This year the Thomas More Institute is celebrating its 70th
Anniversary of providing university-level study opportunities
to a broad and diverse community of lifelong learners. In this
prospectus, you will discover a rich and varied program of
offerings to stimulate and delight the inquisitive and curious
mind. As has been the Thomas More tradition, learners can
participate simply for the joy and pleasure of learning or for
credit towards a Bachelor of Arts degree.
Walter Duszara
The Thomas More Institute offers a unique learning environ-
ment that engages learners in discourse and dialogue through
readings of carefully chosen texts under the guidance of Left to right: Renovation architect Samantha Hayes, General
experienced and dedicated leaders. Learners of all ages are contractor Richard Dufour, and former TMI President Ron Domachevsky
welcome. You can come to the Institute and enjoy its newly
renovated and handicap accessible premises as well as its
modern facilities and technical resources. Or the Institute can
come to you through its community outreach program.
On June 17 of this year, the Thomas More Institute unveiled a
plaque in recognition of the contributions of its many donors
towards the renovation of its premises. The Institute’s Board of
Directors took advantage of that occasion, as well, to intro-
duce me as its new President and welcome me to the Thomas Left to right: Chair
More community. I take this opportunity to thank the Board Andrew Byers unveiling
for their expression of confidence and look forward to working the plaque
with the Thomas More community, as well as with local cul-
tural and educational institutions and community groups, to
chart a future course for the Institute that responds to actual
and emerging needs and contributes to individual growth and
to community vitality.
