Description
In September 1972, a group of women made history when they arrived at Holy Cross as the College’s first full-time female students. Beginning in September 2022 and continuing through May 2024 (the 50th anniversary of the first women graduates), the College will recognize, reflect on and celebrate the impact of Holy Cross women.
Lighting the Way Together was a campus event for all members of the classes of ’74, ’75 and ’76 to revisit their experiences and the campus through social events, panel discussions and other opportunities. This event took place at the College of the Holy Cross on October 27-28, 2023.
The panel discussion featured faculty members, administrators, and student leaders from the 1970s sharing their memories and perspectives of what it was like to be there "from the beginning.” Panelists include Suzanne Geaney '76, Ruth Keefe Hingston '76, Theresa McBride, Ph.D. (Professor of History Emerita), Bill McCarthy, '76 (Rear Admiral, USN, Ret.), Frank Vellaccio, Ph.D. (Senior Vice President Emeritus) and Deborah Fulham Winston '74. Moderator: Vickie Langohr, Ph.D., Associate Professor of Political Science and Director of the Gender, Sexuality and Women's Studies Program.
