“Making a difference, effecting change, continuing to be ‘men and women for and with others’ — these actions can be part of each and every one of our futures because that is, in so many ways, who we are,” Isabel Block said to her fellow classmates — the new minted graduates of the Class of 2019 — during her valedictory address at the College of the Holy Cross’ 173rd Commencement Exercises on May 24.
A total of 698 students were awarded Bachelor of Arts degrees surrounded by family, friends, Holy Cross faculty, staff, administrators and honored guests at the DCU Center in Worcester.
