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 />

Business Advisory Council, a group<br />

of alumni and business leaders, forms<br />

to advise faculty, raise funds,<br />

mentor students.<br />

PROVIDENCE COLLEGE I FALL 2012<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 />

“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 />

Weber’s foray into Catholic media is “a rare gift … reminiscent of experiencing the gift of<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 />

“It’s a dichotomy of feelings for me. The past year and a half has<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 />

at Columbia Business School. Riccobono said 35 percent of his customers<br />

are repeat buyers of the shirts, which retail (www.untuckit.<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 />

By LAURA DUNN<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 />

the University of Massachusetts. He coached for three years at his alma mater,<br />

followed by a year at Butler before joining the Duke staff.<br />

schools by a wide margin. Jessica Cohen ’13 (Anchorage,<br />

Alaska) and Jessica Vella ’13 (Pickering, Ontario)<br />

were named to the Academic All-Star Team for their<br />

outstanding classroom performances. Cohen’s 2012<br />

GPA was 3.97, while Vella’s was 3.87. No other Hock-<br />

while playing for the Puerto Rican national team.<br />

Cintron, who was named to the 2012 Preseason All-<br />

BIG EAST Conference Team, scored Puerto Rico’s<br />

only goal in a 2-1 loss to defending World Cup Champion<br />

Spain on August 15. The contest was an international<br />

friendly match played in Bayamón, Puerto Rico.<br />

The Friar women’s and men’s swimming and div-<br />

ing teams were recognized for outstanding academic<br />

achievement in the Spring 2012 semester. The<br />

women’s team’s 3.40 GPA and the men’s team’s 3.14<br />

earned them <strong>College</strong> Swimming Coaches Association<br />

of America (CSCAA) listing as Scholar All-America<br />

teams. To qualify for the list, a team must post a 3.0<br />

semester GPA.<br />

Track standout Julian Matthews ’12 (Nelson, New<br />

Golf tourneys net $325,000 for athletics<br />

Four major golf tournaments sponsored by the Department of<br />

Athletics raised approximately $325,000 to support studentathletes<br />

at the <strong>College</strong>.<br />

More than 140 golfers and friends attended the annual Cox<br />

Sports Friar Golf Classic at the Warwick (R.I.) Country Club<br />

in September. The event, which included a dinner and auction,<br />

generated more than $110,000 for the Friars Forever Athletic<br />

Fund. The fund supports all 19 Division I athletics programs<br />

at PC.<br />

Three Vision Cup golf tournaments raised more than $200,000<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 />

Board of Governors, joining the new president, Colleen<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 />

email development@providence.edu.<br />
