The bronze statue of Fr. Pedro Arrupe, Superior General of the Society of Jesus, was dedicated before alumni and friends.  The sculptor was Brian Hanlon, who also created the Bob Cousy sculpture in front of the Hart Center.

A quote from a now famous speech Fr. Arrupe delivered to alumni of Jesuit schools in Europe in 1973 appears on the plaque.

The statue was made possible by a generous gift from longtime Holy Cross supporter Stephen A. Lovelette ’78.

Christopher Masello ’09 (charcoal, “Sprawl) and Kledia Spiro ’10 (painting with gold leaf, “Balinese Fantasia”) earned honorable mentions at this year’s Colleges of Worcester Consortium Art Exhibition, which will be on display at ARTSWorcester (Aurora Gallery) from Feb. 6 through Feb. 27.

Holy Cross students helped area schoolchildren build a 12-by-7-foot model of Worcester’s Union Station. About 100,000 business cards were folded into cubes to build the origami structure.

The sidewalk outside of the lower Hogan Campus Center was turned into a veritable drawing board on the afternoon of Oct. 4. Titled “Chalk the Walk,” the event was sponsored by Gesso, Holy Cross’ student art club.

Campus life, academics, and environmental awareness came together — all under the apple tree in front of the Hogan Campus Center.  Visual arts professor Virginia Raguin’s Montserrat seminar, Graven Images, sampled applesauce made from the tree’s fruit  and reflected on its natural beauty.

Each year on move-in day, the Kimball Sweet Shoppe bakes a theme cake to celebrate the arrival of first-year students. This year’s luau theme was accompanied by a Hawaiian volcano complete with dry ice for a smoke effect.
