During the weekend of Oct. 21-23, more than 600 Holy Cross families, made up of alumni, students and friends, enjoyed the various Family Weekend activities and events on campus while also taking in the beautiful New England scenery, despite a bit of rain.
Highlights of the weekend included:
- President’s Hour: Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, S.J., president of the College, and his leadership team discussed the College and current initiatives
- Athletics: Football vs. Lehigh, men’s ice hockey vs. Boston College, and women’s field hockey vs. Brown all took place
- Crusaders Against Cancer 5k: The second annual race kicked off the weekend
- Performances: Dance Ensemble, Chamber Orchestra, a cappella groups, the College Choir, and Jazz Ensemble performed across campus
- Art Exhibitions: Walk through tour of the Cantor Art Gallery exhibit, “Woven Power: Ritual Textiles of Sarawak and West Kalimantan”; a guided tour of “Stickwork” by renowned artist Patrick Dougherty on Linden Lane; and Stick Space, a hands-on art project for all were provided
- Worship: Family Weekend Mass with Bishop McManus, and Protestant interdenominational services were held, followed by receptions for families to meet
Thanks to the hard work of the Office of Student Involvement, students, and faculty, and the enthusiasm of the families and friends who attended, the weekend was once again a success!
