Dear UHC Family & Friends,
As we experience the blessings of Advent in anticipation of the joy of Christmas, December has been full of life at the University of Holy Cross. Our students and faculty have had final exams and our staff continues to work diligently as we approach the holidays.
From final exams to the dedication of the new Wall of Fame for our Pre-Medical Honor Society to the Ditta Scholarship Dinner raising funds for deserving students, the UHC spirit is full with the education of both the mind and the heart.
We welcome your donation to support our students and the mission of the University of Holy Cross as we approach the end of the calendar year. Your year-end, tax-deductible gift can be made here: bit.ly/givetoUHC

On December 4, the University of Holy Cross Pre-Medical Honor Society unveiled its new Wall of Fame.
They inducted ten UHC alumni who were honored for their acceptance into medical school, physician assistant programs, and other post-baccalaureate pathways.
Inductees expressed their gratitude to their faculty for believing in them, pushing them to succeed, and preparing them so well.
They also talked about how UHC’s small, close-knit campus community led them closer to their goals. It was a wonderful night of reminiscing about their time at “The Cross,” giving current students advice, and celebrating success.
Congratulations to our Pre-Medical Honor Society and to all of the Wall of Fame inductees!
On Tuesday, December 10, we held our annual Ditta Scholarship Dinner at the Southern Yacht Club where over 220 supporters were in attendance to raise money for the Ditta Scholarship Fund.
The event was a tremendous success with a new record of funds raised for the Ditta Scholarship!
Many thanks to UHC alumnus Joey Ditta for his leadership in raising the funds for the scholarship in his parents' names!
