Perspectives
If you are lucky, college will expose you to a variety of people who will challenge any assumptions, stereotypes, or preconceived notions you may have about the world. When looking for a place to call home for the next four years, consider the many benefits that a multicultural campus community provides.Perspectives is an overnight program which introduces you to the multiplicity of people, faiths, viewpoints and ideas that converge at Holy Cross. The two-day program delves into issues of identity and diversity in all of its forms, emphasizing mutual respect and the similarities and connections that unite us all. You will be introduced to our increasingly diverse community of students, faculty, and staff as you sample classes, spend a night in a residence hall, and attend various social events. Perspectives is a great opportunity for you to experience first-hand the open and inclusive culture of Holy Cross.
