i didn’t think i would get the opportunity to keep taking photos in university, but i’m grateful that i was able to as pr officer for ccb. this was one of the photos i took for our ice skating event, which was our second collaboration with the second-year board. still not sure who decided it was a good idea to host a four-hour outdoor event during the winter, but the day was beautiful and i had so much fun! my ankles hurt but the insomnia cookies made it all better. miss my ccbabes very much right now 🥺

Our first and second graders are back on the ice! We encourage learning experiences beyond the classroom, and #iceskating is a fun activity that engages the mind and body and can help improve balance and coordination! Plus, it`s always great to see everyone come together and have a good time. #schoolspirit #iceskating #fun #PVD #providencerink #parentvolunteers
By 1983, when this photo was taken, the railroads that had dominated the city for over 100 years were clearly past their prime. These overgrown and elevated train tracks would soon be removed and those that remained pushed underground. The tunnel that these elevated tracks led to would be closed and the bridge across the Seekonk River on the other side of the tunnel would be raised for the last time.

Annie Smith Peck grew up in Providence and became one of the most determined explorers of her time. After graduating from Rhode Island Normal School, she was denied admission to Brown University because she was a woman. She refused to stop there and earned her degree from the University of Michigan, becoming a respected scholar and lecturer.
She taught in Providence and at Purdue, and her greatest achievements came after she began mountaineering at forty four. In 1895 she climbed the Matterhorn wearing trousers, challenging the expectations placed on women. At fifty eight she summited Peru’s Mount Huascarán, a peak later named Cumbre Aña Peck in her honor. At sixty one she carried a Votes for Women banner to the top of Mount Coropuna. She continued climbing and educating well into her eighties.
Annie is part of our You Belong Here Wayfinding Series because she showed how far determination, skill, and courage can go. Women like her expanded what the world believed was possible. ⛰️✨💛
