Inspired by our mission to guide students in their pursuit of truth and happiness, the Division of Student Affairs supports our students in engaging with The PC Path, a holistic, scaffolded student learning & development program.


From “First Day in Friartown” to “Life After Friartown”, and in all the moments in between. We will accompany, encourage and inspire students as they seek their path forward and navigate the crossroads of their college journey. We challenge students to take early advantage of the dynamic resources we offer. To engage us and each other as they uncover the full realization of their potential. And to guide us in shaping the campus experience in their vision.

Through the three dimensions of The PC Path, we provide all students the opportunity to grow, learn, and become the most authentic versions of themselves. Students will reflect on who they are meant to be; contemplate what their path to human flourishing looks like; and create a foundation for a life of meaning and purpose.

Mind, Body & Soul

College is a time of great excitement and growth. It can also be a time of pressure and challenge. Learning to recognize physical, emotional, and spiritual needs and how to meet them are key to living an intentional & balanced life.

Community & Connection

Feeling cared for and included is one of the most important components of a meaningful college experience. Cultivating a support network, exploring different opportunities, meeting new people, and creating a beloved community where all are welcome is what builds our Friar Family.

Leadership & Experiential Engagement

Your time IN college matters for your time AFTER college. Building skills for future careers & vocations, discerning goals, and developing leadership skills all contribute to a future of meaningful work and great lives.
