"Odyssey 2004: A Preview of
your Holy Cross Journey," a two-week orientation program for ALANA (African American,
Latino, Asian American, and Native American) and international students, took
place on campus from Aug. 13-25. This interdisciplinary program was designed
to introduce first-year students to Holy Cross' academic environment with mini-classes
and short writing assignments. Highlights of Odyssey 2004 included participation
in Worcester's Latino Festival, whale watching off Boston Harbor, participation
in a volunteer project in Worcester and dinners with professors and administrators
at their homes. According to Esther Levine, assistant dean and international
scholar and
student advisor, "At Holy Cross, our dream is that students will make early personal
connections with faculty and administrators-connections that will help ensure
the fullest possible educational experience. Odyssey 2004 enables this dream
to come true."
