Impact

Participate in a community of thousands of students, alumni and friends who together answer a shared call: to live for and with others.
When we ask big questions about our beliefs and convictions, our hopes and fears, our goals and aspirations — about who we are and who we want to become — we unlock our ability to make a difference in the world.
Live with Courage and Purpose
At Holy Cross, you’ll discover a path that is uniquely yours. In everything you do, you’ll seek ways to serve others, and in doing so, you’ll become a model, a mentor and a leader. And you’ll join an inspired global alumni network — artists and authors, entrepreneurs and chief executives, politicians, public servants and more — in approaching all you do with an eye on making a difference.
Our Jesuit education leads us to reflect on life’s most profound questions:
Who have I been? Who am I now? Who do I want to become in the world? How do I want to live for others?
