It’s one thing to embrace the College of the Holy Cross mission statement — it’s another to embody it in everything you do. Once every year, the College honors five alumni who have made significant impact in their fields and have dedicated themselves to living the College’s mission with Sanctae Crucis Awards, the highest non-degree accolade the College bestows upon alumni. The 2019 distinguished recipients of the award are: Kate Curran ’85; Timothy L. Porter ’68; Jane Ryder ’82; Dr. David E. Wazer, M.D. ’78; and Benjamin Zawacki ’97.
The honorees spread out among different classrooms and communities, sharing advice, wisdom and memories of life on The Hill. We caught up with these impressive alumni to listen in on what has resonated in their education and to hear the surprising ways that their Holy Cross days ripple through their work.
