Dear Holy Cross Community,

We, the proud alumni, students, and friends of Holy Cross, are uniting to voice our collective concern and objection to the proposed name change from Holy Cross Crusaders. Our alma mater holds a special place in our hearts, and the term "Crusaders" is not just a name but a symbol of our shared history, traditions, and values.

The call for a name change has sparked a wave of nostalgia and concern among us. The Holy Cross Crusaders represent a legacy of academic excellence, camaraderie, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. Changing the name would sever the ties that bind us to the very essence of what makes our alma mater unique.

We understand the importance of fostering an inclusive and respectful environment, and we firmly believe that the term "Crusaders" has always stood for unity, academic achievement, and a commitment to making a positive impact on the world. It does not inherently promote intolerance or bias.

By signing this petition, we express our unwavering support for preserving the identity that has been cherished by generations. We call on the university administration to reconsider the proposed name change and engage in a thoughtful dialogue with the community to find a solution that upholds our values while promoting inclusivity.

Let us stand together and ensure that the name Holy Cross Crusaders continues to inspire generations to come. Sign this petition and help us preserve our cherished heritage.
