All College

The weekend brought snowstorms to both coasts, covering the campus of Thomas Aquinas College, New England, and the mountains surrounding its California counterpart. Students are busy taking their finals, but they have delighted in the signs of forthcoming winter — and Christmas! — all around them.

Enjoy these photos of the College’s two winter wonderlands …

With Thanksgiving just around the corner, Thomas Aquinas College celebrated the holiday in a show of community last Sunday evening. Students, faculty members, and their families gathered on both campuses to give thanks to God for His tremendous blessings.

“I support Thomas Aquinas College because I want others to have the opportunity to have the solid education that I received,” says Dr. Katherine Johnson (’06), an M.D. and MBA who works in marketing for a pharmaceutical company.

Dear Friend of Thomas Aquinas College,

Since 1989, the students of Thomas Aquinas College have come together on a weekend in November for the Turkey Bowl, an annual flag-football game. In 2019, the game became a two-part, bicoastal event when the College opened its New England campus.

This past Saturday was game day, with students on both coasts fired up for the competition. The East Coast saw the early action, with New England upperclassmen handily defeating their underclassmen counterparts 39–19. “We smoked them,” boasted one junior.
