Current Students
Dear Students,
With the College having decided to cancel exam week, many of you may be wondering about how we will administer this semester’s final exams. In order to preserve as much as possible the integrity of the first semester, and to minimize the adverse effects of the fire and evacuation, tutors will administer final exams during the first week back after the Christmas break.
*** UPDATED INFORMATION 12/12, 12:55 p.m. ***
Power and road access have been restored to the campus! Students can come to campus to retrieve their personal belongings this week, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Please note the following:
Dear Students, Parents, Faculty, and Staff,
UPDATE:
- The road from Santa Paula to Thomas Aquinas College has been cleared of downed power lines, but remains closed today because of high winds.
- The College is trying to arrange for students to come to the campus sometime tomorrow (Friday, December 8) to pick up books and other personal items.
- The College is looking to rent generators to provide emergency power to the campus so that students can take their exams next week.
Dear Students and Parents:
Even though the road to Thomas Aquinas College remains closed, Director of Alumni Relations Aaron Dunkel (’06) was able to work his way onto campus, where he took the following photos:
By God’s grace, Thomas Aquinas College appears to have emerged unscathed from the Thomas Fire. Although there has been extensive damage to trees and brush, as well as minor damage to the coffee-shop patio, no major structures have been harmed.
On Saturday, December 3, the students of Thomas Aquinas College transformed St. Joseph Commons into a formal ballroom for the annual Advent dance:
As is custom at the College, a large portion of the evening was dedicated to student-produced entertainment, with songs, skits, caroling, and a dramatic reading of “The Night Before Christmas” for children of faculty members.

Remarks at the 2017 Thanksgiving Dinner
I have just a few thoughts to share as we celebrate Thanksgiving. Thomas Aquinas College has much to be grateful for.
On Sunday evening President Michael F. McLean hosted students, faculty, and staff at an all-College Thanksgiving dinner. The evening included remarks from Dr. McLean, music by the student choral group Chrysostomos, and, of course, turkey and all the fixings.
