Dear UHC Family & Friends,
The past month served as a joyful and powerful reminder of WHY we live the mission of educating hearts and minds at the University of Holy Cross.
Celebrating the achievements of our UHC graduates with them and their loved ones was an exhilarating experience of how the University of Holy Cross makes a transformative impact in the lives of students who come to UHC with their hopes and dreams. Their success is a testament to the the faculty and staff who minister daily to our students as they take the leap of faith to grow through their UHC education.
Seeing the graduates walk across the stage at Commencement is the full manifestation of our University's unique and beautiful purpose in the world.
In addition to images from departmental celebrations, Commencement Mass, and Commencement Exercises, you will also find in this month's newsletter announcements about exciting partnerships and innovations happening at UHC this Summer.
Enjoy this month's newsletter, and may God continue to bless the University of Holy Cross!
Spes Unica,
Stanton F. McNeely III, Ed.D
President
