Calling all PC grads from the ’20s, ’30s and ’40s

Did you attend Providence College before 1950? Are you Jewish? If so, we want to hear your story!

Dr. Arthur Urbano of the Theology Department and Dr. Jennifer Illuzzi of the History Department are conducting research on the history and experiences of Jewish students at PC in the College’s early decades (1917-1950).

The purpose is to increase awareness of this fascinating aspect of PC’s early history as the centennial year approaches. Whether you graduated or not, we are interested in learning about your time at PC.

We are looking for alumni and former students who are Jewish and are willing to be interviewed for the project. We’d also appreciate any information from families of deceased Jewish alumni and former students who attended PC in this period.

If you are interested in participating, please contact Dr. Arthur Urbano – by email: aurbano@providence.edu; by phone: 401-865-1351; or by mail: Theology Department, Providence College, 1 Cunningham Sq., Providence, R.I. 02918.
