The Dunne Duo: ALUMNI PROFILE
How Holy Cross has shaped Nichole ’09 and Jay ’07 Dunne
by Madelyn McBride, Gateway 7.0
“The competence to see, and the courage to act.” Every Holy Cross College student – past and present – has undoubtedly encountered the college’s mission statement, for the saying weaves throughout courses and the community. Blessed Basil Moreau, C.S.C. the founding father of the Holy Cross Congregation, encapsulated the Catholic education and spirit through these nine words. Two alumni have found themselves continuing to live by Blessed Basil Moreau’s belief years after graduating and leaving South Bend. Jay ’07 and Nichole Dunne ’09 trace their lifestyles, mindsets, and marriage to their formative experiences as Holy Cross students. Now married and living in Indianapolis, IN (with a new Dunne on the way!), Jay and Nichole dove into their respective careers but continue to treasure and live by the theme of service to others.
