Academic Conference Returns To Campus

The annual tradition showcases the scholarship, research and creativity of more than 400 Holy Cross students

Following a virtual event in 2020 and a hybrid version in 2021, Academic Conference, the annual multi-day celebration of student academic excellence at Holy Cross, fully returned to campus this week.

Classes paused for the day, as more than 400 students spanning all class years presented the results of their independent, creative and intellectual endeavors in venues across Mount St. James.

Students presented their work in the form of panels, performances, poster sessions and presentations that showcased scholarship across more than 30 academic disciplines, highlighting the role professors play as mentors and model teacher-scholars for Holy Cross students.
