Providentia Society
Providentia Society
The Providentia Society honors the contributions of Providence College women of the past 50 years. It empowers and encourages alumnae and their supporters to advocate for issues that elevate and amplify women’s voices through collective giving.
Members of the Society inspire others to serve as philanthropists, engage with each other, and strengthen their connection with Providence College.
This year the Providentia Society is hosting the inaugural HER JOURNEY Symposium on Friday, April 26, 2024.
This symposium aims to celebrate and amplify the voices of inspiring women who have navigated through various challenges, shattered barriers, and forged unique paths in their respective fields. Through a series of compelling talks and discussions, attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into the personal journeys of these remarkable women.
