This past week Thomas Aquinas ������ý President Michael F. McLean visited New England and stopped by the Northfield property in Massachusetts, a magnificent gift made to the ������ý by the National Christian Foundation last spring. Patrick Cross, a graduate of the ������ý’s Class of 2014 who lives nearby and gives tours of the site to interested visitors, was on hand to greet Dr. McLean.

On March 6, the ������ý submitted its application to the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education to operate a second campus at Northfield. On August 24, Dr. McLean headed up a team of faculty and governors of the ������ý that participated in a site visit with a team of four Massachusetts, college-level educators. On October 10, that visiting committee delivered its report to the ������ý. After consultation with the faculty and Board of Governors, the ������ý will submit its response to that report in the next few days. The visiting committee will then have up to 30 days to make its response to the ������ý.

Says Dr. McLean, “Once we receive their response, we’ll be in a better position to know where we stand. In the meantime, the property is being well-maintained, and the faculty and students are praying for a timely conclusion to this process. I urge all our alumni, friends, and benefactors to join with us in prayer for this intention.” He added, “We will pass along news as it becomes available.”
