National Alumni Council (NAC)

The Providence College National Alumni Association fosters a spirit of camaraderie among its members and advances the mission of the college. It supports the ongoing efforts of various college programs that create a strong sense of connection to PC. The council is the leadership group that administers the association’s business and programs. The Association has a wonderful history of service that is rich with tradition and volunteerism.

The Association holds a variety of events each year, including Friar game watches, alumni and student career nights, community service activities, spiritual celebrations, and educational programs. Hundreds of alumni volunteers donate their time and talents to make these gatherings successful.

Open council positions are selected by a board committee through a nomination process each spring.  The Executive Vice President position is elected by the alumni community and serves a three-year term including President and Immediate Past President.  Information about the process will be available in March 2025.
