The Donelan Office advances community engagement through partnerships with students, faculty, and community organizations. Through community-based learning (CBL) courses, students at Holy Cross have the opportunity to connect academic learning with civic engagement integrated into courses offered in a wide variety of disciplines. The Scholarship in Action program (SIA) supports faculty, students, and community organizations through resources, coordination, and short-term and long-term grants for community-engaged research. In CBL courses and SIA projects, academic learning is brought to life through a range of research opportunities, community-based projects, and direct service opportunities that meet community-identified needs.

The Academic Internship Program is a full credit, one-semester course, comprised of both an analytical component (an internship seminar, such as Ethical Issues in Professional Life, Social Justice, or Legal Issues) and an experiential component (fieldwork at an internship site in Worcester or the greater Boston area).

The internship course provides third and fourth-year students with a unique opportunity for learning about particular fields through a combination of direct hands-on experience and formal study and is designed to complement the more traditional curriculum. While the main intent of the program is to provide students with an experiential learning opportunity in their chosen fields, it also provides an opportunity for career exploration.

Students in Africana Studies examine the histories, politics, cultures, and economies of Africa, the Americas, the Caribbean, and Europe using methods from multiple disciplines including history, sociology, political science, languages, literature, religion, and music.

While race is a power social construction used to oppress people of color from the past to the present, Africans and people of African descent have engaged and transformed ideas about identity, belonging, gender, ethnicity, "blackness," and "whiteness" all over the world.

Courses address intellectual achievements, cultural traditions, social institutions, and political movements of people of African descent.
The concentration encourages a global perspective of the past and the present.

Mission
The Alexander Hamilton Society (AHS) is a non-partisan, not-for-profit, national organization that seeks to identify, educate, and launch young men and women into foreign policy and national security careers imbued with the Hamiltonian perspective of strong and principled American leadership in global affairs. With the world more chaotic and dangerous today than it has been in a half-century, we seed the ground for the future of American foreign policy. Primarily through engaging in debate, AHS programming is critical to the intellectual and professional development of a new generation of American leaders. We believe that the American polity benefits from vigorous public discussion; our students frequently tell us that our events are the most engaging debates that take place on campus. AHS operates on over 80 chapters on college campuses across the country, in addition to professional chapters in New York City and Washington, DC.

Membership Benefits
AHS's selective national programming provides our student leaders with foundational educational, professional, and social experiences. From our annual Student Leadership Conference that prepares our students to lead their campus chapters to our Hamilton National Institute that educates students in the fundamentals and first principles of our industry to our robust partnership with the Reagan National Defense Forum, our national programs are unique opportunities to catapult students deep into our network and into leadership positions on their campuses.

We also assist our students with the most critical of functions: career advancement. Through opportunity tracking, mentorship and counseling, relationship building, and some financial support, our team serves as the office of career services for our student leaders, acting as their bridge into the professional world. By building relationships with like-minded institutions, offices, and people, we have become the pipeline for trusted and vetted talent, and are increasingly the first stop for resume calls in our growing network.

Initially funded by The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, Arts Transcending Borders (ATB) is an initiative designed to enhance the role of the arts in every aspect of the Holy Cross experience by infusing the arts into students' academic lives and creating new opportunities throughout the curriculum and the community to cross cultural, geographic, and disciplinary boundaries. Foremost and at the heart of the initiative lies the visiting artist-in-residence program, which brings distinguished artists to campus to engage with students, faculty, staff, and the greater Worcester community through various workshops, master classes, public lectures, and performances. In tandem, ATB sponsors dynamic programs throughout the year, ranging from lectures by renowned scholars and artists, to unique performances, exhibitions, and installations.
