Fr. Boroughs talks about the reasons, as well as principled leadership and meaning of 'contemplatives in action' September 10th, 2012 Nikolas Markantonatos In a video interview, Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, SJ, president, discusses the unique qualities that make Holy Cross one of the nation's finest liberal arts colleges — and why they helped attract him to Mount St. James. Fr. Boroughs, formerly vice president for mission at Georgetown University, has served as a Holy Cross trustee since 2008. He assumed office as the 32nd president of Holy Cross in January, succeeding Rev. Michael C. McFarland, SJ, after his successful 12-year tenure. Fr. Boroughs also talks about how the College's Jesuit tradition — particularly the value of being a "contemplative in action" — promotes students' intellectual, moral and spiritual growth, as well as Holy Cross' long history of producing principled leaders who work in nearly every imaginable field. news.holycross.edu
