St. Edward’s University Founder’s Day
Every October, the St. Edward’s University community celebrates Founder’s Day to honor our Holy Cross founders and French heritage.
How does St. Edward’s celebrate?
Students, faculty and staff celebrate all week with a special mass, the kickoff of a month-long photography exhibit “Images of our French Heritage,” six short films by current French directors, French food and music on the plaza, post-graduate service program exploration and a freshmen service project.
How can I be involved?
We invite alumni and parents across the country to join our celebration by volunteering for one of our alumni chapter service projects. We hope to see you at an event!
