On Friday nights throughout the 2015-16 academic year, the students of Thomas Aquinas College will have the privilege of attending lectures from some of the nation’s most distinguished scholars — covering a wide range of topics from friendship to literature to Thomistic theology — through the St. Vincent de Paul Lecture and Concert Series.
