For more than 25 years, Thomas Aquinas College has invited members of the President’s Council — the backbone of its financial-aid fund — to one of two Great Books Summer Seminar Weekends. This year, however, the College updated the format of the event by offering the first of the seminars in a day-long format. That event took place this past Saturday, featuring as its guest speaker Dr. Peter Kreeft, the renowned apologist and professor of philosophy from Boston College.

Earlier this month more than 100 search-and-rescue volunteers — joined by two helicopters and rescue dogs — gathered on the campus of Thomas Aquinas College for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Annual Search and Rescue (SAR) All Team Meeting.

The College has recently received the following complete, albeit unpolished, videos of the Thomas Aquinas College Choir’s production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s Patience this past spring:

Although it is summer, the members of the Thomas Aquinas College teaching faculty have kept busy these last five weeks, as they do each year, in the College’s Tutor Summer Program.

The program, which begins shortly after Commencement, consists of thrice-weekly, 90-minute morning seminars that run through the end of June. Meeting in the very classrooms where they usually teach, the tutors engage in conversations led by one of their peers.

This past Saturday, local members of the Thomas Aquinas College President’s Council came to campus to learn from Landscape Supervisor Dave Gaston about how he — with the help of his team of student workers — keeps the grounds so beautiful.
