Explanation
Form 990 Part III Line 1 THE COLLEGE OF THE HOLY CROSS IS, BY TRADITION AND CHOICE, A JESUIT LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE SERVING THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY, AMERICAN SOCIETY AND THE WIDER WORLD.
AS A LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE, HOLY CROSS PURSUES EXCELLENCE IN TEACHING, LEARNING, AND RESEARCH. ALL WHO SHARE ITS LIFE ARE CHALLENGED TO BE OPEN TO NEW IDEAS, TO BE PATIENT WITH AMBIGUITY AND UNCERTAINTY, TO COMBINE A PASSION FOR TRUTH WITH RESPECT FOR THE VIEWS OF OTHERS. INFORMED BY THE PRESENCE OF DIVERSE INTERPRETATIONS OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE. HOLY CROSS SEEKS TO BUILD A COMMUNITY MARKED BY FREEDOM, MUTUAL RESPECT, AND CIVILITY. BECAUSE THE SEARCH FOR MEANING AND VALUE IS AT THE HEART OF THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE, CRITICAL EXAMINATION OF FUNDAMENTAL RELIGIOUS AND PHILOSOPHICAL QUESTIONS IS INTEGRAL TO LIBERAL ARTS EDUCATION. DIALOGUE ABOUT THESE QUESTIONS AMONG PEOPLE FROM DIVERSE ACADEMIC DISCIPLINES AND RELIGIOUS TRADITIONS REQUIRES EVERYONE TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND RESPECT DIFFERENCES.
THE FACULTY AND STAFF OF HOLY CROSS, NOW PRIMARILY LAY AND RELIGIOUSLY AND CULTURALLY DIVERSE, ALSO AFFIRM THE MISSION OF HOLY CROSS AS A JESUIT COLLEGE. AS SUCH, HOLY CROSS SEEKS TO EXEMPLIFY THE LONGSTANDING DEDICATION OF THE SOCIETY OF JESUS TO THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE AND ITS COMMITMENT TO THE SERVICE OF FAITH AND PROMOTION OF JUSTICE. THE COLLEGE IS DEDICATED TO FORMING A COMMUNITY WHICH SUPPORTS THE INTELLECTUAL GROWTH OF ALL ITS MEMBERS WHILE OFFERING THEM OPPORTUNITIES FOR SPIRITUAL AND MORAL DEVELOPMENT.
SINCE 1843, HOLY CROSS HAS SOUGHT TO EDUCATE STUDENTS WHO, AS LEADERS IN BUSINESS, PROFESSIONAL AND CIVIC LIFE, WOULD LIVE BY THE HIGHEST INTELLECTUAL AND ETHICAL STANDARDS. IN SERVICE OF THIS IDEAL, HOLY CROSS ENDEAVOURS TO CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH INTEGRATED LEARNING IS A SHARED RESPONSIBILITY, PURSUED IN CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY, STUDIO AND THEATER, RESIDENCE AND CHAPEL, SHARED RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LIFE AND GOVERNANCE OF THE COLLEGE SHOULD LEAD ALL ITS MEMBERS TO MAKE THE BEST OF THEIR OWN TALENTS, TO WORK TOGETHER, TO BE SENSITIVE TO ONE ANOTHER, TO SERVE OTHERS, AND TO SEEK JUSTICE WITHIN AND BEYOND THE HOLY CROSS COMMUNITY.
Form 990 Part III Line 4A THE COLLEGE OFFERS A CURRICULUM LEADING TO A BACHELOR OF ARTS A.B. DEGREE WITH ACADEMIC CONCENTRATIONS IN TWENTY-SIX FIELDS.
THE CAMPUS LIBRARIES AT HOLY CROSS - DINAND, FENWICK MUSIC, OCALLAHAN SCIENCE, ARCHIVAL AND SPECIAL COLLECTIONS, AND RHEM - ARE ALSO AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC FOR SCHOLARLY RESEARCH. THE LIBRARIES HAVE AN EXTENSIVE COLLECTION OF BOOKS, JOURNALS, TAPES, VIDEOS, CDS, LPS, PHOTOGRAPHS, AND ELECTRONIC RESOURCES.
THROUGH BOTH CONTEMPORARY AND HISTORICAL EXHIBITIONS, THE IRIS AND B. GERALD CANTOR ART GALLERY AT HOLY CROSS EDUCATES THE COLLEGE AND WORCESTER COMMUNITIES ABOUT THE FUNDAMENTAL INTELLECTUAL, CULTURAL, SPIRITUAL, AND AESTHETIC ISSUES ENCOUNTERED THROUGH VISUAL ART. OPEN FREE TO THE PUBLIC, THE GALLERY SEEKS TO PROMOTE AND SUPPORT THE INTELLECTUAL AND CULTURAL LIFE OF THE COLLEGE THROUGH THE PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF A DIVERSITY OF VISUAL ARTS. THE GALLERY HAS SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTEGRATING THE LIBERAL ARTS VALUES OF THE COLLEGE AND THE CLASSROOM BY LINKING EXHIBITIONS TO THE BROADER CURRICULUM AND COMMUNITY.
THE COLLEGE IS A MEMBER OF THE PATRIOT LEAGUE AND OFFERS A COMPREHENSIVE ATHLETIC PROGRAM AT THE NCAA DIVISION I LEVEL CONSISTING OF 27 ATHLETIC TEAMS. THE COLLEGE PROMOTES WIDESPREAD INVOLVEMENT IN ATHLETICS FOR STUDENTS OF ALL SKILL LEVELS AND INTERESTS. APPROXIMATELY SEVENTY PERCENT OF HOLY CROSS STUDENTS PARTICIPATE IN SPORTS AT THE VARSITY, CLUB OR INTRAMURAL LEVELS. THE COLLEGE ALSO PERIODICALLY OPENS ITS HART RECREATION CENTER FACILITIES, INCLUDING A SIX-LANE SWIMMING POOL, ICE RINK, BASKETBALL COURTS, AND FITNESS CENTER TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC. IN ADDITION, HOLY CROSS HOSTS SUMMER CAMPS FOR AREA YOUTHS.
THE COLLEGE PROGRAM INVITES STUDENTS TO BRING THEIR REAL WORLD EXPERIENCES INTO THE CLASSROOM, AND THEN CHALLENGES STUDENTS TO BRING THEIR CLASSROOM EXPERIENCE OUT INTO THE WORLD TO BE TESTED, STRENGTHENED, AND ENHANCED. THE PROGRAM ASKS THE STUDENTS TO CONSIDER THE CONTEXT, INCLUDING THE SOCIAL AND CIVIC CONTEXTS, OF THE SUBJECTS THEY STUDY. THE COLLEGES GOAL IS TO CREATE A BRIDGE BETWEEN THE CLASSROOM AND THOSE INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCES OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM THEREBY ENRICHING THE LEVEL OF DIALOGUE AND DISCUSSION. THROUGH THE STUDENT PROGRAM FOR URBAN DEVELOPMENT, STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO INTERACT WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY TUTORING CHILDREN, SERVING AS WELFARE ADVOCATES, VOLUNTEERING, AND VISITING THE SICK AND LONELY. THEY ENCOUNTER THE EFFECTS OF GLOBALIZATION ON A LOCAL LEVEL AS THEY WORK WITH THE HOMELESS AND UNEMPLOYED.
A COMMITMENT TO SHAPING MORE INFORMED, SENSITIVE, AND CONSCIENTIOUS GLOBAL CITIZENS IS NOT ONLY THE COLLEGES OBLIGATION AS AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IT SPEAKS DIRECTLY TO THE HEART OF THE COLLEGES MISSION.
Form 990 Part III Line 4B THE COLLEGE IS THE RECIPIENT OF VARIOUS GRANTS FROM PRIVATE FOUNDATIONS, CORPORATIONS AND THE U.S. FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. THESE GRANTS FUND BASIC RESEARCH INSTRUCTION, CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, AND INSTRUMENTATION OF COLLEGE LABORATORIES.
