Again, Holy Cross is revered for their academic excellence but the moment you step on campus it is clear the focus is on the Jesuit mission: “men and women for others”. Emphasis is put into academics because knowledge is the key to bettering the world not because it is what will give us personal success. A vast majority of students participate in community service to give back to the community that has given us so much. Creating a graduate who is prepared academically, civically and socially who will help the world around them is the ultimate goal at Holy Cross.
