Rev. Philip L. Boroughs, S.J., (born Vancouver, British Columbia) is an American Jesuit, academic and university administrator. Boroughs was unanimously selected as the incoming 32nd President of the College of the Holy Cross on May 6, 2011. He took office on January 9, 2012, when Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J., who had served as President of Holy Cross since 2000, stepped down.
Boroughs has worked as an academic administrator and faculty member at both Gonzaga University and Seattle University.
In 2003, Boroughs was selected as the Vice President for Mission and Ministry at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. Boroughs' responsibilities as vice president included fundraising, the creation of religious programs to serve the Georgetown community and the promotion of Georgetown University's Jesuit and Roman Catholic identities.
Under Boroughs, the renovations of Georgetown University's Dahlgren Chapel of the Sacred Heart were begun. The school also launched the construction project for the forthcoming Calcagnini Contemplative Center. Plans were also initiated to add Jewish, Muslim and Eastern religion worships spaces within Georgetown University's Leavey Center. Each of these projects was scheduled for completion after Boroughs left Georgetown to become President of the College of the Holy Cross.
