I know what it's like to walk across the quad at St. Thomas, greeted by friends and professors who know my name and make me feel valued. I attended classes that ignited my passion for (insert profession/service). I want other students to have access to this environment where they will build a community that supports them on campus and beyond the Arches.

Right now, St. Thomas is rallying to support access to this transformational education. Let's help lighten the financial burdens for current and future Tommies and open more doors to opportunities by making a gift to St. Thomas. I'm giving on Tommie Give Day. Please join me!
