Aquinas College is once again one of the nation’s “Best
Value” schools according to The Princeton Review and
USA Today. It is the only Catholic college in
California to be so named, and one of only five Catholic
institutions in the country, along with Boston College,
the College of the Holy Cross, Georgetown University,
and the University of Notre Dame.
Meanwhile,
in its 2012 survey, U.S. News & World
Report has ranked the College as one of “The Most Popular Liberal
Arts Colleges” in the
United States. The newsweekly found that 69.1 percent of
the applicants admitted to the College go on to enroll
as freshmen in the fall — the seventh-highest “yield”
rate in the country.

TO HOST CATHOLIC HEALTH- CARE CONFERENCE
Katie
Short (’80) and John Damiani (’84)
Mrs.
Katie Short (’80), a founder and the legal director of
the Life Legal Defense Foundation, and Dr. John Damiani
(’84), president of the Christus Medicus
Foundation, are working to host “Make Straight the
Pathway: An Integrated and Unified Solution for Catholic
Healthcare Reform” in San Francisco from March 29-31.
“The current trajectory of public health policy points
to a future where the phrase ‘Catholic health care’ will
be an oxymoron,” warns Mrs. Short. “This conference aims
to equip medical professionals, policymakers, and others
to help our country make a desperately needed course
correction.”

DEFENDING
CONSCIENCE
President
McLean Discusses the HHS Mandate on Relevant Radio
Thomas
Aquinas College President Michael F. McLean recently
appeared on Relevant Radio’s “Morning Air” program with
host Sean Herriott, where he discussed the HHS
contraceptive mandate. “As a Catholic educational
institution which defines itself by its fidelity to the
teaching authority of the Church, we are very concerned
about this mandate, and we are determined to do the best
we can to join with others in fighting the mandate and
urging that it be rescinded,” said Dr. McLean. “Short of
it being rescinded, we intend to cooperate with efforts
both in Congress and in the judiciary to mitigate the
impact of the mandate.”
