Progress is still under way — and work crews are hard at work — on the construction of the College’s next classroom building, St. Gladys Hall. “Grading and foundations are complete, as are most of the site utilities,” reports Vice President for Finance and Administration Peter L.

Four decades ago, Dr. Ronald P. McArthur made an enormous leap of faith. Leaving his home and a good job behind, he moved some 400 miles to become the founding president of Thomas Aquinas College — an institution which, at the time, had neither a campus, money, nor students.
