As it continues the \u201cconfident renewal of its Catholic identity,\u201d the University of St. Thomas<\/a> in Houston announced the appointment of influential Catholic leaders to its board of directors this week.<\/p>\n

Among the new board members are R.R. \u201cRusty\u201d Reno, editor of First Things; Adam Laxalt, the former attorney general of Nevada; and Mary Eberstadt, writer and senior research fellow at the Faith and Reason Institute in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Reno told EWTN News he would like to see the school become a leader on the American Catholic academic scene.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a Thomistic institute,\u201d said Reno, a former theology professor, \u201cand there\u2019s a unique opportunity to put forward the Thomistic tradition in the context of American Catholic higher education in an intellectually strong and robust way.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new members join the university board as the school \u201cis poised to take its place among the leading Catholic institutions in our country,\u201d school President Sinda Vanderpool said in a press release April 28.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe university\u2019s governance now draws upon voices who have shaped national conversations in faith, culture, law, and public life,\u201d said board chairman Craig Jarchow in the press release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe live in a time when the academic culture, which is secular and progressive, exerts tremendous influence over the formation of young people,\u201d Reno said. \u201cA Catholic university requires a very clear and explicit mission to avoid drifting and becoming like any other university with a chapel. You don\u2019t want that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eberstadt told EWTN News \u201cthe fact that UST has this enthusiastic, unapologetically Catholic leadership\u201c is \u201dwhat drew me to the school.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAgainst the backdrop of secularization, and all the things that we know are wrong in the West,\u201d the writer said she is seeing what she calls \u201cthe next American awakening.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seeing \u201cnew forms of fellowship and outreach, Catholic and Protestant alike, including on campuses where there had never been such things before,\u201d is exciting, she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is clear that something is stirring, and so when I saw this in action at UST, I wanted to be a part of it and not just to keep telling people this was out there, but to participate in building it.\u201d<\/p>\n

The school is now \u201cthe Catholic \u2018room where it happens,\u2019\u201d Eberstadt said.<\/p>\n

Laxalt, a former naval officer and Iraq veteran, agreed, telling EWTN News that there is “an orthodox Catholic revival going on in the U.S. and our youth are seeking more depth and formation in their education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the things I have most cherished, both in and out of public service, is mentoring young people,\u201d he said. \u201cI am honored to support UST in grounding students in the Catholic intellectual tradition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eberstadt said she hopes that as a board member, she can help \u201cenhance the social lives of the students because I know from my research, and we all know after COVID, there\u02bcs been a real collapse of socializing, in Gen Z especially.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she hopes this will build \u201ccommunity that will be part of their battle armor that they will take into their lives after they leave the university, so they will be grounded in a spiritual network and a network of fellowship.\u201d<\/p>\n

Practically, she said she would like to see the university add square dances to its cultural repertoire. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s very small \u2018d\u2019 democratic,\u201d she laughed. \u201cYou have to dance with everybody, you don\u2019t have to have a partner, and it has the spiritual dimension of bringing students together who would otherwise be looking at their phones.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the fact that it\u2019s an American pastime \u2026 It\u2019s an American thing, perfect for the 250th anniversary of our country,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Other new board members include philanthropist Charlene Brandau, attorney and UST alumnus Habeeb \u201cHobbs\u201d Gnaim, energy executive David Preng, and retired Southwestern Energy Company CEO Bill Way.<\/p>\n

The University of St. Thomas is a comprehensive Catholic university offering programs in the traditional liberal arts, professional, and skilled-based disciplines.<\/p>\n

It ranks as the second-largest institution by enrollment among colleges and universities listed in the Newman Guide, published by the Cardinal Newman Society, which recognizes institutions committed to the Church\u2019s principles of education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
