Celebrating 50 years of women at PC
Then Now Next: 50 Years of Women
In the fall of 1971, the first coeducational class of students arrived at Providence College. 50 years later, we look back at the history of women at Providence College, a history that started long before that first day of class on September 13, 1971.
