President’s Message University Catalog 2021-2022

Dear University of Holy Cross Community:

Welcome to a university community that cares for individual students. As the President of University of Holy Cross (UHC) and also an alumnus, I thank you for your decision to pursue your educational dreams and ambitions with us. We share a vision of hope and lifelong learning. Even during these extraordinary times with the COVID-19 pandemic, we remain fully committed to living our University Mission and Core Values in ways that keep you safe and, at the same time, provide the quality education for which the University of Holy Cross is so well known.

This Catalog contains essential information for both current and future students, such as the history of the University and the Marianite tradition, as well as the academic programs, policies, and services offered at UHC. In these pages, you will learn more about our quality programs; our highly accessible, outstanding faculty and staff; and our deeply-rooted University Mission, which is fully integrated with both intellectual and practical resources.

The rich Marianite tradition has guided Holy Cross since its inception in 1916. This tradition, linked with our Mission to educate the heart and the mind, is as relevant today as it was one hundred years ago. The University is committed to educating the minds and hearts of students through freedom of inquiry, the pursuit of truth, and compassionate care for all. University of Holy Cross continues to be a place where students are prepared for both the present and the future.

Our faculty, staff, and administration are committed to your success and are here to help you reach your full potential. Please do not hesitate to call upon us if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Stanton F. McNeely, III, Ed.D. President
