Photos: All-College Seminar, Fall 2016

One Friday evening each semester, groups of about 20 Thomas Aquinas College students from all classes — seniors and freshmen, sophomores and juniors — gather in classrooms across the campus for the All-College Seminar. Although separate, these groups engage in a single, common activity, namely, reading, analyzing, and discussing the same text, one that is not part of the College’s ordinary curriculum. Two members of the teaching faculty lead each of the discussions, which are followed by a party in St. Joseph’s Commons.

This year, preparations for this semi-annual event began Thursday, when students met up in the campus coffee shop to assemble pizzas for the post-seminar party:

Then, on Friday night, students, tutors, and chaplains met in classrooms to discuss Sigrid Undset’s Gunnar’s Daughter. Photographs from the seminar and the party are available in the slideshow below:
