Thomas S. Monaghan, the founder of Domino’s Pizza, answered the call of Pope John Paul II by founding Ave Maria College in 1999 and thereafter Ave Maria University in 2003. Organizations reflect the charism of their founder. AMU is no different. Tom is a devout Catholic, successful businessman, education visionary, and patron of the arts. AMU is then uniquely positioned to answer John Paul II’s call to provide an education that “combines excellence in humanistic and cultural development with specialized professional training” (Ex Corde Ecclesiae), drawing from the charism of our founder. It’s in our DNA. The Institute is the next chapter in answering John Paul II’s call at Ave Maria University.
