TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF PHILANTHROPY
Dear friends and supporters of St. Thomas,
Something special is happening at St. Thomas, and you’re part of it.
Across every corner of our university, there is remarkable momentum. In our colleges and schools, faculty and students are pursuing bold ideas that honor our Catholic mission while preparing graduates to meet the challenges of tomorrow. Your philanthropy is fueling this momentum. Scholarships remain at the heart of our mission. Every gift that eases tuition costs opens doors for students who might otherwise not have the opportunity to experience a St. Thomas education. Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, more students each year are able to discern their vocations and develop into the ethical leaders our world needs. This spirit of generosity is fueling exciting progress across all academic areas. The Morrison Family College of Health is expanding its undergraduate and professional programming to meet the growing demand for compassionate healthcare professionals. A bold and vigorous commitment to the arts, rooted in St. Thomas Aquinas’s understanding of beauty and truth, creates new opportunities for students and faculty that enrich our liberal arts tradition. And across disciplines, philanthropic investment helps us attract talented faculty who create educational opportunities where students thrive. The transformation of our south campus, including our new Schoenecker Center and Lee & Penny Anderson Arena, is a visible testament to what we can accomplish together. These spaces are already bringing our community together in new ways – fostering relationships, inspiring pride in St. Thomas, and demonstrating the vision that will shape St. Thomas for generations to come. Every gift, of any size, moves us closer to our shared aspirations. Whether through annual support, giving to an endowment, legacy giving through a will or trust, or participation in Tommie Give Day, your generosity matters and makes a difference.
Thank you for believing in St. Thomas and for joining us on this journey.
