The Donelan Office of Community-Based Learning, established
with a $1.2 million endowment from Trustee and alumnus Joseph
P. Donelan II, opened in September 2001.
Community-based learning provides opportunities for faculty
and students to combine experiential learning in the Worcester
community. Courses with community-based learning components
at the College of the Holy Cross are courses that include an
experiential learning component, involving service in a church,
community or public service organization, or an education or
health institution. Placement usually involves a weekly 2-2.5
hour session at the community site, for a total of 15-20 hours
per semester.
Students
from the Worcester Public Schools visit Holy Cross.
Prof. Carolyn Howe, Sociology and Latin American and
Latino Studies, and Holy Cross students in her courses
"Latinos in the U.S." and "Experience
in Latino Education" organized and staffed an after-school
program for bilingual students in collaboration with
the Worcester Working Coalition for Latino Students
and Worcester State College
