On Feb. 24 the presidential search committee unanimously
recommended to the Board of Trustees that the search continue
for a new Jesuit president of Holy Cross. The chair
of the
search committee, P. Kevin Condron '67, explained that the committee had not
yet found a candidate with just the right mix of talents needed to lead Holy
Cross to the next level of achievement.
Frank Vellaccio, who has served as acting president since the resignation of
Rev. Gerard Reedy, S.J., in July 1998, will continue in the position until a
new president is named.
"We will continue our efforts to identify the best Jesuit
to lead Holy Cross into the next century," said H.E. "Jack" Lentz '67,
chairman of the Board of Trustees and a member of the search
committee.
The committee is soliciting advice and nominations from alumni, the provincials
of the 10 Jesuit provinces in the United States, the presidents and rectors of
the 27 other Jesuit colleges and universities, and the president of the Association
of Jesuit
Colleges and Universities.
Condron encourages alumni to share with him the names
of Jesuits who possess the skills to be president.
The members of the search committee
are: Condron; Professor John B. Anderson '57, Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., '49,
Constance A. Eagan '81, John P. Hamill '61, Lentz, Charles E. F. Millard '54,
and Professor Joanne Pierce.
