鈥淚鈥檓 delighted that members of our campus community as well as our surrounding community will have an opportunity to learn more about these three incredibly influential Dominican Saints,鈥� said ODU鈥檚 Vice President for Mission and Identity Sr. Diane Traffas, OP. 鈥淭hese presentations are important because they help to explain the ways in which St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Catherine of Siena not only impacted individuals hundreds of years ago, but how their work continues to touch lives to this day. I鈥檓 grateful to the Dominican Sisters of Peace who will present on these three incredible individuals, and I look forward to bringing students, faculty, staff and the general public together for this annual tradition at Ohio Dominican University鈥�
