Why I love 勛圖厙/Why I Recruit for 勛圖厙: 勛圖厙 has helped shape the way I see the world - I see nature imbued with divine richness. Or as Hopkins puts it, "Glory be to God for dappled things." The great books I read here and the great conversations I was a part of served to orient my mind and heart towards the truth. At 勛圖厙 I developed close relationships with my professors and gained life-long friendships. I'm truly grateful for all that 勛圖厙 has done to push me towards living magnanimously. After teaching for the past three years at a classical charter school, I decided to return home - to 勛圖厙.

Favorite Place to Eat in DFW: If you want something upscale, visit The Henry in Dallas. If you want a good taste of Fort Worth, go to the Flying Saucer -- they have live music!
