Dear Friends of Aquinas, I am pleased to present the 2012 – 2013 Annual Report. There are great things happening at Aquinas College, and we want you to know that we are growing and moving in a positive direction. We welcomed 530 new students to campus this fall, and our incoming freshmen class presents a strong academic profile, holding an average 3.5 GPA and 24 ACT score. We are poised to begin construction on the Alksnis Athletics & Recreation Building and a new residence facility that will be patterned after our popular apartments that house upperclassmen. The positive energy generated by our students and the new construction is palpable. We are grateful for the significant role you play in helping our Aquinas students achieve their academic goals and in strengthening our status as an exceptional Catholic liberal arts college. We rely on the commitment of our friends and alumni to provide financial support for scholarships, the Aquinas Fund and capital projects. Thank you for your continued dedication to the mission of Aquinas College. Together, we can make all the difference in the world. Sincerely,
Juan R.Olivarez, PhD 3
