More career preparation…
My days at Thomas More enlightened and prepared me for the business world ahead. The Computer Information Systems and Business Administration degrees that I earned prepared me in more ways than I could have ever imagined. I know I have thrived as a result of the knowledge I gained at Thomas More.

More for the price of tuition…
Thomas More has given me all the tools I need to be successful and reach my full potential. The faculty and staff are always providing opportunities to grow and get involved. I loved my time at (Thomas More University), I am so grateful that I got to spend my four years here!
Mckenna Clark ’21
More Integrity…
I started reading about different schools and one line in Thomas More’s mission statement, talks about integrity; that this is the school that they live by. They teach it [integrity], all of that and I’m like that’s where I want to go. So I called, made an appointment, and five years later here I am working on my master’s.

Collaborative research opportunities…
Getting undergraduate students involved is the most important aspect of research at Thomas More. The research is exciting but the best part of any project is having the opportunity to collaborate with our talented and dedicated students.
William (Bill) Wetzel, Ph.D.
More critical thinking…
The rigorous liberal arts curriculum has served me well in my career and everyday life. Most importantly, I learned to be a critical thinker. The caring faculty and staff inspired me to expand my world view and to challenge preconceived ideas. At Thomas More I learned that to live is to adapt and grow. The liberal arts provide the means and the skills to make that growth happen.

Grow and discover…
Brianna shared this during her commencement address, “Thomas More has been a wonderful place to grow my ability, discover my identity, and meet the people I call my closest friend. … Not only did we persevere through the demands of pursuing higher education but we also advocate for minorities, feed the hungry, and participate in cleaning up our environment. We thrived even through the COVID 19 pandemic and now we stand here today celebrating our accomplishments.”
Brianna Hoegermeyer ’22
More options to fit your lifestyle…
My experience at Thomas More began in 1979 when I worked at The Community Bank in Erlanger and realized that in order to reach my career goals, I needed to further my education. In addition to my family responsibilities, I worked full time and was an active volunteer in the community. I am grateful to Thomas More for offering programs to adult non-conventional students such as myself. As a result of my positive experience, I continue to be an advocate for Thomas More.

More than a college…
Thomas More felt different than other colleges. There was a warm feeling that I got from it that brought comfort. Thomas More is so much more than a university; it is a home to me.
Seth Sherman ’22
More personal attention…
One of my favorite things about this school is the relationships I’m able to cultivate with my professors. Majoring in biology has proven to be difficult, but because of my great professors and the help they offer, I’ve been able to understand the content and succeed. While college can be stressful, it’s always been beneficial to know that there is help–through the tutoring centers or the office hours with professors.

Degree symbolizes excellence…
Being in an environment [Brighton Center] where I’m putting my degree to good work and giving back to my community is something really special for me.
Henry Driscoll ’23
A faculty that believes in you…
When I was starting my college search, I wasn’t sure if I would be successful at the college level. When I visited Thomas More, I was welcomed by the faculty and admissions staff, and they encouraged and made me feel that they believed in me. Since then, I have continued to have support and encouragement from the faculty and staff and am excited to see where my Thomas More education will lead me.
Emma Zink ’23
More self-discovery…
My time here has been life changing. It’s fueled my road to self-discovery and pushed me to new experiences and limits. After my first year here, I’ve found an amazing friend group with an array of personalities. In addition to this, I’ve begun to form my own thoughts and opinions about the world around me. With the wide range of disciplines offered here at Thomas More, I feel as if I’m growing as a person rather than just academically. My peers and mentors are helping me become the best I can possibly be.
David Moore ’24
Small by choice…
We (Thomas More University) are small in size, there is no doubt about that, but the projects we can pull off with our undergraduate students are unmatched!
Jyoti Saraswat, Ph.D.
More personal transformation…
A college education isn’t supposed to be a hoop to jump through or a box to check in order to get a good job. Education is a transformative endeavor, not a transactional exchange. It is a community, not a commodity.
Joe Chillo, L.P.D.
Motivated to grow…
Max prayed these words during his Commencement Invocation, “Through the Holy Spirit, our hard work and discipline has been multiplied. We pray for the motivation to continue growing in our discipline, to grow closer to You (God). Bless us graduates as we pursue Your will in unexpected ways.”
Maximillian (Max) Hennessey ’22
More championship games…
Tomas said about winning a Rugby national championship, “I didn’t know if it was going to happen, but I definitely wanted that and I worked for that so it made that moment really emotional with my family and with Matias and Hudson because the three of us worked really hard to try to get a chance like that. And to see you put in a lot of hard work and when you get it, it’s a really emotional and a really happy moment.”
Tomas Casares ’22
Be the light of truth…
Thomas More was a very welcoming community, very friendly. That personal connection with professors, staff, and students was great for my field of study.
Sophia Hermosilla ’24
A Lasting Legacy…
Forty years ago, Thomas More was a special place and today it remains a special place. It remains a special place because of the people walking the halls of this University daily. The passion and dedication of the professors for the students that they serve can be felt throughout these hallowed halls.
Garren Colvin ’86
More than a number…
I knew that when I went back to school (as an adult learner), that I needed to be a student and not a number. As soon as I walked into this building, after the first class, I felt that I was capable of doing this.
