A mudslide that has shut down both lanes on Highway 150 between the College’s California campus and Santa Paula. Although the California Department of Transportation has begun preparations for clearing the roadway, officials do not expect to finish the work before sometime this summer. Therefore, if you will be traveling to campus from points south, please be sure to give yourself enough time to navigate the detour route, which will take you along Highways 126, 101, and 33.

Meet the Prefects: Meg Murphy (’22)
The article below is part of a series introducing students and their families to the prefects for the 2021 Great Books High Summer Program. To read the series in full as it published, visit the Summer Program Blog.
Rising senior Meg Murphy (CA’22) is thrilled to return to work her third straight High School Summer Program on the New England campus. Some of her favorite moments from last year’s program include late-night games and snacks in the women’s residence hall and conversations with students from across the country. She still recalls one discussion at the lunch table with Chaplain Rev. Greg Markey and some students about Genesis and Creation. “It was so interesting and so powerful,” she reminisces.
Meg believes firmly that students should make the most of the opportunity to make friends and relax during the program, but she also encourages them to dive wholeheartedly into the studies. “The program is full of excitement and adventure, but I attend Thomas Aquinas College because I love what we do here, namely, learn!” she says. “I challenge all the programmers to give themselves to the readings and the classes and to really think about why I, as well as my fellow students here, love the curriculum so much.”
Until July 25, Meg plans to work restoring Catholic churches near her home in Cheshire, Connecticut. She looks forward to attending several weddings as well as spending lots of time with her family before returning to California for her final year at the College!
