Thomas Aquinas College Featured in the 2013 Edition of The Best 377 Colleges
On Monday, August 20, 2012, some 102 students from across the country and abroad matriculated as freshmen at Thomas Aquinas College — the Class of 2016.
The morning began with a Mass of the Holy Spirit in Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity Chapel, with the Most Rev. Liam Cary, the newly installed Bishop of Baker (Ore.), presiding. Following the Mass, students, faculty, and staff convened in St. Joseph Commons for the Matriculation Ceremony.
In preparation for the upcoming academic year — freshman orientation begins Friday — Thomas Aquinas College has hosted three retreats in the last two days.

President McLean Invested in the Order of Malta
When longtime friend and member of the College’s Board of Governors Fred Ruopp first asked him to consider becoming a knight of Malta, Michael McLean spent time thinking and praying about whether he had a calling to do so. After all, as a tutor, and now in a special way as president of Thomas Aquinas College, his life was already dedicated to Catholic liberal education. Would it be wise to take on more?
According to newly released data (PDF) from the California Student Aid Commission, Thomas Aquinas College alumni have a 0.0 percent default rate on their student loans — a testament to the College’s affordability, the generosity of its benefactors, and the character of its graduates.

Dear Alumni,
The time has finally come when I am unable to teach anymore at the College. The prospect saddens me in many ways, especially because my years at the College have made it possible for me to meet so many of you and recognize in you that divine life without which we live in vain. These connections are now severed, and I on my side will miss them very dearly.
Andrew “Kent” Moore (’14) is a Thomas Aquinas College student who was struck and killed by a passing vehicle while participating in the Crossroads Pro-Life Walk Across America on July 20, 2012. Please pray for the repose of his soul and the consolation of his family.
