Welcoming New Staff & Introducing Legacy Planning Tools

As we look forward to Reunion 2026, we’re excited to share some wonderful updates with our Holy Cross community.

Welcome Our Newest Team Member

We’re delighted to introduce Karen Leslie, who has recently joined our Gift Planning team. Karen brings valuable expertise and is eager to help you explore meaningful ways to support Holy Cross while creating your lasting legacy.

Celebrating Our Legacy Leaders

We are proud to celebrate the classes with the highest number of living 1843 Society members:

  1. Most Members: Class of ’76
  2. Runner-Up: Class of ’68
  3. Three-Way Tie: Classes of ’65, ’70 and ’72

These classes truly embody “for others, forever.”

Enhanced Resources at Your Service

We’ve expanded tools on our 1843legacysociety.org website to better serve you. Have questions about giving through your IRA, or wondering how a donor-advised fund works? Ask Max, our new AI planning companion. Max is trained on exclusive, safe and reliable content, specifically created to give you quick and accurate answers. Your conversations remain completely private.

Ready to Help You Plan

Whether you’re considering your Holy Cross legacy or preparing for reunion, our gift planning team is here to assist you and work alongside your advisors to develop strategies that align with your philanthropic goals.
