Abstract
In September 1972, the first class of women accepted to the College of the Holy Cross arrived on campus. This meant major changes for the College during the years spanning 1967, when women attended classes during Co-Ed Day, and 1976, when the first fully co-educational class walked across the stage at Commencement.
This exhibit is an abridged version of the digital exhibit And Thus Entered Women: (arcgis.com)">And Thus Entered Women: The Beginnings of Co-Education at Holy Cross from 1967-1976, which tells the story of these early women Crusaders through videos, news clippings, photographs and other archival materials drawn from the Holy Cross Archives and Distinctive Collections.
It was created as part of Lighting the Way: Fifty Years of Women at Holy Cross, a College initiative which began in September 2022 and continued through May 2024 (the 50th anniversary of the first women graduates) to recognize, reflect on and celebrate the impact of Holy Cross women.
