Gerald Warren

B.A. Philosophy/Political Science 1993
M.L.A. Philosophy 1996

My name is Gerald Warren, and I am a proud graduate of the University of St. Thomas. I highly recommend UST to those who seek a quality liberal arts education. The type of education that most universities offer only to their honor students, we offer to all of our students.

The University of St. Thomas, an intimate campus community nestled in the Museum District and just minutes from the Medical Center and downtown Houston, offers our undergraduates that "home away from home" feeling.

I look forward to showing you around our campus.

Arthur Ortiz

The University of St. Thomas is a great institution committed to providing a complete educational experience for its students. UST embraces the type of classical education I believe in. I strongly believe UST's challenging academics and commitment to the core curriculum embraces the notion of what it means to be an educated college graduate. I also work with home schoolers and their parents by assisting them through the admissions process. Contact me to schedule a visit to our campus.

Shannon Wilson

My name is Shannon Wilson, and I spent four years in the Air Force and received the Air Force Commendation Medal, National Defense Service Medal and the Air Force Outstanding Unit Award with Valor.

I have always had a great passion for the military and higher education. I feel fortunate to have found a career that allows me to combine the two most important things to me.

At St. Thomas, I am responsible for increasing the student enrollment of veterans and their family members and graduate students through focused recruitment and a vigorous student support program.

Where else but family can you discover who you are, what you share in common and appreciate the differences...so...come shine!

UST is truly a great place and I look forward to helping you determine if it's the best fit for you! If you have any questions or would like to schedule a campus visit, please contact me.

My name is Monica Lopez, and I'm a Freshman Admissions Counselor. Choosing a college can be a very difficult decision, and I look forward to helping you through every step of the process.

Houston is a place where you can foster your academic endeavors in a city that many Fortune 500 companies call home. It is also a place where you can find historic mansions, including the former childhood home of Howard Hughes that houses the UST theology department.

We're like family at UST. As family, our community embraces every student's culture and faith that provides them with a unique academic opportunity to transform their minds as well as their hearts.

UST has an ethnically and religiously diverse population. UST students from all over the world are enriched by a core curriculum that creates a collaborative dialogue between faith and reason. This liberal arts education gives you a global perspective that provides an excellent foundation in many professions.

I'm here to help you. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a campus visit, please contact me.
