Hearing everyone\u2019s story is the thing I love most about prospective students. We all have a reason to why or how we got to Holy Cross and hearing everyone\u2019s different stories is a great way to interact with them.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

I really enjoy expressing how much I love Holy Cross. Also, having been in the position of prospective students before, I know how stressful the application process is, so I would like to ease their concerns about it as well as\u00a0 give them a better understanding of what Holy Cross is like.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
