the left side<br />
of his back and carved out five bones in his spinal column.<br />
“I remember my feelings as if they were yesterday,” said<br />
Theroux, who specialized in the backstroke. “Ten years have<br />
gone by in a blink. I remember being in the water, the hospital,<br />
and the rehabilitation process.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
“I convinced myself as I moved through everything on my<br />
wish list that I could do the next one. Once I got to the<br />
point of walking I said, ‘I can do this, and now I can do the<br />
next one.’ Once I could climb a flight of stairs I said, ‘Let’s<br />
do the next one.’”<br />
Walking and climbing stairs is one thing. What the<br />
Barrington, R.I., resident has done since completing his rehabilitation<br />
is another — well beyond the realm of a wish list.
Since 2004, he has accomplished the following: competed in two<br />
Ironman triathlons; run in seven marathons; trained five days a<br />
week at two local swim clubs; and created and completed “Back<br />
to Block 2012” on September 8. He swam from Point Judith, on<br />
Rhode Island’s coast, to Block Island — approximately 13 miles —<br />
to raise more than $40,000 for RISE Against Paralysis.<br />
Theroux’s determination throughout his rehabilitation and training<br />
was relentless, but grueling.<br />
“There were opposing forces within me,” said Theroux, a PC accountancy<br />
graduate who is the director of finance for an engineering firm and<br />
an adjunct professor of graduate studies at Johnson & Wales University.<br />
“My mind wanted to achieve something, but my body physically told<br />
me to hold back the reins. My mind was soaring to where I wanted to go,<br />
but it took a long time before my body would let me go.”<br />
A positive influence throughout his rehab and training was his wife,<br />
Jennifer. “She was extraordinarily supportive,” he said.<br />

DETERMINED DEMEANOR<br />
Those close to Theroux aren’t surprised by his accomplishments.<br />
“He’s super-motivated to do what he can do to help people based on<br />
what he’s been through,” said John O’Neill, PC men’s and women’s<br />
swimming and diving head coach. “You see it in his eyes when you<br />
look at him.<br />
“He sets goals for himself and has gone right through them. It makes<br />
sense in the bigger picture. He willed himself to return to health and<br />
be able to accomplish things athletically.<br />
“I can’t say enough about his willpower,” continued O’Neill. “You<br />
combine that with the support of his family and there really isn’t a<br />
limit to what an athlete can accomplish. The lofty goals he set can be<br />
a powerful motivator.”<br />
Jay Holbrook ’89, a teammate of Theroux’s, saw something during<br />
their PC years that convinced him Theroux could overcome<br />
any obstacle.<br />
“Trent’s always been somebody of exceptional talent,” he said. “The<br />
best of the best compete against themselves in terms of how they<br />
achieve their ultimate potential. It doesn’t surprise me that Trent’s<br />
been a successful individual and has been able to overcome the<br />
obstacles placed in front of him.<br />
“He’s always loved and lived life to the fullest. When he gets passionate<br />
about something, he attacks it with everything he has.”<br />
Theroux remains passionate about his PC years, particularly the<br />
relationships he maintains with O’Neill and swim teammates. The<br />
boating accident only served to heighten his perspective.<br />
“The accident put so much of my life into focus,” he said. “It gave<br />
me more appreciation of life than I would have had without it.” <br />

‘FAME’ INDUCTION<br />
NOT ALL ABOUT ME
“Humbling” is the adjective New Jersey Devils President, CEO, and<br />
General Manager Lou Lamoriello ’63 & ’01Hon. uses when discussing<br />
his induction into the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame — his second Hall of<br />
Fame honor in three years.<br />
Lamoriello, who was selected in the “Builders” category, was inducted<br />
in October with former Dallas Stars’ great Mike Modano and former<br />
player/current TV analyst Ed Olczyk.<br />
“The Hockey Hall of Fame (Lamoriello was inducted in 2009) was predicated<br />
on my years in New Jersey,” said Lamoriello. “The U.S. Hockey<br />
Hall of Fame is an encompassing situation based on my time at <strong>Providence</strong>,<br />
the (USA Hockey) sports festivals, and the NHL.<br />
“They’re different in their own way yet they’re very humbling, but it<br />
comes from your profession. It’s an indication of the great people I’ve had<br />
working with and around me and the players around me.<br />
“In a team sport,” continued Lamoriello, “there’s no individual. I was very<br />
fortunate in my early years at <strong>Providence</strong> because of the structure of the<br />
athletic department. I played (baseball) for Alex Nahigian and (hockey)<br />
for Tom Eccleston. Whenever you get an award in a team sport, you’re<br />
really representing everybody with whom you’ve been associated. It sometimes<br />
is humbling because you’re in the forefront of everybody else.”<br />
Lamoriello is entering his 25th season with the Devils, who’ve won three<br />
Stanley Cup championships during his tenure. How does the 70-year-old<br />
maintain the enthusiasm and work ethic he exuded as a Friar studentathlete<br />
and coach?<br />
“Winning keeps you motivated, along with the love of the game,” he said.<br />
“You’re also trying to participate in other people’s lives and be influential.<br />
If you can help other people along the way, or be part of their success,<br />
there’s no greater feeling than when you win and watch the faces of the<br />
players and fans and remember the sacrifices they’ve made.”<br />
His days at <strong>Providence</strong> were transformative as well.<br />
“The foundation and the support I received with the Dominican influence,<br />
I wouldn’t trade for anything,” said Lamoriello. “It was very rewarding<br />
to see the student-athletes you coached and helped develop part of<br />
their education go on to be successful.” <br />
LOU LAMORIELLO ’63 & ’01HON.<br />
As president, CEO, and general<br />

Veteran Duke coach to lead PC lacrosse<br />
Chris Gabrielli, a six-year Duke University assistant coach who helped guide<br />
the Blue Devils to the 2010 national championship, was named <strong>Providence</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> lacrosse coach in June.<br />
“<strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> has made a great choice,” said Duke Head Coach John<br />
Danowski. “He is a wonderful person, who is a great teacher of the game, with<br />
a voracious appetite to learn.”<br />
At Duke, Gabrielli served as recruiting coordinator while working primarily with<br />
the Blue Devils’ defensive unit. Duke made six NCAA semifinal appearances and<br />
won four ACC conference tournament championships during his time there.<br />
Gabrielli is a Farmingdale, N.Y., native who was a four-year letter winner at<br />

Dave Gavitt posthumously awarded NACDA honor<br />
Citing Dave Gavitt’s extraordinary accomplishments during his 11-year tenure<br />
as <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> athletic director, the National Association of Collegiate<br />
Directors of Athletics (NACDA) posthumously awarded him the organization’s<br />
Cunningham Lifetime Achievement Award in June. It is the association’s<br />
highest award.<br />
The former Friar basketball coach, who died in September 2011, oversaw the<br />
PC athletics program during a period of change and expansion between 1971<br />
and 1982, as the number of varsity sports grew from seven to 24. The driving<br />
force behind formation of the BIG EAST, he served as conference commissioner<br />
from its founding in 1979 through 1990. He later served as Boston<br />
Celtics’ chief executive officer and as NCAA Foundation president.<br />
CBS Sports executive tapped to lead BIG EAST<br />
Mike Aresco, executive vice president/programming<br />
for CBS Sports, was named commissioner<br />
of the BIG EAST by the conference’s presidents in<br />
August. Aresco, who previously worked at ESPN<br />
for 12 years, joined CBS Sports in 1996. He is<br />
highly regarded for his breadth of experience and<br />
depth of knowledge in intercollegiate athletics.<br />
At CBS Sports, Aresco was responsible for managing<br />
the division’s college sports properties, including<br />
contract negotiations and future acquisitions for the NCAA Men’s Basketball<br />
Championship, regular-season college basketball, and bowl football games. He<br />
was instrumental in negotiating the landmark agreement with the NCAA that<br />
granted CBS Sports and Turner Sports exclusive rights to the NCAA Men’s<br />
Basketball Tournament through 2024.<br />
“His knowledge and experience make him the ideal person to lead the BIG<br />
EAST in the new world that is collegiate athletics,” said Robert G. Driscoll Jr.,<br />
PC associate vice president for athletics and athletic director. “We look forward<br />
to working with him and seeing the league continue to prosper as one of the top<br />
conferences in the nation.”

CONNECTIONS<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
By LIZ F. KAY
Colleen Cronin Duffy ’83 knows PC is always there for her.<br />
“You don’t even have to ask — help just arrives on your doorstep,” she said. “The<br />
Dominicans are there for a lifetime.”<br />
Duffy and her husband, Francis Duffy ’83, experienced this firsthand while caring<br />
for their daughter, Meghan, who died of bone cancer in 2007.<br />
Rev. John S. Peterson, O.P. ’57, National Alumni Association chaplain, “found us<br />
at Children’s [Boston Children’s Hospital] at a time when we didn’t expect him<br />
but needed him the most,” Duffy said. “That kind of spiritual reinforcement was<br />
absolutely key to us getting through the worst thing that a parent can ever endure.”<br />
It’s that support that motivates the newly elected president of the alumni association’s<br />
Board of Governors (BOG) to give back to the <strong>College</strong>. She has served one<br />
year as treasurer and two years as vice president.<br />
As a fundraiser herself, Duffy said she has a “unique appreciation” of what is required<br />
to maintain scholarships for students as well as activities at PC. A former<br />
lawyer for MassHousing and Fannie Mae, she leads the Meghan K. Duffy Foundation,<br />
named in her daughter’s honor. The organization seeks to ease the financial<br />
burden of families with children diagnosed with cancer, as well as provide funding<br />
for education.<br />
Duffy and BOG Vice President Michael P. Lynch are planning for their two-year<br />
terms with Robert Ferreira, assistant vice president for alumni relations. All three<br />
are members of the Class of 1983.<br />
“I think this is a really exciting time to be leading the alumni association because<br />
there is so much going on,” Duffy said. “Investment in the liberal arts through the<br />
Ruane Center for the Humanities, the accreditation of the School of Business, and<br />
infrastructure improvement to support athletics are all very important indicators<br />
of where PC is headed and essential to our goal to be among the top of our peer<br />
institutions in the Northeast.”<br />
They have chosen several focus areas, including increasing alumni participation<br />
at events such as Alumni and Family Weekend, A Night in Black and White, and<br />
Reunion Weekend, as well as improving communications with regional clubs and<br />
class agents. They also plan more collaboration with the Office of Admission and<br />
academic departments.<br />
Finally, Duffy and BOG members will work on succession planning to identify<br />
leaders so the organization maintains a vibrant board in the future. <br />
THREE NEW OFFICERS AND FOUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS<br />

SAMUEL J. CHESTER ’34 & ’94Hon.<br />
Samuel J. Chester ’34 & ’94Hon., a medi-<br />
cal researcher and a philanthropist who<br />
was one of <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s oldest<br />
active alumni, died July 6 at his home in<br />
Cranston, R.I.<br />
Mr. Chester studied biology at PC and<br />
hoped to enroll in medical school, but<br />
his father’s illness forced him to work to<br />
support his family. He was successful in<br />
business, founding Standard Wire Co. in Cranston and running it for<br />
25 years until his retirement in 1968.<br />
He then turned his attention to medical research. Mr. Chester volunteered<br />
as a cancer researcher at Rhode Island Hospital, Roger Williams<br />
Medical Center, and the <strong>Providence</strong> Veterans Administration Medical<br />
Center. He published two papers and worked to develop a blood test to<br />
detect colon cancer.<br />
Mr. Chester met his wife, Esther, a pianist and artist, when her musical<br />
group needed a violinist to make a quintet. They celebrated their 50th<br />
wedding anniversary in November 2011. Mrs. Chester died in February.<br />
JOSEPH P. VAGHI, JR. ’42D<br />
Joseph P. Vaghi, Jr. ’42D, the youngest<br />
and the last-surviving of 18 beach masters<br />
at the D-Day invasion of Omaha<br />
Beach in Normandy during World War<br />
II, died on August 25 in Bethesda, Md.<br />
Mr. Vaghi was just a 23-year-old U.S.<br />
Navy platoon commander and beach<br />
master with the 6th Naval Beach Battalion<br />
at Omaha Beach on June 6, 1944,<br />
during the D-Day invasion. Called “traffic cops in hell,” the beach masters<br />
directed the arrival of thousands of troops and evacuated the wounded<br />
and dead while under intense German artillery fire and surrounded by<br />
land mines and other obstacles.<br />
At one point, Mr. Vaghi removed two gasoline cans and several boxes<br />
of hand grenades from a burning Jeep, saving the lives of many in the<br />
immediate vicinity. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for heroism.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
Mr. Chester, who also composed songs, was a violinist with the Rhode<br />
Island Symphony Orchestra until age 85.<br />
A profile written in the <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> magazine in 1992 said Mr.<br />
Chester’s accomplishments “have come from hard work, determination,<br />
curiosity, a thirst for knowledge, boundless energy, and a compelling<br />
passion and love for mankind.”<br />
Mr. Chester most recently attended Reunion Weekend in June, at age<br />
99, participating in the Golden Friars dinner. The Chesters were Bronze<br />
Torchbearers in the <strong>College</strong>’s 1917 Society, a distinction that recognizes<br />
lifetime contributions of $250,000 or more. They donated Mrs. Chester’s<br />
lithographs to the <strong>College</strong> and to educational institutions and hospitals<br />
throughout the state.<br />
In 1996, the <strong>College</strong> dedicated the Albertus Magnus Science Complex<br />
to Mr. Chester, Rev. Charles V. Reichart, O.P. ’32, and Robert H.<br />
Walsh ’39 & ’66Hon., citing their “contributions to ensure opportunities<br />
for students and academic excellence in the sciences.”<br />
A funeral was held July 10 at Temple Am David, Warwick.<br />
His battalion was awarded the Cross of War from the provisional French<br />
government and, in 2000, received the Presidential Unit Citation.<br />
Mr. Vaghi, who also served in Okinawa, was featured in the Ken Burns<br />
documentary, The War. Earlier this year, he was presented the Legion of<br />
Honor Chevalier (Knight) award by the French government for his heroic<br />
contributions to the liberation of France during World War II. The<br />
Legion of Honor is France’s highest civilian award and is equivalent to the<br />
U.S. Medal of Honor.<br />
The founder and owner of an architectural firm that he operated for more<br />
than four decades, Mr. Vaghi attended PC on a football scholarship and<br />
earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy.<br />
The husband of the late Agnes E. Crivella Vaghi, he is survived by four<br />
sons, including Joseph P. Vaghi III ’78, two sisters, and six grandchildren.<br />
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on August 30 at the Church of<br />
the Little Flower in Bethesda.
CHAD M. G. DIGREGORIO ’08<br />
Chad M. G. DiGregorio ’08, an archaeology doctoral<br />
student and researcher, died on July 17 after a fall while<br />
hiking in western Turkey, where he was researching possible<br />
thesis subjects.<br />
Mr. DiGregorio was working on the Central Lydia<br />
Archaeological Survey, a Boston University project in<br />
Turkey’s Manisa province.<br />
A native of Upton, Mass., the Liberal Arts Honors Program member graduated magna<br />
cum laude from the <strong>College</strong> with an economics major and a studio art minor. His minor<br />
required him to take a survey course in art history that started in the Paleolithic period.<br />
That experience, in the fall semester of his senior year, inspired him to pursue a career<br />
in archaeology, said Dr. Thomas F. Strasser, associate professor of art history.<br />
Mr. DiGregorio took another art history course at PC before graduating in 2008, and<br />
Strasser invited him to join the Plakias Stone Age Project in Crete. That year, he contributed<br />
to the team of researchers making a major discovery of evidence for the earliest<br />
sea-faring in the Mediterranean.<br />
He worked in finance for one year before following his passion back to the Plakias Project<br />
during summer 2009.<br />
“You could look in his eyes and see how much fun he was having,” Strasser said.<br />
Although he had completed few prerequisites, Mr. DiGregorio was accepted into Boston<br />
University’s doctoral program in archaeology that fall, based on the recommendations of<br />
senior Plakias researchers. He excelled well beyond expectations, Strasser said.<br />
“That first year, Chad didn’t get any [fellowship] money,” Strasser said. “By the third<br />
year, he was getting top fellowships in the department.” The professor described him as<br />
a “superlative” student and a joy to be around. Strasser published one scholarly article<br />
with Mr. DiGregorio, who had passed the exams for his doctoral degree, and they were<br />
working on two others.<br />
A voracious reader, he quickly made up for the archaeological education he lacked.<br />
Strasser recalled during the 2008 dig that Mr. DiGregorio studied a reference book of<br />
Paleolithic stone tools. “He read it cover to cover,” Strasser said.<br />
Mr. DiGregorio “really did fit the PC ideals — extreme intellectual curiosity, but humbleness<br />
at the same time,” he said.<br />
A Mass of Christian Burial was celebrated on July 27 at St. Gabriel the Archangel<br />
Church in Upton.<br />

THE LAST WORD<br />
MY LADY, JESUS!<br />
Gina was born early, a flaxen-haired little girl with pinkish, fair skin<br />
and a tiny button nose. She also was born blind and nearly deaf,<br />
with severe mental disabilities. Now in her mid-20s, she has never<br />
spoken and can communicate only through simple signs: me,<br />
you, hungry, wet. Her parents love her as fiercely as they do their<br />
other four children, all of whom are gifted and have gone on to<br />
success. Still, it is hard for them. How could it not be? As the late<br />
Father Thomas Heath, O.P. wrote in his poem, The Confessional, our<br />
hearts are “pierced by gentle things/caught in cruel circumstances.”<br />
Maria always was petite but at the end she was tiny, a wisp of her<br />
former self. She was born in Portugal and raised in an orphanage,<br />
her widowed mother too poor to provide for all of her children.<br />
The nuns there were good to her, and seeing that she was bright<br />
and eager to learn, trained her to be a teacher. But with the move to<br />
America and the necessity of learning a new language, followed by<br />
marriage and motherhood, it was not to be.<br />
She took delight in her daughter, who was graced with her mother’s<br />
keen intelligence and became her star pupil. She also faithfully<br />
nursed her husband through a long and painful illness. Then it<br />
was her turn. In her early 60s, she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.<br />
Relentlessly and without a hint of mercy, the tangle of plaques in<br />
her brain robbed her of everything that made her who she was until,<br />
in her last year, she was reduced to a silent, blank stare.<br />
Or was she?<br />
Maria had a deep and lifelong devotion to Mary. Pictures of the<br />
Blessed Mother adorned her house and later her room in the nursing<br />
home; appropriately, it was named Our Lady’s Haven. Although<br />
she came to a point where she hardly spoke or ate, there were times<br />
when someone would point to one of the pictures of Mary and ask<br />
Maria who she was. With the faintest of smiles but knowingly, she<br />
would answer, “My Lady.”<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<br />
By REV. JOSEPH J. GUIDO, O.P.<br />
GINA AND MARIA. ONE I BAPTIZED AND ONE I BURIED.<br />
Was she confused, thinking that Mary was her absent mother? Perhaps.<br />
But perhaps her answer represents something deeper — an innocent<br />
and childlike, yet wholly accurate, experience of Our Lady’s maternal<br />
care as immediate and personal. After all, when any of us need her<br />
most, is a mother ever other than my mother, with all that this implies<br />
and makes a claim to?<br />
And what are we to make of Gina? She lives in a residential facility, one<br />
again appropriately named: Angelwood. When a Eucharistic Minister<br />
brings her Holy Communion, she signs “Jesus” and “!”. The exclamation<br />
point is unnecessary but telling. It suggests not only that Gina<br />
understands who she is receiving but also her conviction and delight in<br />
doing so. In the dimmed and hushed world that Gina inhabits, Jesus<br />
comes bright and luminous, loud with peals of delight: hers for him,<br />
his for her.<br />
We who hear and see well, who think clearly and live lives busy with<br />
purpose, often find ourselves surprised by the advent of grace and intimations<br />
of the heavenly. We ask, “How can this be?” “How wondrous,<br />
special and precious,” we exclaim. And indeed it is. For us, moments of<br />
evident grace seem to stand apart from the ordinary rounds of life, serving<br />
as a counterpoint to the quotidian and challenging the assumptions<br />
that guide our work, family life, and even our faith.<br />
But for some among the many who are stripped of<br />
all that we hold dear, GRACE IS NO LESS WON-<br />
DROUS AND PRECIOUS for being ordinary, a<br />
seamless weave with life as it is lived. In this, they<br />
know better than we do, see with greater clarity,<br />
and hear what we too often are deaf to.<br />
Gina and Maria are right: My Lady, Jesus! Grace always, everywhere,<br />
and without limit, for everyone and without exception.<br />
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<br />
SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND, especially during the spring. One of 2012’s<br />
heaviest downpours visited us on June 7, the day of the long-awaited Ruane<br />
Center for the Humanities groundbreaking ceremony. In typical <strong>Providence</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> fashion, we regrouped quickly and moved everything – podium,<br />
chairs, decorations, and all – into Phillips Memorial Library.<br />
While we were initially disappointed to have our plans disrupted, the library – the heart of <strong>College</strong><br />
academic life – was an appropriate alternative because it underscored the essential, evolving<br />
nature of the PC teaching and learning experience. The spirit of the event was undampened by<br />
the rain, and I daresay that everyone involved left that afternoon feeling proud and optimistic.<br />
Incidentally, the sun came back out, shining brightly on our community as we celebrated what<br />
was truly a momentous occasion in the <strong>College</strong>’s history.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I 2011- 2012 ANNUAL DONOR REPORT
In a sense, that anecdote represents what we are all about at <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> as we approach the<br />
end of 2012. Of course, we are proud of this wonderful institution and all we have accomplished<br />
over 95 years. At the same time, with our year-old Strategic Plan as our guide, we are changing<br />
and growing with a resolute focus on getting better, and doing better.<br />
Mike Ruane himself, the 1971 PC graduate for whom the new building is named (along with<br />
his wife, Elizabeth, and their children), addressed exactly that point in his remarks that day<br />
when he challenged all of us to pledge daily self-improvement. As a college, we are committed<br />
to accountability, ongoing measurement of our progress, and that culture of continuous<br />
improvement Mike referenced.<br />
Change can be challenging. But, as we saw on June 7 and so many other days in the past year, it<br />
can be most rewarding. The Strategic Plan outlines our aspirational vision, and it shows the way<br />
to the day when <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> is all we want it to be. Our plan brings the clarity that helps<br />
foster change, and it serves as a rallying point for all of us who embrace our roles in helping PC<br />
achieve its destiny.<br />
Moreover, I know in my heart that the momentum attached to the Strategic Plan will continue<br />
to build as we have more successes large and small, ranging in 2011-2012 from the Ruane Center<br />
groundbreaking, to the national championship won by a team of accounting students, to Viola<br />
Davis’ breathtaking Commencement Address, along with numerous other developments you<br />
have read about in <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> Magazine.<br />
This Donor Report reflects the astonishing generosity of so many of our alumni and friends. I<br />
offer my heartfelt thanks to each person who honors us by his or her decision to share precious<br />
resources with <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>. By God’s grace and with the continuing support of our<br />
friends, the future of this wonderful institution is as bright as the sunshine that dissipated those<br />
clouds on that glorious June afternoon.<br />
God Bless,<br />
Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. ’80<br />

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

“To me, St. Dominic Society membership is a WAY TO GIVE BACK TO A SCHOOL THAT HAS LAID<br />
THE FOUNDATION FOR MY FUTURE. The values, esteem, and sense of self that <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong><br />
has instilled in me are a result of the generosity of others who believed in the VALUE AND IMPORTANCE<br />
OF FINANCIAL LEADERSHIP.”<br />
Note: Class lists include alumni from undergraduate, graduate, and School of Continuing Education programs.<br />
— Amanda Mathieu ’11<br />
While this report details St. Dominic Society giving, <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> enjoys and appreciates financial support from more than 13,500 generous benefactors. A report listing all<br />
gifts is online at www.support.providence.edu/DonorReport12.<br />

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

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

WAYS TO GIVE<br />
PC FUND | ANNUAL GIVING<br />
Gifts to the PC Fund are put to use immediately and directed to the<br />
areas where they are most urgently needed. Tuition fees account only<br />
for a portion of PC’s annual budget. Donations directed to the PC<br />
Fund build a bridge between tuition revenues and the actual cost of<br />
a PC education, ensuring that all students have access to a premier,<br />
Catholic liberal arts education.<br />
ANGEL FUND | EMERGENCY FINANCIAL AID<br />
The Angel Fund provides an ongoing source of emergency financial aid<br />
so that current students of families with unexpected and extraordinary<br />
financial challenges can continue their studies at <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P.’s top priority is to ensure that each<br />
and every student will have the resources necessary to complete his or her<br />
PC education.<br />
<strong>FR</strong>IARS FOREVER ATHLETIC FUND | ATHLETICS<br />
Gifts to the Friars Forever Athletic Fund improve athletics facilities<br />
and provide scholarship and academic support to the department’s 300<br />
student-athletes who compete in 19 varsity sports. Financial contributions<br />
are essential for the continued growth and success of Friar athletics and<br />
benefit all athletic programs.<br />
ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
Scholarship endowments provide much-needed financial support to<br />
well-qualified students who otherwise would not be able to afford a<br />
PC education. Many generous benefactors have established endowed<br />
scholarship funds to ensure that future generations of students will<br />
continue to benefit from the high standards of excellence and personalized<br />
learning that are the hallmarks of a PC education.<br />
Establishing an endowed scholarship fund offers donors the opportunity<br />
to create a personal legacy at <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>, including a named<br />
memorial or family scholarship. Gifts for scholarship endowments<br />
begin at $50,000. Donors are kept informed about the progress of their<br />
funds through written annual reports and communications from their<br />
scholarship recipients.<br />
PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I 2011- 2012 ANNUAL DONOR REPORT<br />
TORCH SCHOLARSHIPS<br />
Torch Scholarships offer donors a unique opportunity to have a positive<br />
impact on the life of a promising PC student with financial need. With<br />
a gift of $20,000, donors can create a four-year expendable scholarship,<br />
which can be renewed at the donor’s request. Donors will receive an annual<br />
notification about the student awarded their scholarship, including the<br />
student’s name, hometown, class year, and program of study.<br />
1917 SOCIETY | LIFETIME GIVING<br />
Since its founding in 1917, <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> has been blessed with loyal<br />
and supportive alumni and friends. In acknowledgement of those who<br />
have given so generously, the 1917 Society recognizes cumulative lifetime<br />
giving to <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Membership is extended to donors who<br />
have contributed a minimum of $250,000 during their lifetime.<br />
HARKINS SOCIETY | PLANNED GIVING<br />
Many donors help to secure the future strength and position of <strong>Providence</strong><br />
<strong>College</strong> by including PC in their wills. The Harkins Society recognizes<br />
benefactors who have named <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> in their estate plans<br />
through bequests or other types of deferred gifts. Planned gifts can be<br />
made in several ways, including specifying a dollar amount or asset, such<br />
as securities; leaving all or a percentage of one’s estate; or leaving a residual<br />
interest. Planned gifts can be designated for restricted purposes — such<br />
as an endowed scholarship — or left completely unrestricted.<br />
If you have named <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> in your will or trust, established a life<br />
income plan, or made the <strong>College</strong> the beneficiary of an insurance policy or<br />
retirement plan, please notify us so we can welcome you into the Harkins Society.<br />
ST. DOMINIC SOCIETY | LEADERSHIP ANNUAL GIVING<br />
The St. Dominic Society recognizes the <strong>College</strong>’s most generous donors<br />
— alumni, parents, corporate partners, faculty, staff, and friends — who<br />
make an annual gift of $1,000 or more to <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>. Members<br />
play a principal role in advancing the educational and spiritual mission<br />
of <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong>.<br />
Young alumni are encouraged to join the St. Dominic Society.<br />
Recognizing that the capacity for young alumni to give may not be as<br />
great as that of more established alumni, Young Alumni St. Dominic<br />
Society membership is designed to recognize those who graduated within<br />
the past 10 years for leadership giving based upon year of graduation.
DONOR BILL OF RIGHTS<br />
Philanthropy is based on voluntary action for the common good. It is a tradition of giving and<br />
sharing that is primary to the quality of life. To assure that philanthropy merits the respect and<br />
trust of the general public, and that donors and prospective donors can have full confidence in<br />
the not-for-profit organizations and causes they are asked to support, we declare that all donors<br />
have these rights:<br />
• To be informed of the organization’s mission, of the way the organization intends to use<br />
donated resources, and of its capacity to use donations effectively for their intended purposes.<br />
• To be informed of the identity of those serving on the organization’s governing board, and to<br />
expect the board to exercise prudent judgment in its stewardship responsibilities.<br />
• To have access to the organization’s most recent financial statements.<br />
• To be assured their gifts will be used for the purposes for which they were given.<br />
• To receive appropriate acknowledgement and recognition.<br />
• To be assured that information about their donations is handled with respect and with<br />
confidentiality to the extent provided by law.<br />
• To expect that all relationships with individuals representing organizations of interest to the<br />
donor will be professional in nature.<br />
• To be informed whether those seeking donations are volunteers, employees of the organization,<br />
or hired solicitors.<br />
• To have the opportunity for their names to be deleted from mailing lists that an organization<br />
may intend to share.<br />
• To feel free to ask questions when making a donation and to receive prompt, truthful, and<br />
forthright answers.<br />
The above rights were developed by the American Association of Fund Raising Counsel (AA<strong>FR</strong>C),<br />
Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP), Council for Advancement and Support of<br />
Education (CASE), and Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), and endorsed by (in<br />
formation) the Independent Sector National Catholic Development Conference (NCDC), National<br />
Committee on Planned Giving (NCPG), and Council for Resource Development (CRD).<br />
DISCLAIMER<br />
The Office of Institutional Advancement at <strong>Providence</strong> <strong>College</strong> makes every effort to ensure<br />
that this Honor Roll of Donors is as accurate as possible in every respect. Should we have<br />
fallen short in this effort, please do not hesitate to let us know right away, so that we can make<br />
necessary adjustments to our records. Should you have questions, please call 401.865.2414 or<br />
