💃 ⚾ 🎰 The final countdown to commencement weekend! ☀️ 🍕 📸
A week filled with games on Slavin Lawn, a night at Foxwoods, a trip to Fenway, and a chance to take in the view from the Harkins balcony before graduation day. Thanks for making every moment count, Friars. 🤍
From the Harkins balcony to “The AMP,” this weekend was one to remember. On May 17, nearly 60 Health Policy & Management graduates crossed the stage and joined the long line of Friars making a difference in the world. Proud is an understatement. Congratulations, Class of 2026.

If they could give their first-year selves one piece of advice, this is what they’d say. 🤍🎓

Big smiles, first thing in the morning! Members of the Class of 2026 lined up bright and early to get photographed on the Harkins balcony. Special thanks to the PC National Alumni Association, which sponsors this annual tradition. 📸🖤
Our students aren't just studying healthcare policy — they're writing about it. Ian Smith '27 and Sydney Draper '27 both published op-eds in @ProvBusNews this semester, tackling RI's life science sector and U.S. drug pricing policy. Our students are shaping the narrative. 🔬💊
🤍 We asked students to tell their moms something that would make their day, and the answers were as sweet as you’d expect. Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms, mother figures, and supporters behind our Friars. 🌷
