Jim Towey enjoys talking with the print and electronic media about issues concerning private education, particularly the importance of Catholic higher education and its role in preparing youth for a life of service to society, to their work, to their church and to their family. As a private Catholic college president who is a former White House Cabinet member and a former volunteer to Mother Teresa of Calcutta, he has unique insights on a variety of issues challenging higher education and society at large.
