It really is a dump, isn’t it?

Giving rate is low at duke but what’s the average giving amt? I’d surmise duke’s is higher

^never heard of that site but other publications would put Slippery Rock ahead of Princeton. Reference Linkedin top 10 strongest alumni networks total Vogue. Btw what’s not to like about Holy Cross historically one of the best liberal arts schools in the country. No one objectively can say Smith College or Bates is better than HC. Only famous Smith grads recall were Nancy Reagan and Barbara Bush and they aren’t walking around the Smith campus anytime soon. Holy Cross With ND and Georgetown have been the leaders of Catholic schools for almost 200 years.

When considered by analysis, this site placed Holy Cross 92nd nationally by Career Outcomes:

College & University Rankings in 2025 https://share.google/l6XPoYecd5l5PoSap

CEO of Under Armour

Holy Cross is a great school and lots of high powered grads in Washington over the decades. Edward Benett Williams high profile lawyer and former owner of Oriioles and part owner of Washington Red Skins. Gordon Peterson long time local News anchor, Chris Matthews, Congressman Jim Moran from northern Virginia, Fauci, Clarence Thomas, former CEO of Danaher, and former CEO of Under Yarmouth are just a few. That school has highly successful alums in every major city. HC doesn’t get the publicity kut should Be ranked in top 10 -15 among LACs.

Not sure you can compare Boston College which has a school of education(Teacher), school of nursing and a night school with a top 25 exclusively liberal arts school like Holy Cross.

Blackstone, I would not be proud of that. Blackstone has been involved in several controversies and has paid large fines for improper practices over the years, particularly involving its real estate holdings and fee disclosures. The company has also faced criticism regarding its environmental record and its portfolio companies' labor practices.

And no HC does not have high phenomenal alum success.

It feels like there are more duke alums in back bay than holy cross

Tbf dukies are targets for Bain cap and the other pe firms in back bay so that’s probably why

And catholic school grads probably are more suburban in mindset

Holy Cross alumni controlled the PE firm that acquired my employer. The firm PE sent us a lot of great, hardworking Holy Cross interns. So, there’s at least one PE firm out there that loves Holy Cross.

The Holy Cross alumni giving % is twice that if Duke-47% vs <25% for the Dukies.

And Anthony Fauci is a notable alum.
