Al and Mary Agnes McQuinn
Meet Al and Mary Agnes McQuinn. Their generosity supports national television showings each year of St. Thomas’ Christmas concert. We’re grateful for their commitment to our students!
Arts and Innovation
St. Thomas is positioned perfectly to address today’s complex problems. Through collaboration and hands-on learning opportunities, students are taking real-world problems within our community to gain the experience they need for their careers. The SOLV initiative, an in-house think tank championed by the College of Arts and Sciences, is one example of community partners working with St. Thomas students and faculty from across the university to access inter-disciplinary solutions.

Jade Whaley '22
The arts hold a special place in many of our students’ hearts, and our student performers are pursuing degrees in a variety of fields, from engineering to psychology. Jade Whaley ’22, a math major and statistics minor, aspires to be a middle school teacher. But she’s also a member of St. Thomas’ dance team.
St. Thomas was a dream college for Jade; her family couldn’t afford the expense. But she thought, “If this is for me, my dad will let me go.” When she received the Madden Family Chicago Endowed Scholarship, she said she knew, “God had my back.”
