Sunday, September 24, 2023

The Perspectives Day Program is for prospective high school seniors who reside in Connecticut, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island, who may be from families with limited financial resources, attending rural and urban Title I schools, and those who are unable to visit campus on their own. Students who will be the first in their family (excluding siblings) to attend college are also welcome to attend. If you have an interest in visiting Holy Cross, we encourage you to register regardless of your demographic or economic background.

Through the Perspectives program, we aim to provide space for students to explore topics regarding Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. Once on campus, students will connect with current Holy Cross students to ask honest questions and gain valuable insight into the admission process and campus community here at the College of the Holy Cross.

The Perspectives Day Program will be held in conjunction with our Open House Programming. Perspectives students will attend Open House in the morning and attend Perspectives programming in the afternoon.
