t takes courage to choose hope in this world. To remain uplifted, eyes forward, driven toward the ideal of a brighter tomorrow — and our place in it.
At Holy Cross, we overcome. We challenge the status quo. We approach the world with intention and a dedication to serve. We’re voracious learners. Steadfast activists. Passionate seekers of a better way.
And if there isn’t one? We’ll create it. By leaning into creativity, embracing flexibility and believing wholeheartedly.
With hope, the whole way through.
