President Ken Daly

This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Their courage, selflessness, and unwavering dedication serves as a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of our nation.

Seeing the Class of 2026 cross the Commencement stage last week was an unforgettable moment for our College community. Congratulations, graduates. Carry the Spartan Torch proudly! Read more: stac.edu/2026Grad

Happy Mother's Day from Laurie Daly: "Thank you for the love, encouragement, and strength you provide each day. The support you give, the care you share, and the example you set every day are making a profound difference in the lives of your families … and our students."

As we celebrate Easter and Passover, we are reminded of the importance of renewal, hope, and service. Through initiatives like our Spartan Spirit Community Service Day and AFSP Campus Walk, we continue to lead with compassion. Wishing you a blessed Easter and a peaceful Passover.

Happy 60th Birthday, @PresidentKDaly! Your leadership has shaped not only our College, but our dynamic Spartan community. From classrooms to campus traditions, your impact is felt in every Spartan story.

As we reflect, we fondly remember the seminal visit to our campus by his son, Martin Luther King III. His presence and message left a lasting impression on our students, reinforcing their sense of purpose and the power of education.

In honoring Dr. King’s legacy, we remember the principles he stood for — lifting up one another, expanding access to opportunity, and strengthening our communities through meaningful service.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. — a leader whose vision and courage continues to inspire generations.

This investment allows us to supplement our in-person learning environment with innovative, future-ready academic programs, further preparing our students to lead in the careers ahead. Read more at stac.edu/Rize

Excited to announce that St. Thomas Aquinas College has received a grant from Google.org through our expanded partnership with Rize Education — a significant milestone that accelerates our transformation.

Merry Christmas! As we celebrate our students—our shining stars—STAC is humbled to welcome Bishop Ronald Hicks, the new Archbishop-elect of the Archdiocese of NY as appointed by Pope Leo XIV. During this special holiday, we are grateful to all who help us serve our shining stars.

As our students enjoy a well-deserved Holiday break before the December homestretch, we wish you and your family a Happy Thanksgiving!

From hosting a Pajama & Book Drive for children in need … participating in a Midnight Run and assisting at a Breadline & Food Pantry … to volunteering with local organizations, our Spartans have given back to our local community this semester and truly made an impact.

Thanksgiving is a special time of year here at the College — we are grateful to our students for living our College's Mission and making a profound difference in the world.

We look forward to hosting our annual Lunch with a Veteran on 11/18 in the Dining Hall. Register to join us at stac.edu/veteran. To all Veterans who have served with courage and honor — especially our Board Chair Dom D’Adamo, employees, alumni, and students — we thank you.

Our STAC community proudly salutes the brave men and women who have selflessly served to protect our country. For the third consecutive year, the College is displaying 50 American flags along both sides of our Route 340 campus entrance in honor of our Veterans and their service.

Nights like this remind me what real leadership looks like…creating space for honest conversation and pathways to hope. Thanks for having me, St. Thomas Aquinas College. And Ken, thank you (and Thomas and Kevin!) for the rare gift of trust and quality time. See you again soon 🙏🏽
