Holy Cross College is a private, Catholic, co-educational, residential institution of higher education administered by members of the Congregation of Holy Cross in Notre Dame, Indiana. The college was founded by the Holy Cross Brothers in 1966. Holy Cross College was initially established in 1966 by the Mid-West Province of the Brothers of the Holy Cross as a two-year junior college, primarily to educate Holy Cross Brothers. Lay male students from the surrounding area started enrolling in 1967 and the college became coeducational in the fall of 1968. The first president and dean was John Driscoll, C.S.C. Originally, Holy Cross College only offered a two year degree, and students would then go on to top tier institutions like Notre Dame, Purdue, or Princeton. Over time, Holy Cross College increased its enrollment and academic offerings, and started to offer four year bachelor degree and many students would complete their education there and the institution became a destination in its own right. In 2013, the College received a record donation of $2 million dollars from Guy Gundlach and the Elkhart County Community Foundation, aimed at providing scholarships to family and spouses of fallen veterans. David Tyson became president in 2017 and set to repair the school's finances and reorganize the school. Due to a land sale to the University of Notre Dame and a reorganization of the curriculum, the College saw its financial situation improve and its enrollment increase. Under his direction, the school reinstated the two-year program aimed at students wishing to transfer to other schools like Notre Dame, as well as a three-year program for highly motivated students, in addition to new faculty hires. In 2020, it received a $1 million grant from the Lilly Endowment Inc. through the Charting the Future of Indiana’s Colleges and Universities program. More information...
