The Impact of the President's Council
The generosity of President’s Council donors is vital to ensuring the high quality of today's educational experience for students and advancing the mission of Holy Cross for years to come.
- more than 2,000 alumni, parents and friends are PC-level donors
- Over 50 years of President's Council giving
- More than 70% of annual giving is generated by President's Council
- Almost 80% of all gifts to the College are generated by President's Council
Taken individually, each member makes an instrumental impact; considered together, this group has been monumental in helping to ensure that the College’s transformational Jesuit education is available to all students and our mission remains strong.

Kathy Maggi '91 & Payton Shubrick '15
Meet the Co-Chairs
Payton Shubrick '15
Born and raised in Springfield, MA, Payton is a proud graduate of Springfield Central High School, College of the Holy Cross and Bay Path University. The oldest of four children, Payton is a natural leader and innovative thinker who enjoys new challenges facing emerging industries. After reading Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow, Payton became inspired to participate in the cannabis industry to engage the community of Springfield, MA, which has been disproportionally impacted by cannabis prohibition. She started 6 Brick’s with the help of her parents and sister showing that a family-owned business has a place in this industry. Focused on “people, plant and purpose,” Payton strives to debunk myths around cannabis use within the community while being a good neighbor. 6 Brick’s is a four-time award-winning dispensary that has become a staple in the community. Staying true to her commitment to engaging more women, people of color and aspiring entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry, she is an Adjunct Professor at American International College & Clark University, teaching undergraduate and graduate cannabis courses.
