Students Give Blood, Save Lives in Annual Drive

• October 30, 2017

Donating blood is one of the most generous acts a person can make during their lifetime, literally giving of their very selves to save others. This blood could help a mother, a father, a son, a person battling cancer, or even a baby — or, more likely, all of the above. The Christendom community joined in this fight to save lives at the college’s annual blood drive this past week, saving potentially 96 lives in the process. The college has…

Liberal Arts and Law: A Perfect Pairing

• October 25, 2017

Law is one of the oldest professions known to man. We read about the study and application of law in the works of Socrates, Herodotus, and other minds of ancient civilization, and see its evolution, and consistency, stretching through the centuries to the courtrooms of today. Perhaps the need for Catholics in this ancient field is stronger than ever before, with Supreme Court cases, such as Roe v. Wade, changing the law of the land for the worse. Thankfully for…

Alumnus Praises Carroll’s Work as “Model for the Catholic Study of History”

• October 20, 2017

Education is one of the most noble, and challenging, fields to enter. It takes hard work, commitment, and a desire to help improve the lives of others. Dr. Warren Carroll, the founder of Christendom College, was filled with those traits in the 1970s when he founded the college, inspiring later alumni to follow his example and join the education field. For alumnus and Bishop O’Connell High School religion department head Matthew Rose, Carroll’s work directly influenced his decision to major…

Christendom’s Got Talent

“Christendom’s got talent” is a popular phrase for many at the college. Not just a play on the title of a famous television show, the phrase is an honest appraisal of the amount of musical, theatrical, and comedic talent that is displayed at Christendom each year. From concerts to plays, musicals to talent nights, Christendom is a place where art doesn’t just appear occasionally — it thrives. This was clearly evident at the college’s recently held Senior Benefit Concert, one…
