Holy Cross College's annual spring Academic Honors Convocation included more than 160 full-time Holy Cross students who achieved at least a 3.5 semester grade point average.
Delivering the principal address at the Convocation was David Solomon, PhD, founder and current director of the University of Notre Dame's Center for Ethics and Culture. Solomon's interests focus largely on issues in contemporary moral philosophy with a special interest in medical ethics. He is co-author of the first study of the public policy implications of the Roe v. Wade abortion decision, Abortion and Public Policy, and a study of the philosophy of Wilfrid Sellars, The Synoptic Vision. He is also the author of a number of journal articles and has served as academic advisor of Notre Dame's nationally syndicated PBS television program, Today's Life Choices for many years. He is a contributor to the Encyclopedia of Ethics and the Encyclopedia of Bioethics and has lectured at more than 100 colleges and universities in this country and Europe, recently giving the Founder's Day Lecture at Seton Hall University and the McKinlay Scholar Lectures to a consortium of colleges and universities in Ohio.
