“The Cardinal Newman Society has had an enormous impact on Benedictine College… If you get a student outside the Midwest and ask them, ‘How’d you hear about Benedictine College?’—almost always they’ll say, ‘Well, you’re in the Newman Guide, and I wanted to go to a Newman Guide school.’”
-Steve Minnis (President of Benedictine College)
“The Newman Guide remains the gold standard for helping families and students who are looking to really find faithful Catholic education. Without that, I think a lot of people would be lost.”
-Mark Rohlena (Executive Vice President of Christendom College)
“Cardinal Newman Society helps us to avoid missional drift when we might not be aware of it. For example, they connected us with Alliance Defending Freedom to ensure our policies and handbooks clearly state our Catholic identity.”
-Fr. Kucer (President of Holy Apostles College and Seminary)
“Every year we have many students come to us who have come because of the Newman Guide. It’s a stamp of approval… they can be assured that it’s a faithful place for them.”
– Dr. William Thierfelder (President of Belmont Abbey College)
“The way I explain it is I always feel like [the Cardinal Newman Society has] got our back… helping us is just been a great blessing.”
– Fr. Dave Pivonka (President of Franciscan University of Steubenville)
“What I’ve needed from the start were well-formed students to help build a vibrant Catholic culture. They came… they built… and others built with them. It’s [The Newman Guide] has had an exponential effect. We’ve established deeper roots, and stronger moorings as a Catholic institution. In addition, we’ve built a stronger faculty. It’s astonishing and beautiful the way it has taken off.”
– Monsignor James Shea (President of University of Mary)
“The Newman Guide is… a seal of approval… they’re gonna find the kinds of students they want to study with, learn with, and live with.”
-Richard Ludwick (Past President of University of St. Thomas Houston)
“The Newman Guide has been essential… in creating a kind of network and coalition of people who would be interested in the education we offer.”
-William Fahey (President of The Thomas More College of Liberal Arts)
“We’ve seen an exponential growth in people that are visiting us primarily because you all have pointed them to us.”
-Tim Collins (President of Walsh University)
“We can raise millions of dollars… but ultimately we need students to come and attend. The Newman Guide helps students and parents understand what we’re all about.”
-Philip Brach (Vice President of College Relations at Belmont Abbey College)
