Transcript of Holy Cross College Viewbook
We are within walking distance of South Bend, IN or a
short drive from many other cities in northern Indiana.
In the fall, on our northern Indiana campus, you will be
able to watch red maples, pin oaks, and dozens of other
varieties of trees, as they change from the lush greens of
summer to the rich reds and yellows that signal autumn.
All freshmen arrive early for Welcome Weekend!
You’ll have the opportunity to connect with other
new students, meet faculty members and get
comfortable with your new home before classes start.
In winter, experience activities such as cross-country
skiing, ice hockey, ice skating, and even snow tubing!
Enjoy spring with Art’s Day, and don’t miss reading the
Cauldron, our arts magazine, or acting in the annual
drama production.
The Value of Experience
Don’t let the cost of a private
education scare you away from
Holy Cross College. Our tuition
and fees place us among the most
affordable private schools in the
United States. What’s more, the
value of personal attention from
caring mentors, a 13:1 student/
teacher ratio, and experiences
you won’t find anywhere else,
make this one of today’s truly
exceptional values in higher
education. More than 70 percent
of our students receive some form
of financial aid, we hope you will
consider applying and let us show
you how affordable Holy Cross
College can be.

As a Holy Cross student, you’ll have all the advantages of a small college—professors will know you by
your first name. Professional librarians at our McKenna Library will give you individualized research help.
You will be able to take one-on-one guitar and piano lessons with our music professor. You can get
individualized help with your fitness at the Pfeil Recreation Center. And, you can get personally involved
in all the activities on campus from student government, to arts publications, to campus ministry, to
athletics, to whatever you want to accomplish! At Holy Cross, we encourage everyone to be involved.
You’ll cheer on your own Holy Cross Saints in soccer, basketball, lacrosse, baseball, hockey, and
more. But you can also join the Holy Cross cheering section on football Saturday to cheer on the
Fighting Irish at the University of Notre Dame.
If our campus ever starts to feel small, you can walk to St. Mary’s College or the University of Notre Dame
to sit in a coffee shop, visit friends, see a play, or take in a lecture.
Catch a South Bend city bus and you can see minor league baseball at Coveleski Stadium, go shopping
at the mall in Mishawaka, or see a Broadway production at the Morris Performing Arts Center. And for a
weekend getaway, the great city of Chicago is a short trip on the South Shore Railroad. Arriving in Millen-
nium Park, you can walk north along the Magnificent Mile or south to the museum campus. Take in a
concert, a ballgame, or a matinee play then catch the late train back to South Bend.
We’re
a small
college
in a big
college
town!
With five colleges and universities within a five mile radius, there is
always something to do in this big college town.

As you can see, Holy Cross College, St. Mary’s and
Notre Dame share many things in common,
especially our commitment to Catholic education.
Historically, Catholics have been instrumental in
developing many of the great colleges and
universities throughout the world as well as
developing many of the great ideas of Western
civilization. Philosophers, scholars, and artists
of the Renaissance such as Descartes, Copernicus,
Chaucer, Da Vinci, Dante, Michelangelo, Galileo, and
Cervantes and of the modern era—Pasteur, Picasso,
Matisse, Hemingway, Joyce, Fitzgerald—were all
practicing Catholics.
Holy Cross College is a place where young Catholics
can come to grow in their faith, where they can find
daily Mass on campus, participate in the sacraments,
sing in the choir, perform works of service, and
form friendships with others who share their love
of God and Church.
Holy Cross College is also a place where individuals
of all faiths and beliefs can find a well-rounded,

Distinctly CatholicOpen to all…
“I have definitely grown in my faith since coming here. Daily mass gives me a
time to talk to God, and meeting with my fellow Mission Team friends once a
week helps me to know that I am part of a community of people who care
about me.” —Sara Proctor ’11
disciplined college education. Anyone who is open
to a rigorous college experience that includes
learning about the history and ideas of Christian
faith (essentially the last 2,000 years of Western
Civilization) will find a home at Holy Cross College.
Opened in 1966 by the Brothers of the Holy Cross, we
are inspired by their founder, Blessed Basil Moreau,
a leading educator of his time. His philosophy of
relationship-based education is still very alive and
present today. In fact, our professors try to be more
than just teachers for our students—they aspire to
be mentors.
Holy Cross College is all about forming relationships that
help you succeed. Fr. Moreau formed his schools around
the concept of family. By developing relationships with
professors, we believe that the educational experience
will be richer and more fulfilling for our students.
For Holy Cross College educators, the success of each
student is something we take personally.

Experience
The mission of Holy Cross College is to educate the whole
person—body, mind, and spirit. When you choose to come to
Holy Cross, you choose to participate in programs that will help
you think critically, help you explore your faith and spirituality,
help you understand the world in greater depth, and help you
begin to find your place in it. We are certain that the experiences
you gain by completing your studies at Holy Cross will make
you stand out from the crowd.
Today, more than ever, there is an emphasis
on the practicality of a college education.
Will you be prepared for the workforce? Will
you qualify for acceptance into graduate
school programs? Will you be qualified to
achieve your goals? A Holy Cross College
education is the answer to these questions.
However, more importantly for you—will
you ultimately be satisfied with your
achievements? Will you be ready to enter
a profession with a passion for your work
and certainty that comes from knowing
what you want to do, how you want to do
it, and why?
At Holy Cross College, the major you choose
is only the beginning. All of our degree
programs are designed so that you will
enter a practical, four-year educational
experience in the liberal arts tradition. The
core curriculum is designed to improve your
mind, develop your moral judgment,
broaden your perspective, and enhance
your leadership—qualities every
employer wants.
From the beginning, you will have a faculty
advisor who will get to know you and be
your personal guide and mentor for the
first two years. After that, you will select
an advisor who is an expert in your field
of study.
You will also have the resources of our
Center for Discernment and Preparation
at your service. This office helps you not
only find an internship, but provides
guidance and resources to research
professions, discover your interests,
and decide your future whether it be
business, law, education, military service,
entrepreneurship, politics, health care fields,
non-profit enterprise, or religious life.
We understand you have four years
to make life decisions that will affect the
course of your future. We take our role in
this process very seriously. That is why our
classes are small, so we will get to know
you individually. This is why we require
experiential programs, so that you learn
by doing and experience the practices
and principles of your future profession,
not just the theory.

The goal of the Teacher
Education program at

their future students.
Holy Cross College elemen-
tary education teachers are
passionate, lifelong learners
who see teaching as their
vocation. They follow in the
tradition of the Brothers
of Holy Cross who were
founded as a teaching
order. A child’s future is

receives. Your impact as
educator will be strongly
correlated with the quality
of the education you

College. When you receive
your degree, you can be
certain you will have the
skills and experience to
ensure your students will
remember you as a
teacher who made a
difference for them.

A business major or
concentration is excellent
preparation for any career.
You will not only be ready
to lead in the commercial,
financial, nonprofit, or
government sector, but
the skills you gain will be
valuable in any field you
choose to pursue.
With classes in accounting,
economics, communication,
business law and ethics, you
will be prepared to assume
a leadership role wherever
you may be headed after
graduation.
Even if your interests lie
outside of the traditional
business arena, the skills
you will develop while
pursuing this major can be
invaluable. All students are
required to complete an
Internship Experience.
In the past, students have
worked with U.S. Senators,
CEOs, doctors, lawyers, and
other influential decision
makers within their commu-
nities and our world.

“I came to Holy Cross with the goal of becoming a teacher.
Now, as I near my degree, I hope to one day have the
impact on my students that my professors have had on me.”
—Emily Ford ’09
Psychology is the science
of mental processes and
human behavior. The study
of psychology will allow you a
wonderful opportunity to
bridge the gap between
humanities and the sciences.
You will have the option to
take courses that introduce
you to basic principles of
human behavior, including
conditioning, development,
personality, learning, and
adjustment. Additional
courses include Social
Psychology, where you will
study group behavior and
attitude formation;
Abnormal Psychology, where
you will familiarize
yourself with the different
approaches to understanding,
preventing, and treating
mental disorders; Educational
Psychology where you will
explore psychological
concepts as they relate to the
teaching/ learning process.
You may also want to take a
multi-disciplinary course such
as Social Gerontology where
you will undertake the study
of aging with a focus on
social issues.
You will prepare for careers
in healthcare related fields,
human resources, business,
or you may also consider
continuing your studies in
graduate school. The
experiences you gain by
studying this discipline at
Holy Cross College will
mean that any goal you set
that includes working with
people is within your reach.

y One reason you may choose
to attend Holy Cross College
is because you understand
that faith and spirituality are
integral to your success in
life. Holy Cross College takes
very seriously its mission
to educate our students
especially in the Catholic
faith and theological
tradition.
Theology majors develop a
deep understanding of ethics
that will guide them whether
they choose careers in law,
business, economics, public
administration, or find their
calling in the ministry.
The study of theology will
prepare you to be a leader
of your religious community,
your business community, or
your hometown. You will
explore your own personal
experience of Christianity and
how religion impacts the rest
of the world.
You will take courses such as
Church History, Theological
Anthropology, Introduction
to Moral Theology, Christ
and the Trinity, and Catholic
Social Teaching, along with
many other courses designed
to inform you and enrich your
experience of Christianity.Hol

at Holy Cross College, you

are praying for a certain grade). We take our
Catholic mission seriously and offer you every
opportunity to grow your faith, expand your spirit,
and deepen your relationship with God while you
pursue your academic interests. Attend Mass, worship
with your classmates and friends, or attend a

with God in detail. Everyone is welcome!

When we ask our students why they chose to come to Holy Cross College,
we hear a variety of answers: I want to be a lawyer; I want to run my own
business; I want to make a difference in my community. But, the one answer
that seems to underlie all others is that our students come to Holy Cross
College for the experience.
Holy Cross College is unique in that, in order to graduate with a bachelor’s
degree, every student must complete four experiential programs.
LearningExperiential
48642_HCC Viewbook Resized 5/21/09 11:33 AM Page 14
1. The Service Learning ExperienceThe Brothers of Holy Cross embrace a spirit of outreach, charity, and
involvement. In keeping with this spirit, every student accomplishes a Service
Learning Experience. This experience
provides the insight that one of the best
parts of living comes from contributing
your skills, effort, and understanding to
others. In working for others, students
learn more about themselves, their hopes
for the future, their talents, and potentially
their vocation.
You may want to be a “big brother or
sister” to a child in need of a positive
role model. Volunteer in a local health clinic to learn the impact of disease
in your community, build a home with Habitat for Humanity, or volunteer
in a Catholic Charities soup kitchen or clothing drive. Our students have
taught reading and math on Indian reservations, tutored students in the
South Bend community, cared for the sick and elderly in hospice centers, and
volunteered to deliver food and toys during the holidays just to name a few.
The Service Learning Experience is much more important than just a resume
builder. The program is designed to teach leadership and instill in Holy
Cross College students a sense of responsibility to their community and a
sense of duty that will stay with them long after graduation.
The Global Immersion Experience has impacted
everything else I have studied at Holy Cross
College. Once you gain the perspective
of yourself as a member of a global community,
everything else in your life is affected by it.

2. The Global Immersion Experience While the small class sizes and personal relationships that you develop
with classmates and professors are but two of the great benefits of
attending Holy Cross College, the College also has a mission to develop
students who are knowledgeable about their position in the world
community and are concerned about their impact upon it. This is why
every student working toward a bachelor of arts degree must complete
a Global Immersion Experience.
You will travel abroad under the care of Holy Cross Brothers at retreat
centers in Ghana, Peru, Mexico, or India.
Before you leave, you will study the history, mission, and traditions of the
country you’ll be visiting. And once you arrive, be prepared to see the world
in a whole new light!
Ghana
You may want to head to Ghana where you’ll be able to
explore the infamous coastal slave castle. You will learn
about the slave trade and its impact on US history while also
being able to discuss the Ghanaian perspective of the slave
trade with local experts.
You will be able to visit the Kakum Rain Forest and
experience its Canopy Walk, a tour that will literally
take you to the treetops!
Peru
The Congregation of Holy Cross operates one of the largest
parishes in the world in Lima, Peru—a congregation of over
200,000 people! You will help the Brothers teach English,
or help repair a local chapel. Take time to hike in Andes
Mountains and explore the Inca ruins at Macchu Picchu,
explore the Presidential Palace in “El Centro” in downtown
Lima. Practice your Spanish as you learn about the people,
their rich culture, their economic conditions, and their
devotion to spirituality.
India
In India, you will be able to explore cities like Delhi and
Bangalore. In your studies, you will consider issues of
poverty and study the subsistence farmers who make
their livings alongside the growing economies in the cities.
Ride in a bicycle taxi to visit the Taj Mahal and learn about
its construction, the ancient culture, and vibrant faith of
Indian citizens.
Mexico
In Monterrey, you will learn about the rich cultural
heritage of Mexican Catholicism, devotion to Our Lady
of Guadalupe, and the celebrations of Las Posadas.
Students choosing the Global Immersion Experience in
Mexico will explore issues of poverty and justice and study
the background of Mexican immigrants in the United States.
Take in the breathtaking views of nearby Cerro de La Silla
(Saddleback Mountain) or browse the collection at the
Museum of Mexican history.

3. The Professional InternshipThrough the Lilly Center for Discernment and Preparation, students complete a thorough
examination of their goals, skills, faith, and personality traits to discover if what they want to be
is a good fit with who they are and what they will be good at. Do you really have the patience
to be a teacher? Are you self-disciplined enough for a career in law? Does the opportunity to
lead give you confidence? Is the up and down competition of business something that makes
you nervous or enthusiastic? Do you like to solve the puzzles of technology?
It is a common experience for many college students to realize that the dreams of their childhood
are not necessarily the careers of adulthood. As you mature and discover new talents or grow in
new directions, you begin to realize the relationship between career and calling.
Through the Professional Internship, you can try on a career before you accept a job. We have
had students take internships as Congressional aides, TV producers, marketing assistants, healthcare
counselors, student teachers, construction supervisors, automobile designers, and in military
officer training.
When students are considering their careers, we want them to
satisfy their own interests while at the same time bringing in an
element of faith to the their decisions and their work experience…
this translates to a rich experience that they will remember
for their entire lives.
—Daniel Haverty, Director, Center for Discernment and Preparation
4. The Capstone PresentationAttending Holy Cross College is life changing. The Capstone Presentation allows you to share with
your peers, faculty, family, and community and business leaders the ways in which your experience
has changed you. You will deliver a 45-minute multi-media presentation that discusses college
coursework, service experiences, Global Immersion Experiences, internship and work experiences,
as well as the people and relationships that have changed your life. You will reflect on college and
look forward to post college options and how what you have learned has shaped your
decision-making process.
College can be time of profound change. The Capstone Project helps you make sense of these
changes, synthesize what you have learned, and it allows you to prove to yourself, as well as your
Capstone Evaluation Committee, that you are ready to take the next step in your life.

We are members of the National Association
of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) conference,
which provides many challenging opportunities
for competition. The men’s golf team participates
in the Notre Dame Invitational where they face
some of the best collegiate golfers in the country.
The men’s Hockey Club participates in the ACHA
(American College Hockey Association), and their
home ice is the Icebox in South Bend.
The Men’s and Women’s basketball teams are
excited to play on the new court in the
Pfeil Recreation Center. Participating in
the athletics program at Holy Cross College
offers a very rich experience. You
will learn to set and achieve
goals for yourself and
learn to participate as a
member of a team. You
might achieve a personal
best or help bring your team from behind to a
spectacular victory. You will take the lessons from
the field or on the court back to the classroom
and with you into your life after graduation.
