Friday's events continued with Traditio, as the College gathered together for a seminar and panel discussion on St. Thomas More's "A Godly Meditation."

The College observes Traditio days at marked times during the academic year. The lectures, seminars, and conversation of the Traditio sequence present to each student an opportunity to enter more deeply into the Catholic tradition.

President Walz also affirmed his dedication to the College’s essential mission and ethos, saying, “Against the currents of our time, we will stand steadfast in our commitment to an integrated Catholic liberal education on a truly personalized scale. We will stand steadfast in our commitment to true enlargement of the mind and the gentle cultivation of the heart. And we will stand steadfast in our commitment to truth, truth in all its Catholicity, all its universality, the truth in all that it demands of us as human beings and as Christian believers.”
