he Holy Cross Alumni Association has announced the names of those alumni nominated to serve as officers and members of its Board of Directors. Kristyn M. Dyer ’94 has been re-appointed executive secretary. Michael H. Shanahan ’78 has been re-appointed treasurer. Alumni Association bylaws do not require yearly nomination to these offices.

HC Leadership Council of NY Annual Dinner
T
he Holy Cross Leadership Council (HCLC) of New York will honor John E. Luth ’74 at its annual dinner, on June 20, 2016 at The Pierre in New York City. John founded Seabury Group LLC, a New York City-based global advisory and investment company, and currently serves as its founding partner, chairman and chief executive officer. He served on the Holy Cross Board of Trustees from 2005 to 2013, and joined the Advisory Board in 2013. John and his wife, Joanne Chouinard-Luth, D.M.D. (above), recently made a recordbreaking commitment of $32.5 million to the College. Their extraordinary gift represents the single largest donation in the College’s history—and it will be used to dramatically expand and enhance the College’s indoor athletics and recreational facilities. John will be honored for his success in business and his commitment to pay it forward to future generations of Crusaders. In its 16-year history, this event has raised more than $5 million to support 375 students working at summer internships in the New York City area. Many alumni who received funding through the program have joined Mr. Luth in paying it forward and now partner with the Center for Career Development to offer internships through their companies.
