Recognition and Events

In 1967, the President's Council was founded after a special alumni committee proposed that such a council be established to assist the president of Holy Cross by providing a source of reliable, ongoing financial support for the work of the College. President's Council celebrates high levels of annual support.

Thirty years later, in 1997, Cornerstone was created. Unlike President's Council, which celebrates ongoing annual commitment, Cornerstone celebrates the attainment of a total level of giving, in this case, $1 million or more. Cornerstone was the first society created at the College to recognize achievement in giving. The Fitton and Fenwick Societies extend the Cornerstone concept by celebrating other levels of achievement.
