1988-1989 Fall Semester Sunday August 28 Freshmen Arrive 37 Cross wwV The College of the Holy Cross Incorporated as "Trustees of the College of the Holy Cross" in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts in 1865. Holy Cross College admits qualified students of any race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age or handicap to all the rights, privileges, programs and activities generally accorded or made available to its students. It does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin, sex, age or handicap in the administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, scholarship and loan programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs. Applicants seeking informa- tion on these matters should call or write to the Holy Cross Affirmative Action Officer, Holy Cross College, Worcester, Mass. 01610. The College Catalog is a document of record issued in September 1988. The Catalog contains cur- rent information regarding the College calendar, admissions, degree requirements, fees, regulations and course offerings. It is not intended to be and should not be relied upon as a statement of the College's contractual undertakings. The College reserves the right in its sole judgement to make changes of any nature in its program, calendar or academic schedule whenever it is deemed necessary or desirable, including changes in course content, the rescheduling of classes with or without extending the academic term, cancelling of scheduled courses and other academic activities, and requiring or affording alternatives for sched- uled courses or other academic activities, in any such case giving such notice thereof as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances. The College is accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, Inc., a non- governmental, nationally recognized organization whose affiliated institutions include elementary schools through collegiate institutions offering post-graduate instruction. Accreditation of an institution by the New England Association indicates that it meets or exceeds criteria for the assessment of institutional quality periodically applied through a peer group review process. An accredited school or college is one which has available the necessary resources to achieve its stated purposes through appropriate educational programs, is substantially doing so, and gives reasonable evidence that it will continue to do so in the foreseeable future. Institutional integrity is also addressed through accreditation. Accreditation by the New England Association is not partial but applies to the institution as a whole. As such, it is not a guarantee of the quality of every course or program offered, or the competence of individual graduates. Rather, it provides reasonable assurance about the quality of opportunities available to students who attend the institution. Inquiries regarding the status of an institution's accreditation by the New England Association should be directed to the administrative staff of the school or college. Individuals may also contact the Association at the Sanborn House, 15 High St., Winchester, MA 01890.

''•1111 4 / The College of the Holy Cross The College of the Holy Cross One of the best liberal arts colleges in the United States, Holy Cross is highly respected for its superior undergraduate academic programs, excellent faculty, and the intelligence, imagination and achievements of its students. It is also well-known for its strong, well- supported and enthusiastic commitment to the principle of educating men and women for others, in a community that generates a strong feeling of belonging and a vital sense of loyalty. As a Jesuit College, Holy Cross takes its place in a 450-year tradition of Catholic educa- tion that has distinguished itself for intellectual rigor, high academic standards, and reli- gious and moral sensitivity. Academic life at Holy Cross is serious and challenging. The excitement of it is experienced by both students and members of the faculty. It is the excitement of discovery — students discovering new things in literature, science, the arts, mathematics, religion — professors discovering new things through their research, in their laboratories and in the libraries. Student-professor exchanges in the classroom, as well as in countless informal settings, are at the center of academic life at Holy Cross. Because the student body is 100 percent undergraduate and relatively small, the opportunity for individual attention is readily avail- able. Students know their professors. Professors know and take a genuine interest in their students. The College recognizes that its able, professional and talented faculty members com- prise the particular ingredient that ultimately shapes the educational experience. They are widely respected in their academic specialties. Many have national reputations for their research and publications. Almost all of the 232 full and part-time faculty members hold doctoral degrees from some of the finest universities here and abroad. They conduct research supported by grants from foundations, government agencies and private sources. In recent years, the results of their scholarship have appeared in 875 professional and scholarly journals and in more than 35 books. Holy Cross faculty members also are dedicated to excellence in teaching and to service. They strike an appropriate balance between the transmission of knowledge and the in- vestigation of new ideas. This insures that the classroom experience is vital and that scholarly research is meaningful. It is the faculty that leavens the whole and is largely responsible for the enviable reputation that Holy Cross has worked hard to achieve, as a place where strong, first-rate liberal arts education can be and is experienced. Holy Cross is a leader among those institutions that aspire to excellence in undergradu- ate education. In recent years, its leadership has been demonstrated by: • Its membership in the Oberlin Group of 48 — a select group of prestigious, under- graduate, liberal arts schools distinguished by their extremely strong and productive undergraduate science curricula. • Its award of a National Endowment for the Humanities challenge grant of $600,000, to be matched by the College on a four-to-one basis, in order to create a $3 million fund for three endowed professorships in the humanities. • Its inclusion in the New England Consortium for Undergraduate Science Education, a group of 16 of New England's most prestigious colleges and universities, which work together in efforts to strengthen undergraduate science instruction. • Its award from the Henry R. Luce Foundation of a $450,000 grant to establish a Luce Professorship in Religion, Social Justice and Economic Development, placing Holy Cross among only 24 institutions — most of them large research universities — so recognized. Holy Cross is a place to learn how to learn, and not a place to seek job training. The fundamental purpose of the College is not to train accountants, nurses, teachers or engineers, but to inform the mind, to foster clear thought and expression as a goal achieved by a balanced study of the arts and the science. The College of the Holy Cross / 5 A distinguishing and all-important characteristic of education at Holy Cross is the em- phasis placed upon the service of faith and the promotion of justice. As a Jesuit college, the cultivation of intellectual, social, religious and ethical refinement is not an end in it- self. Rather, it has as its purpose the advancement of the Kingdom of God in His people. In the concrete, this means educating young people to be truly concerned about human welfare, about making our economies more just, and about placing men and women in public office who are honest and honorable. It has as its purpose the education of men and women who in their family life will be examples of Catholic ideals and practice, lead- ers in their parishes and in their communities. Founding The oldest Catholic college in New England, Holy Cross was founded in 1843 by the second bishop of Boston, Benedict Joseph Fenwick, S.J., who gave it the name of his cathedral, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, along with the seal and motto of the Diocese of Boston. From the start, the bishop entrusted the direction of the College to the Fathers of the Society of Jesus. The beginnings were very modest: one wooden building, a half-finished brick structure, and 52 acres of land. Today the College is a large educational complex, complete with chapel, libraries, a modern science center, classrooms, residence halls, football stadium, hockey rink and campus activity center, spread over 174 sloping acres.

    worcester art museum magazine access& classes brochure winter 2013 | volume 2 issue 1 From the Director Dear friends of the Worcester Art Museum, Thank you for all of your positive feedback regarding our first edition of ACCESS: Worcester Art Magazine. Our marketing team had a great time putting it together and our entire staff is proud of the results. ACCESS is destined to reflect what is going on at the Museum, what our thinking is, as the museum goes through a process of transformation and capacity building. We are also thinking about how we can involve you, our visitors and friends, more in the content production of this magazine – stay tuned. ACCESS is one of our links to the community and should, as our distribution grows beyond the current number of 37,000, become another calling card for Worcester and the region. As we deliberately consider this magazine as much of a work in progress, we might be toying with the format, the design and the content. We therefore would very much welcome your input so that we can connect better with you. A good way of reaching us is via the web www.worcesterart.org, or via mail addressed to ACCESS Worcester Art Museum 55 Salisbury Street Worcester, MA, 01609 You may have wondered about the luscious, yet slightly morbid cover of the current issue. It is, in fact, a reference to the new Wall at WAM project by Robert and Shana ParkeHarrison, which will officially open on March 23. Robert and Shana’s interpretation/reaction to the space in the Renaissance Court marks the 10th Wall at WAM created in this distinguished series.

  • Eve Rifkah Interviewers: Elizabeth L. Blasser and Nicole Marotto Date: October 15, 2010 Place: Worcester, Massachusetts Transcribers: Elizabeth L
    Interviewee: Eve Rifkah Interviewers: Elizabeth L. Blasser and Nicole Marotto Date: October 15, 2010 Place: Worcester, Massachusetts Transcribers: Elizabeth L. Blasser and Nicole Marotto Overseen by: Dr. Carl Keyes and Dr. Maryanne Leone, Assumption College Abstract: Eve Rifkah was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1948. She graduated from Canton High School and did not go back to school until she decided to get her Master‟s in Fine Arts from Vermont College. Although Eve moved around a lot when she was younger, she settled in Worcester, Massachusetts during the year 1983. She began writing on and off again while a teenager, but did not take up writing full time until her later years. While in Worcester, Massachusetts, Eve worked with the Telegram & Gazette for 17 years. She eventually began to teach Writing and English Composition college courses at Fitchburg State, Worcester State University, and WPI. She wrote a proposal to run a workshop in the Women‟s Center of Abby‟s House and volunteered there, teaching poetry, and eventually got a woman‟s poetry published. She stated “I was able to make a book for her. And she had a reading at Abby‟s House, and a lot of people came, and she sold books, and, I mean just miraculous what this did to this woman.” Eve also started a non-profit organization called Poetry Oasis and a literary journal called Diner which also positively impacted many poets‟ lives from around the world. In addition to discussing her volunteer work in Worcester, Massachusetts, Eve also reflects upon her life from a child through adulthood, discussing family, marriage, religion, political activity, and health.

    College of the Holy Cross Mission Statement The College of the Holy Cross is, by tradition and choice, a Jesuit liberal arts college serving the Catholic community, American society, and the wider world. To participate in the life of Holy Cross is to accept an invitation to join in dialogue about basic human questions: What is the moral character of learning and teaching? How do we find meaning in life and history? What are our obligations to one another? What is our special responsibility to the world's poor and powerless? As a liberal arts college, Holy Cross pursues excellence in teaching, learning, and research. All who share its life are challenged to be open to new ideas, to be patient with ambiguity and uncer- tainty, to combine a passion for truth with respect for the views of others. Informed by the presence of diverse interpretations of the human experience, Holy Cross seeks to build a community marked by freedom, mutual respect, and civility. Because the search for meaning and value is at the heart of the intellectual life, critical examination of fundamental religious and philosophical questions is integral to liberal arts education. Dialogue about these questions among people from diverse academic disciplines and religious traditions requires everyone to acknowledge and respect differ- ences. Dialogue also requires us to remain open to that sense of the whole which calls us to transcend ourselves and challenges us to seek that which might constitute our common humanity. The faculty and staff of Holy Cross, now primarily lay and religiously and culturally diverse, also affirm the mission of Holy Cross as a Jesuit college.
