Members of Eco-Action, Holy Cross’ student-driven environmental group, collected about 40 photos of students posing with signs saying they voted for climate and energy legislation in the last presidential election. The photos were sent to the Power Shift Campaign, which will send them to Congress. To view all the photos taken at Holy Cross click here.

Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J., president of Holy Cross, and Leigh Colihan ’11 work in the greenhouse at Dismas House during Holy Cross Cares Day.

As part of the Green Jobs Now grassroots campaign, Holy Cross students pose with the construction team who are working on the Linda and Park B. Smith Laboratories at noon. The movement calls for a “new ‘clean and green’ economy strong enough to lift people out of poverty.” The event was sponsored by Eco-Action and Physical Plant.

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.
