The Secret to Saving a School in Decline | David A. Armstrong
About this episode
On this episode of Anchored, Jeremy is joined by David A. Armstrong, president of St. Thomas Univeristy in Miami, Florida. The two talk about the university’s origins in communist Cuba, and Armstrong’s own story that led to his commitment to Catholic education. They discuss how, amid an era of colleges closing, St. Thomas has seen record-high enrollment levels, and the secret to turnaround for schools facing decline. They close by talking about the effect of wokeism on the collegiate landscape and the future of St. Thomas as it is committed to maintaining a diverse, Catholic campus.
