Providence College’s Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity showcases student achievement from a wide range of academic disciplines. Supported by their faculty mentors, the Showcase highlights active, engaged learning on our campus.
The Annual Celebration of Student Scholarship and Creativity is supported through the College’s three year Fostering a Culture of Student Engagement grant from the Davis Educational Foundation. Aligned with our mission and goals, the purpose of this project is to strengthen students’ engagement in their learning and to establish durable structures for extending and supporting high-quality student engagement well into the future. Providence College thanks the Davis Educational Foundation for partnering in this meaningful initiative.
