Fellows and Tutors of the College

Academic Fellowship

The Fellows of the College are its principal asset.  They are representatives of a community founded by Plato and Aristotle, reformed by St. Basil and Newman, which extends in time to the Fellows of the College of Saint Thomas More.  It is the privilege of the Fellows to represent to the best of their abilities all those great and true insights to which our present is heir, to nurture, explore, and develop these through teaching and writing.  Not all the Fellows, Visiting Fellows, and Scholar Associates of the College serve as Tutors every semester, but every member of the Academic Fellowship of the College is important in forming and representing the College curriculum in the liberal arts.

The College curriculum is formed by the disciplines, each of which is characterized by a way of knowing and a literature that is distinctively its own.
