The PC campus has been a lot more lively this week as we get ready to start our fall semester next Tuesday!! Our student-athletes are back on campus and their practices are in full swing... Some of that training is taking place in our brand-new Concannon Fitness Center (more on that in the coming weeks!!!). Joining the athletes on campus this week are our new international students who are currently participating in our international student orientation program, and our incoming freshmen who are participating in the Urban Action program. Urban Action allows about 100 freshmen to move into their residence halls early and spend almost a week doing various service projects across the city of Providence-- and getting to know their new classmates! Our very own Admission Ambassador Executive Board members have also made their way back to campus, and we will be having an all-day retreat with them tomorrow to plan for the prospective families who will be visiting PC during the upcoming semester.

It is certainly exciting to have the students coming back to campus, and we are all looking forward to a successful fall semester. Speaking of students, it's looking like I will have three incoming freshmen joining me here at blog central, to give you an inside-look at the freshman-year experience at PC. Their identities will be revealed shortly, and you'll be hearing from them in the near future!

If you haven't already headed back to school, enjoy those last few moments of your summer!
