Update re: Sept. 19 H1-B Proclamation

Holy Cross is monitoring the evolving situation regarding H-1B visa applications. The recent elevation of the fee to $100,000 for H-1B applications from new applicants living outside the country would impose a significant and unsustainable financial burden on the College and chill our efforts to recruit outstanding faculty who are drawn to our Jesuit, Catholic liberal arts mission. Only after Holy Cross makes an offer of appointment will we inquire with respect to immigration status and assess the most appropriate visa for the appointee.  There may be different potential visa options which depend upon a faculty member’s circumstances and qualifications. 

Going forward, the College will provide information about visa sponsorship on faculty positions when they are advertised. We will provide regular updates on the College’s approach to visa sponsorship for H-1B applications on this page.

In the meantime, we remind candidates not to disclose their citizenship status to search committees, and we have reminded search committees that, in accordance with applicable law, they may not seek or use information about citizenship status in their deliberations.

Opportunities for Jesuits

The College welcomes conversations with Jesuits who are interested in discussing the possibility of joining an academic department at Holy Cross. We encourage Jesuits to contact Keith Maczkiewicz, S.J., Ed.D., Associate Vice President for Mission and Ministry (kmaczkiewicz@holycross.edu), and Aaron Seider, Dean of Faculty (aseider@holycross.edu), to discuss their interests, Holy Cross, and potential pre- or post-doctoral positions at the College.
