The PCVI is a free humanities program that is open to all Rhode Island, Massachusetts and Connecticut veterans, regardless of age, deployment, disability, education and discharge status. The goal is to provide a meaningful intellectual community to veterans who are trying to process their thoughts and experiences, and grappling with readjustment to civilian life. We meet on Zoom on Monday and Thursday evenings, 6pm to 8pm. Our fall semester began in September, and ended in December, covering the ancient Greeks and the American Civil War. Our spring semester starts up on Monday night January 16th. We'll cover the world wars, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan. We also take a variety of free field trips to area museums, historical societies and theaters. Those who participate are eligible to earn 6 college credits. Books and school supplies are free, and computer/internet assistance is available. In 2020 the PCVI won the "Innovation in the Humanities" award from the RI Council for the Humanities.
