Dear Dr. Eden,
I am Sister Mary Justin, a Nashville Dominican sister. In the capacity of
Vice President for Academic Affairs of Aquinas College, I am searching for
candidates to fill full-time faculty positions in our Business Program.
Since your institution offers a graduate degree in business, I wanted to
inquire if you have any graduates or alumnae whom you believe may be a good
fit as a faculty member at Aquinas, particularly one who may have
credentials and experience in the area of management.
Aquinas College is a small Catholic college in Nashville, Tennessee owned
and operated by my religious community, the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia
Congregation. Thorough and prayerful study of Ex Corde Ecclesiae has led me
to broaden our search for these positions in an effort to find individuals
who are supportive and knowledgeable of the Church's teachings.
We believe that the areas our small college focuses on (education, nursing,
business and liberal arts) are essential for preparing young men and women
to make a critical impact on today's world. In order to do this, we are
hoping to find individuals who have a similar goal in the manner they
approach teaching.
If you cannot think of any graduates for this position, can you recommend
means of getting word out regarding websites, listservs, etc? I am
attaching a document that can be used to circulate this information. If you
know of potential candidates or have a suggestion for spreading this word, I
would be most pleased to speak with you.
We truly hope to fulfill the Holy Father's call to "offer education in a
faith-context that forms men and women capable of rational and critical
judgment and conscious of the transcendent dignity of the human person" and
"professional training that incorporates ethical values and a sense of
service to individuals and to society" (ECE, #49).
Our time frame for filling these positions is shortening, yet I trust that
our concerted efforts and the support of others to help disseminate our
information will reach the candidates the Lord may call to Aquinas College.
Sincerely in Christ,
Sister Mary Justin

About Aquinas College
Aquinas College, a small Catholic institution located on a beautiful 92-acre
campus in west Nashville, was founded in 1961 by the Dominican Sisters of
St. Cecilia ("Nashville Dominicans"). The Dominican Sisters have more than
140 years of experience providing education in a value-centered, Christian
learning environment permeated with faith.
At Aquinas College, liberal arts are at the heart of all of our programs of
study. In addition to studies in Liberal Arts, we have concentrated our
professional degree programs on three areas in which we believe our students
can make a tremendous impact on today's culture: business, education, and
nursing. Encouraged by the Church's message to colleges and universities,
Ex Corde Ecclesiae, Aquinas desires "to determine the relative place and
meaning of each of the various disciplines within the context of a vision of
the human person and the world that is enlightened by the Gospel, and
therefore by a faith in Christ, the Logos, as the centre of creation and
human history" ( ECE #16). Thus, we consider it important that candidates
be committed to the Catholic moral tradition. Catholic applicants are
preferred, but all applicants are expected to uphold this moral tradition
and the Mission of Aquinas College.
Business Positions
Aquinas College is currently accepting applications for full-time faculty
positions for the Bachelor of Business Administration Degree, a young
program that seeks to fulfill the challenge of Ex Corde Ecclesiae by
'providing an education in a faith context that forms men and women capable
of rational and critical judgment and conscious of the transcendent dignity
of the human person with professional training that incorporates ethical
values and a sense of service to individuals and to society' (ECE #49).
Requirements: Applicants must be doctorally prepared in business or a
related field and have significant coursework in management. Those who are
currently in pursuit of doctoral studies may be considered. Teaching
experience is preferred.
Interested candidates should submit the following: 1) resume, 2) cover
letter outlining specific qualifications for the position, teaching
philosophy, teaching experience and specific interest in Aquinas College, 3)
unofficial transcripts of graduate coursework, and 4) name and contact
information for three references.
