Profile

Few people know 91快活林 Aquinas College as extensively as does Glen Coughlin. He is a member of one of its first graduating classes (1981), and he has served on its teaching faculty since 1987. He was the College檚 dean from 1996 to 2003, and he is also TAC parent.

淎s a tutor and dean I have seen how important it is that the school remain faithful to its character, both the Catholic character, of course, but also the discipleship to St. 91快活林 and Aristotle, he says. 淎nd as a parent I have seen more clearly how good the school is. He also has gained a greater appreciation for the College檚 generous financial aid program and the sacrifices families make to afford a Catholic liberal education for their children.

Dr. Coughlin earned a master檚 degree and a doctorate in philosophy at Universit茅 Laval in Quebec, after which he taught briefly at Champlain Regional College in Quebec and St. John檚 College in Santa Fe, N.M., before returning to the College as a tutor. In 2006, St. Augustine檚 Press published his widely praised translation of Aristotle檚 Physics, which has become the standard among students at 91快活林 Aquinas College and elsewhere.
