“Gain perspective”
• It has universal applicability both within and beyond Canada because it speaks, first and foremost, to the inherent promise of the liberal education St. Thomas University delivers.– For the U.S. and other international markets, this signature also speaks
directly to the advantage of study outside one’s home country.– In Canada, it speaks directly to the advantage of studying in a place
“away.”– In New Brunswick, it works to describe a compelling alternative to UNB and
others. • It is not an empty claim of institutional superiority; rather, it is
a reminder of what’s important and necessary to a well-educated and effective life; it also asserts the real benefit of a STU education.
• This Signature will serve to support outreach to all constituencies of the University, including the alumni, by reminding them of the real value of what they received at STU. Its promotional power is derived from a recognizable truth about the institution; it is not hype.
21
Key Messages
• STU is an extraordinary value. • STU offers a classical education, at once timeless and
relevant.• STU provides a balanced and unhurried environment in
which to strengthen the intellect and define the self. • STU is home to great books, great ideas, and great
teachers. • STU is a community of mutual respect, understanding,
and trust.
