Boards of Regents

In 2004, to bolster fundraising and relations between Thomas Aquinas College and the local community, the College established its original Board of Regents for the greater Los Angeles Area. Building on the success of the original board, in 2012 the College established a second Board of Regents to serve Northern California. Both boards consist of dynamic, local leaders committed to the College’s mission of Catholic liberal education. The boards’ members serve as goodwill ambassadors, helping to introduce and promote the College to new friends throughout their regions.

“We don’t come here for four years merely to learn a bunch of facts, but to learn how to think more clearly, which is an education for a lifetime.”

“I am deeply touched by the quality of the intellectual and spiritual formation that you offer. The study of philosophy should lead to a conviction that truth can be known, articulated, and defended. Your college shows that this is possible, and on a high level!”

– Rev. Wojciech Giertych, O.P.

Theologian of the Papal Household
