Welcoming Ceremony for Incoming Class of 2029

Holy Cross College, located in Worcester, Massachusetts, recently hosted its annual Accepted Students Day for the Class of 2028 on April 14th. Despite a snowfall of six inches the day before, approximately 500 admitted students braved the weather to get a taste of life at the prestigious institution.

The day was filled with opportunities for students to experience the Holy Cross community. Unlike typical Accepted Students Days, this event did not involve enrollment or learning more about the college. Instead, it was designed to provide a glimpse into campus life.

The event took place across various locations, including Brooks, Hogan, and Stein, but specific itineraries were not disclosed. Admissions Counselor Elisabeth Villa '22 reported a large turnout, indicating the event's success.

Food trucks, offering campus favourites like Mac Daddy and The Dogfather, were available to cater to the attendees' appetites. However, no club fair, information sessions, dorm tours, or student panels were associated with this event.

Current students were not present to greet and answer questions throughout the day, unlike in previous years. Instead, students had the chance to shadow a current student through their day, providing a more immersive experience.

It is worth noting that Palm Sunday mass was held on campus, giving families the opportunity to attend. However, this was not connected to the Accepted Students Day event.

For those interested in the most current and specific itinerary, it is best to refer to official communications from the Holy Cross College Admissions Office or check your admitted student portal, where move-in and event details are often posted.

Accepted Students Days at undergraduate colleges like Holy Cross typically include a range of activities such as campus tours, academic information sessions, meetings with faculty and current students, department open houses, financial aid counseling, and social or networking events. These events are designed to help admitted students and their families learn more about academic programs, campus life, housing, and support services before making their final enrollment decision.

Holy Cross College also hosted an Accepted Students Day on April 13 for the Class of 2029 students, but details about this event were not available.
