Join our College community as we kick of New Student Orientation for the Class of 2028 with Mass in the Abbey Church.

The entire college community, friends, and family are invited to attend the Class of 2025 Nurse Pinning Ceremony in the Abbey Church. At that time, student nurses will receive their nursing pins in recognition for their hard work and accomplishments throughout the last four years.

Join us on October 2nd at 6:00 p.m. for the next installment of the Institute's Bookmark Series, featuring authors Brody and Luke Mullins. They will be joined by Neil Levesque, the Institute’s executive director, to discuss their latest book, The Wolves of K Street: The Secret History of How Big Money Took Over Big Government (2024, Simon & Schuster). This book offers a comprehensive account of the growing influence of corporate power and lobbying in Washington over the past fifty years.

Through the stories of several prominent Washington lobbyists, the authors illustrate how corporations have gained significant control over public policy, often surpassing the influence of both the president and Congress. They also explore how well-meaning reforms have inadvertently strengthened the power and secrecy of corporate lobbyists, shifting the focus of lobbying from the halls of Congress to voters nationwide.

Books may be purchased in advance at your local bookseller or online. A book signing with the authors will follow the discussion. Free and open to the public.

We're excited to welcome our new students this January for the spring 2025 semester.
