I chose Providence because I wanted a university education that prepared me to think analytically and critically, while developing and refining my leadership skills. My Providence education was foundational and gave me the tools to pursue a career in media and communications.

Providence taught me to focus on developing and understanding my gifts instead of focusing on what I can’t do, to strengthen my strengths and overcome my weaknesses. My education prepared me to coordinate programs that meet the developmental and educational needs of the adolescents.

From evening chats with dorm mates, to chapel time, late-night paper writing and meals in the cafeteria, it was all part of living life together as a community. That is why some of my best friends to this day are people that I met at Providence.

Providence helped me unlock scripture. I didn’t have much knowledge of the Bible before I went to Providence. The study of theology made the Bible come alive for me and provided me an opportunity for spiritual learning and gaining of knowledge.

I initially chose Providence because one of my parents attended Providence. The reason I stayed at Providence was that I appreciated its high level of academics. Attending Providence helped me become more open-minded. I teach at a public high school, and I encourage my students to continually ask questions.

I am thankful for my time spent at Providence. I have learned so many different skills and techniques that have helped me pursue a career in coaching hockey. Many of the classes Ihave taken over the years have made me a more efficient communicator, a better leader and more organized.

I wanted a school with a great arts program but also a school that would challenge my beliefs and make me think outsidethe box. A place that would help me transition from my parent’s beliefs to my own. Providence was a perfect fit.

I chose Providence because it offered a Christian perspective.The courses I took were extremely useful. Without my knowledge of society, social patterns, gender socialization, social controls, the distribution of wealth, racial histories I would not have had a framework for the issues I deal with on a day to day basis. It was also through Social Sciences that I realized my passion for social justice.
