UP College Discovery Camp
|
|
Do you have a child interested in attending college? The University of Providence will offer a five-day program this summer to explain what college is all about and how to navigate its challenges.
College Discovery Camp is intended for rising high school junior and seniors who plan to begin college in Fall 2020 or Fall 2021. Providence St. Joseph Health caregiver dependents are especially encouraged to attend. The University of Providence is a ministry of PSJH.
College Discovery Camp will teach participants about college life, explore degree possibilities and explain how to apply to and pay for college. Camp will be fun, too. Campers will have a chance to explore the beautiful area around Great Falls, Mont., and enjoy outdoor and cultural activities.
Camp sessions are June 16-20 or July 7-11. Registration is open now, and there are discounts for early birds:
- Register Feb 1- April 30 - $400
- Register May 1- June 30 - $500

UP Moves to Drive Enrollment and Strengthen Financial Health
|
|
After hours of conversation and extensive consideration of all the factors involved in a decision of this magnitude, the University of Providence Board of Trustees voted today to approve the recommendation to close several of the university’s programs. As a result of the decision, the following programs will close: Accounting (including the graduate program), Art, Elementary Education, Secondary Education, Special Education, Health and Physical Education, English, History, Sociology, Theater and Business Arts, and Theology. All students in the affected programs will be given the opportunity to graduate from their program and their scholarships will be maintained. Students and faculty are already engaged in teach-out plans, which are individualized transition plans utilizing existing faculty, adjuncts, resources at other universities, and independent studies.

The electric atmosphere during the Montana State Wrestling Tournament is hard to describe. I have sat in every corner of the Rimrock Auto Arena and assumed many different roles; each one having its own special place in my heart. This year I had a new experience, thanks to the University of Providence, formerly the University of Great Falls.

The University of Providence changed our lives.
It’s where we met.
It’s where we learned.
It’s where we fell in love.
It’s where we met friends who are still that today.
We came from different geographies but similar backgrounds---Ed, a San Franciscan from St. Ignatius High School who wanted to experience a different lifestyle, and Dianne, a Butte Central grad whose sister preceded her at (then) CGF. San Francisco and Butte are contrasting backgrounds, but yet, both of us came from large (real large) Catholic families raised by fathers who were second generation and mothers who were third generation Americas.

Dean of Students, Jake Clark
|
|
The Dean of Students role is a unique one for the campus. I oversee the student code of conduct, student engagement, and residential life. To put it another way, I am tasked with keeping students involved and active in campus life while trying to help them stay out of my office. I hear from students, parents, professors, coaches, and academic support staff on a daily basis. I spend a lot of my time working with folks on campus to create a better student experience on the whole as well as for specific students. Even though the Dean of Students is usually the villain in every 1980’s movie, that part of my job is actually pretty small. The project I am most excited about right now is developing a new model for residential life we call our “community learning model.” This model should really improve the residential learning environment so that our students get the most out of their four years living with us.

A Message from President Tony Aretz
|
|
Much of this month I will be touring around the state of Montana with the university advancement staff. We will be highlighting the exciting future of the university, as well as faculty, staff and student achievements. I firmly believe that to be a successful university, we must have the support of an engaged alumni base to serve as ambassadors, philanthropists, recruits and volunteers. Our hope is that these events will provide an opportunity for our alumni and local communities to learn more about UP. These events are complementary, so if you find yourself in the area or know of alumni and friends in the area, please join us and share the details. We would love to see everyone there!
