The Teacher Who Changed My Life
Last year, we invited our readers to submit essays on the topic of “The Teacher Who Changed My Life.” For months we received tributes to teachers spanning 60 years of classes and every academic discipline. Touching and inspiring, humorous and heartfelt, these submissions were testament to the depth of the Holy Cross experience and the ability of faculty to transform students. Read our seven selections and reflect, once again, on the teachers who have made a difference in your own life.

First-Year Confidential
Do you remember your first year on Mount St. James? Meeting your roommate? The uncertainty of that first night in your dorm room? Your first class, your first lab, your first term paper? This past August, incoming student Jennifer Robert agreed to share her impressions in an online diary that was published regularly on the College’s Web site. Over the course of the academic year, Jen chronicled her thoughts and experiences—and the unique moments, both mundane and profound, which mark life at Holy Cross.

Tuscany Revisited
“To follow the history of Italy through the centuries is to penetrate the very heart of western civilization. The artists, thinkers and statesmen of this small but complex and vital country are part of our past and have helped to make the present world what it is today.”
By Rev. John E. Brooks, S.J., ’49, president emeritus of Holy Cross
