AMDG.  To flourish as a human being is to think well, love well, discern well, work well with others, and so much more.  Today, Magdalen College president Dr. Ryan Messmore joins Bonnie and Steven to discuss how Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts in Warner, New Hampshire, provides an atmosphere where every day is designed to shape young people to do just that.  Dr. Messmore describes the blend of new and old, fresh and classic, that guides students as they wrestle with the biggest ideas in the world.  The group also discusses the role of trust in education, the idea that community life is the most powerful mode of transforming education, and the telos of the human being.  As a bonus, listen in to find out which Kolbe teacher recently built a homemade Zamboni.
