Our STUwards
At St. Thomas University, our faculty—whom we proudly call STUwards—are more than educators. They are mentors, guides, and champions of your success. Rooted in a mission of values-based education, our STUwards are committed to helping students grow into ethical leaders prepared for both meaningful lives and impactful careers.
From the first day of class to graduation and beyond, STUwards bring a passion for learning, a dedication to service, and a deep investment in each student’s personal and academic journey. They don’t just teach—they lead by example.
