Holy Cross has long embraced families as important members of the College community, especially for their key role in student success. With the launch of the College’s new Office of Parent and Family Engagement, Holy Cross is further strengthening this partnership. Although the office is devoted to parents and families, its ultimate goal is to support student development and enhance the student experience, says Cathleen Doane Cannon, inaugural director of the Office of Parent and Family Engagement and special assistant to the vice president for student affairs.
