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.

Courses address intellectual achievements, cultural traditions, social institutions, and political movements of people of African descent.

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.

Mission
The Spring Break Immersion Program offers Holy Cross students the opportunity to build relationships across economic, regional, and cultural differences with people throughout the U.S.

Solidarity, spirituality, and mutuality are core values of the program. Though there is an element of direct service involved at many of our spring break immersion sites, the primary focus is on building relationships with the people in our host communities.

Rather than setting out to “make a difference,” our students set out — in the words of Rev. Greg Boyle, S.J. — to “wonder how people are doing.” The program aims to emphasize the “with” in the phrase “people for and with others,” and we hope that participants return to campus with a deeper appreciation for accompaniment, mutuality, and shared human experience.

The Office of Parent and Family Engagement recognizes families as important influencers in students' lives and achievement. Students drive their Holy Cross education, but family involvement can be an important factor as they navigate emerging adulthood. We seek to engage, educate and inform parents and families so they can offer effective coaching and support to their developing student(s). We are committed to fostering relationships between parents and the College as we work toward the shared goal of promoting student learning, well-being, holistic development and success.

The Research Associates Program pairs students with faculty members to work on various research projects. While faculty largely benefit from having student assistance with their research, it’s also a great opportunity for student researchers. You can gain valuable experience working on a faculty project, developing critical skills needed for internships/research/post-graduation jobs, and build expertise within a certain field.

REST is a collective group made up of students, faculty and staff who are working to cultivate the value of rest at Holy Cross. Rest is taking and honoring the space and time to resist “grind culture.” Rest is giving ourselves and each other permission to let go of the need for constant striving, productivity, busy-ness, and the display of busy-ness. Rest is an act of healing that nurtures our community’s sustainability, resilience and growth
