Sign up for the Upcoming College Visits on Naviance


Information from The College of the Holy Cross


Greetings from Holy Cross,

 
I want to make you aware of an opportunity for prospective students of diverse backgrounds to visit campus for our annual Perspectives Weekend Overnight Program.  The Program is free of cost to attend and runs from Saturday, November 15 through Monday, November 17. 

 

Students can apply for the program through this link: holycross.edu/perspectives.  The deadline to apply online is Monday October 13.  The Perspectives Program is a great opportunity for prospective students to explore diversity on campus and engage in thoughtful conversations with current students.  It is a busy, but very rewarding weekend.

 

If you or your student has any questions about the Program, please do not hesitate to contact Ashley Johnson (ajohnson@holycross.edu) as she is the Co-Coordinator of the Program.  If a student is accepted to the program, but the cost of transportation would cause undue hardship to the student's family, please contact Ashley as soon as possible and she will work to possibly help resolve the issue.

 

Best,

Xiaofeng Wan
