VERITAS Awards to be presented on
Founders’ Day - Friday, September 21, 2018
This year, Founders’ Day will connect our Business and Leadership programs with the Dominican tradition of the College. The Business program has the highest enrollment of students, so we hope this day will deepen the integration of the Business and Leadership programs with the Dominican tradition of the College.
