2018 Graduates

Gregory Angelone

"I am proud to be a Providence College graduate and a Friar as it has opened many

doors for me and I look forward to the continued success and growth of this

amazing institution."

Justin Bazinet

“Perseverance, dedication and commitment make any goals achievable. My

educational journey at Providence College has been remarkable! A special thank you

to the PC faculty and staff for the guidance, expertise and support!”

Luis Colon

“My reflection is being welcomed with open arms and a warm smile by Jennifer Andrews.

She reassured me that I could accomplish my goal and stuck with me throughout my time at

PC. What's most inspiring is how hard SCE works to try and integrate its students into their

prospective programs, follows them through and the professors who bring a certain life

experience and energy to the school.”

Mary Cruz

“Starting is the most difficult step; the challenge is not to stop even if we feel that

our barriers are greater than our goal. At the end what matters is to celebrate each

step that was taken to achieve it.”

Christine D’Ambra

“Life is 10% what happens to me and 90% of how I react to it.”

–Charles Swindoll

Victoria DuBois

"The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet."

--Aristotle

John Ibarra

“I began a journey of education nearly 26 years ago, about the same time I entered the US Army…ironically,

my education journey and US Army career have finally come to a close here at Providence College. I have had

the tremendous pleasure of being part of the PC Community, both as the Senior Military Science Instructor

in the Department of Military Science, and as a Student in the Leadership Development Program of the

School of Continuing Education. I will forever be grateful for the lessons I have learned from my entire PC

Family! Go Friars!”

Elisa Kirchheim

“It's never too late to learn something new.”

Veronica Lopez

“My inspiration are my children Alexis and Cameron. Thank you for being patient and walking

through this journey with me as I finish my degree. I love you both with all my heart.

Love, Mom.”

“Thank you to the staff at Providence College for your guidance and support of the

SCE program that has given me a second chance in fulfilling my dreams. I am truly blessed.”

Nilsa Jimenez

“Reinventing your path takes time, and betting on your destiny is not a game of

chance… Find the intention, and add to your effort. This moment is perfect to begin

and to dream.” -Osorio Fonseca

Marissa Mansolillo

“I could not recall all of my reflections and memories at PC in

just a couple of sentences, but I will try by stating that it has

been such a wonderful and God-sent period in my life.

Professors Eriksen and Kless, thank you both for your

unwavering compassion and support; I will never forget your

kindness and will always hold you dear to my heart. Thank you

Jennifer, Anne and Dean Castleman, you are such amazing

women that I am proud to call both mentor and friend! Thank

you all for such an amazing and inspiring 5 years!”

Jessica Torrento

“I will be forever grateful to the staff and teachers who made my time at

Providence College so enjoyable. Not only will I finally be obtaining a

degree, which I honestly thought would never happen, I am also gaining

lasting relationships. Thank you so very much!”
