Description

We're excited to share that our keynote speaker this year is none other than Coach Kim English of the Providence College Friars, accompanied by Providence College Athletic Director Steve Napolillo. Following the formal meeting segment, they'll engage in an insightful conversation about the previous season, the approaching one, and the present dynamics of college athletics. Coach English and AD Napolillo will also draw parallels between leading a Division One BIG EAST Basketball team and managing a business - exploring aspects from motivation to leadership and meeting customer expectations. An interactive question-and-answer session with the audience will follow. A Meet & Greet with Coach English and AD Napolillo will cap off the event! 

 On March 23, 2023, Kim English became the 16th head coach at Providence College. He came to Providence College after an impressive playing and coaching career. His coaching career included positions at Tulsa, Colorado and Tennessee before serving two seasons as the head coach at George Mason. 

On January, 26, 2022, Providence College President Rev. Kenneth R. Sicard O.P., '78, '82G named Steven Napolillo '98, as the College's next vice president and director of athletics. He also serves as a member of the president's cabinet.
