Meet Dr. Griffin
Dr. Mike Griffin has been at Holy Cross for over 20 years. As a scholar, he explores great figures of the Christian Tradition—the early Irish monks, St. Thomas Aquinas, and Pope St. John Paul II—to offer surprising insights for social repair. He is a triple Domer (Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral degrees from Notre Dame) who has helped lead Holy Cross to a key role in building the tri-campus community (Holy Cross, Saint Mary’s, and Notre Dame). Also, as a scholar and administrator fluent in Spanish and an admirer of Latin culture, he has helped lead Holy Cross in becoming a Hispanic Serving Institution.
