One Friday evening night each semester, groups of about 20 Thomas Aquinas College students from all classes — seniors and freshmen, sophomores and juniors — gather in classrooms across both campuses for the semi-annual 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.
This past Sunday, the seniors of Thomas Aquinas College, California, welcomed the freshmen with a trip to the beach for a well-earned break after a busy first week of school.
