The University of St. Thomas in Houston shared a profile on a radio show by Dr. Dominic Aquila, professor of history. 

The radio show is called “Think on These Things,” and premiered on Oct. 19. 

The show will highlight topics that are thought provoking and endeavors to build the faith of its listeners, as well as to edify their personal lives as Catholics, in areas of Catholic education, religious life, the arts and more. 

“In these times of persistent distraction and crude entertainments, St. Paul’s teaching on what things ought to occupy the mind of a Christian is particularly important. ‘Pray always,’ he says. Yes. But what else? In his letter to the Christian community at Philippi, he wrote: ‘Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things,’” Aquila said. 

Aquila has been in radio before and has a deep love for interviewing interesting individuals. 

The show is scheduled to air on the Radio Maria network on Mondays at 11 a.m. The show can also be accessed online. 

On Oct. 26, Aquila interviewed Dr. George Harne, executive dean of School of Arts & Sciences, on the topic of Catholic liberal arts education at the University of St. Thomas and the role it plays in life and career of the individuals who pursue it. 

Dr. Dominic Aquila serves as a professor and director of Assessment & Institutional Effectiveness and has over 30 years of experience in both the public and private higher education realms. 

He has researched music and culture, as well as higher education administration, American history and European history.
