Celebrating the Past. Building the Future.

At Commencement 2011, Aquinas College kicked off a year's worth of festivities celebrating its 125 years of Catholic Dominican post-secondary education in Michigan. The celebration of the College's 125th anniversary was highlighted by four signature events that shine a spotlight on the values that have guided the College throughout its history: prayer, study, service and community.

In addition to the signature events, there were smaller celebrations and memorials through the year. Special signage on campus called attention to the College's heritage, and scrolling historic photos on this website and the College's computer kiosks highlighted our rich past. In addition, a History of Aquinas College, written by English professor Gary Eberle, makes the story of Aquinas available in book form to alumni and friends of the College.
