\"tran\"There are so many wonderful qualities to Holy Cross that it’s hard to just focus on one…but that is my assignment for this entry.\u00a0 Of all the characteristics that define Holy Cross, the one that impresses me the most is our active commitment\u00a0 to social justice and service.\u00a0 Having been at two other small liberal arts institutions prior to coming to Holy Cross, I have seen three different versions of the small, undergraduate liberal arts experience,\u00a0 and the main differentiation for me is the call to service that stems from our Jesuit mission.\u00a0 Helping those in need is something that is personally and professionally important to me and I always felt somewhat alone in my commitment to social issues but when I came here, I was pleasantly blown away by the strength of Holy Cross’s commitment to serving the greater community.\u00a0 Students, faculty and staff truly believe in the Jesuit mission to serve others and because of our mission, there is a certain tone of caring and compassion on campus that I just haven’t seen anywhere else.\u00a0 I find myself constantly inspired and challenged to find more meaningful ways to help and serve because of the environment here at Holy Cross.<\/p>\n
