With commencement quickly approaching, Maddie Flynn ’24 and J.T. Burgio ’24 are realizing how much of their journey into becoming alumni starts during their senior year. As co-chairs of the Senior Class Engagement Committee, they’ve spent this past year building on relationships with their peers and reflecting on what’s made an impact on them.
An English major and member of the women’s rowing team, Maddie spends much of her time on the water. Her teammates, she enthused, have shaped her entire Holy Cross experience.
While talking to her classmates for the Senior Class Engagement Committee, Maddie “encourages people to think first about specific moments, clubs, or things that were instrumental in their time at HC,” she said. When the time came to make her own gift, making it to the women’s rowing team was the obvious choice. “This team has taught me and given me so much more than I could ever give back to.”
J.T. is a history major aiming to attend law school, and is heavily involved in Working for Worcester, the sports broadcasting radio station and the club soccer team. He made his gift in honor of two professors who made a significant impact on his time at the College.
