Providence, R.I.--The Athletic Department celebrated its final engagement of the "formal" summer calendar on Wednesday, Aug. 24 at Aqua in the Providence Marriott.

Upwards of thirty alumni and friends attended the event. 

"What a terrific night to see so many friends and alumni of the athletic department gathered at this beautiful venue in the city," RIC Director of Athletics Donald E. Tencher said. "I am thankful to our partner, the Providence Marriott Downtown, for hosting this special night year at their property. On a beautiful summer night, there isn't a better venue in the city than Aqua." 

Though this was the last scheduled event on the formal summer calendar, the department will be hosting their annual "Endless Summer Party" at Valley Country Club on Friday, Sept. 16. The event includes a surf and turf dinner, entertainment and, of course, fun!
