N. Salinas attending Holy Cross
WORCESTER, Mass. – The College of the Holy Cross is excited to welcome Natalia Salinas of Mendota as a member of the College's Class of 2028.
At 835 students, the Class of 2028 includes students from 507 different high schools, 41 U.S. states and territories, 13 different countries, and 33 different languages spoken. This incoming class represents one of the most diverse and academically accomplished classes in the College's history.
Admission to the Class of 2028 was more competitive than ever with a 10% increase in the number of applications submitted, and the lowest-ever proportion of applicants admitted - 17.6%.
The new Crusaders have distinguished themselves through community service, leadership roles, and diverse participation in areas like the arts, music and athletics. They arrived on campus and moved into the residence halls on Aug. 21, where they were welcomed to Mount St. James by an enthusiastic purple crew of current students, staff, faculty and alumni. Fall classes began on Aug. 27.
"Welcome, Class of 2028!" College President Vincent D. Rougeau told the class during Mass of the Holy Spirit. "You chose Holy Cross, where classes are small and the community is vibrant and ready for your contributions. Here, you will be encouraged to speak up and engage. When, how, and with whom are up to you. You will have your certainties challenged and perspectives broadened. And trust me, you will thrive."
