O’Kane Hall at Holy Cross College in Worcester.

Rev. Philip Boroughs, president of the College of the Holy Cross, plans to retire in 2021.

Boroughs said during a live video address to campus on Tuesday that he will stay on board until June 30 and then take a one-year sabbatical before receiving a new assignment from the Jesuit Order.
