Mrs. McGreivey spent most of July “genre-fying” thou- sands of books to improve browsing for readers. The process involved exam- ining each book in the fiction section and determining which genre it best fit. Our new genres include realistic fic- tion , classics/historical fiction , sports, mystery, horror, survival , paranormal , science fiction/fantasy, romance/chick lit, and graphic novels. Each book is now shelved within its genre and has a color coded spine label to guide users. Our hope is that these bookstore-style categories will help readers more easily find titles they will love. All students and staff are invited to come on in and check it out. The Math Lab sure is busy during PGP! true mentor internships! This year True Mentors selected 15 high school students to participate in their teen intern- ship program. We are happy to announce that the following Redwings applied, were se- lected and were placed at internship sites: Caillou Rivera (TRUE Mentors) Demeara Davenport (Lucas Dental) Gabriel Pineiro (TBD) Tiffany Perez (TRUE Mentors) Branden Moreira (Keller Williams) Yesenia Aracenia (MIMI Yoga) The internship will run the length of the school calendar and each student intern will be paired with a mentor to work on a project for a local business. True Mentors is looking forward to working with our students. Congratulations True Mentor Interns! In Physical Education this week, students began their fitness testing exercises to obtain a baseline so students and teachers can track each student ’s achivements through the course of the year. According to a new study by the Norwegian School of Sports Sciences, people who spend eight hours a day sitting can benefit by just one hour of fitness a day. This activity can help reduce, or even eliminate one’s risk of death from heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

  • Life and Learning Xix
    LIFE AND LEARNING XIX PROCEEDINGS OF THE NINETEENTH UNIVERSITY FACULTY FOR LIFE CONFERENCE at THE UNIVERSITY OF ST. THOMAS SCHOOL OF LAW MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 2009 edited by Joseph W. Koterski, S.J. KOTERSKI LIFE AND LEARNING XIX UFL University Faculty for Life University Faculty for Life was founded in 1989 to promote research, dialogue, and publication among faculty members who respect the value of human life from its inception to natural death, and to provide academic support for the pro-life position. Respect for life is especially endangered by the current cultural forces seeking to legitimize such practices as abortion, infanticide, euthanasia, and physician-assisted suicide. These topics are controversial, but we believe that they are too important to be resolved by the shouting, the news-bites, and the slogans that often dominate popular presentation of these issues. Because we believe that the evidence is on our side, we would like to assure a hearing for these views in the academic community. The issues of abortion, infanticide, and euthanasia have many dimensions–political, social, legal, medical, biological, psychological, ethical, and religious. Accordingly, we hope to promote an inter-disciplinary forum in which such issues can be discussed among scholars. We believe that by talking with one another we may better understand the values we share and become better informed in our expression and defense of them. We are distressed that the media often portray those favoring the value of human life as mindless zealots acting out of sectarian bias. We hope that our presence will change that image. We also believe that academicians united on these issues can encourage others to speak out for human life in their own schools and communities.

    The Aquinas Review of Thomas Aquinas College Vol. 23, 2019–2020 ISSN 1076–8319 Editor Christopher Decaen Editorial Board Michael F. McLean John J. Goyette Kevin D. Kolbeck R. Glen Coughlin John Francis Nieto The Aquinas Review is published annually by the Office of the Dean, Thomas Aquinas College, Santa Paula, California; Michael F. McLean, President; John J. Goyette, Dean. Unsolicited articles, reasoned criticisms of articles, and letters are welcome. Correspondence should be addressed to: Editor, The Aquinas Review, 10,000 Ojai Road, Santa Paula, CA 93060. A subscription form follows the final article. ©2020 by Thomas Aquinas College. All rights reserved Editor’s Statement The autumn of 2020 will mark the beginning of the 50th year of the existence of Thomas Aquinas College, which is, and has been consistently, devoted to providing the beginnings of Catholic liberal education. As was stated in its founding document, “this college will explicitly define itself by the Christian Faith and the tradition of the Catholic Church. Thus theology will be both the governing principle of the whole school and that for the sake of which everything is studied.”1 Given its manifest success in this regard, the College founded The Aquinas Review in 1994 to “stimulate a continuing conversation with an every widening audience”2 about matters on which our students and faculty, the Church at large, and man as such can meditate, for the better- ment of our souls and—most of all—for the greater glory of God. Ronald P. McArthur, the founding president of Thomas Aquinas College and the founding editor of this journal, had hoped that one of the uses of this journal would be to publish not only original essays of intellectual depth, but also occasion- ally to put into circulation older essays of great worth that are underappreciated, difficult to obtain, or not available in English.

    The Sixty-Fourth Commencement Exercises Tuesday, May 18, 2021 2:00 PM at Palisades Credit Union Park President Daly’s Message to the Class of 2021 STAC Class of 2021: As my first-ever STAC graduating class, I would like to congratulate you on your graduation and thank you for the respect and resilience you have demonstrated this past year. While the history books will document the devastating COVID health and economic impacts that have continued into 2021, I will always remember how my first graduating class navigated these challenges and safeguarded the entire STAC community. I will also remember how, together, we launched our Center for Social Justice and began to listen and learn from one another in our commitment to ensure that all voices are heard and that we become part of the solution in the turbulent days ahead. As you now graduate, you immediately become my first-ever group of STAC alumni, so I look forward to supporting one another in our future journeys. Please know that my door is always open for career guidance ... grad school assistance ... alumni support ... or just to share stories and discuss how best to support one another and our future students. My ask of you is that you remain active and loyal to STAC and that you always proudly represent the College and carry the “Spartan Torch.” My offer to you is to share the secret to fulfillment in life: always be your best self and support one another. This mantra was embodied by Jackie Robinson, who said: “A life is only important in the impact it has on others.” I know you will be your best self ..

The letter has many inaccuracies and does not understand the process the City used, i.e., the emergency ordinance adopted by the City Council, however, it does threaten legal action against the City if you vote to remove and store the statue. Without commenting publicly on the merit or lack of merit of these claims, I want to suggest that there is a separate and independent basis for its removal and storage at this time-security and safety of the statue itself.

The intellectual tra- dition and moral teachings of the Catholic Church would infuse the life of the College, illuminating all learning as well as the community within which learning takes place. Just as the Faith would lie at the heart of Thomas Aquinas College, so too would a beautiful chapel stand at the head of its campus. From the time the College relocated in 1978 to its site near Santa Paula, plans were in place to build a glorious house of worship worthy of the building’s sacred purpose. Those plans were long deferred, however, due to financial limitations and the urgent need to establish basic campus essentials such as dining facilities, residence halls, and classrooms.
