Don’t you all look great!
When members of the Thomas Aquinas College Class of 2018 receive their diplomas at the College’s May 12 Commencement exercises, friends and family members near and far will be able to watch live on the College’s website.
“We are pleased to make the full Commencement ceremony available via livestream,” says Director of College Relations Anne S. Forsyth. “We know that there are often relatives and other loved ones who cannot travel to California for the occasion, so we are grateful to be able to bring the experience to them.”
For Thomas Aquinas College’s first annual Parents’ Day of Giving on May 1, the parents and grandparents of students past and present were challenged to raise $75,000. By day’s end, they had surpassed that total.
“When our anonymous benefactor agreed to match all gifts up to $75,000, we thought that was a very ambitious goal, and we would have been thrilled just to have met it,” says Robert Bagdazian, coordinator of the Thomas Aquinas College Parents’ Association. “But our parents exceeded even our most hopeful predictions.”
A faithful benefactor of nearly 50 years, the Dan Murphy Foundation of Los Angeles has awarded Thomas Aquinas College a $511,000 grant to aid in its Thomas Fire Recovery efforts.
