John H. Garvey, J.D., President of The Catholic University of America |
John H. Garvey, J.D., was inaugurated yesterday as the 15th President of our alma mater, The Catholic University of America. He has very big shoes to fill and we wish him well.
Garvey's inaugural address, in which he reflects on Blessed John Henry Newman, suggests that he has thought seriously about not only the distinctively Catholic culture on the campus of America's pontifical university, but the importance of integrating virtue with the intellectual life and thus transforming and renewing the culture. His inaugural address is here, and the beautiful Mass and installation ceremonies can be seen in the video below.
