Why did Holy Cross develop Montserrat?
Montserrat was inspired by the success of the First-Year Program, which was established in 1992 and was offered to about 150 students each year. The Montserrat concept of a “universal” experience for all first-year students grew out of the College’s recent comprehensive curriculum review. It was adopted by vote of the Faculty Assembly (which includes representatives from Student Affairs, the Chaplain’s Office, the Library, and students) in the spring of 2006.
