Last September the Friars welcomed Big East commissioner Val Ackerman as the guest speaker for the Annual Season Ticket Holder Appreciation Event on the Providence College campus. Senior Associate Athletic Director Steve Napolillo made the announcement via Twitter for this year’s special guest speaker:

Stu Jackson was hired by the Big East this July as the Senior Associate Commissioner of Men’s Basketball and has a bit of a Providence connection as he served as an assistant coach on Rick Pitino’s staff from 1985-1987.

The season ticket holder appreciation event is Thursday September 11th at 6pm on the Slavin Lawn.
