On Tuesday November 15th, Tim Busch Spoke to undergraduate students, professors,
and faculty members about his life’s journey and what it means to be a Busch School Student.
Mr. Busch first emphasized the significance of what it means to be at the Catholic University of
America, and what it means to be part of the only Pontifical school in America. He observed that
in addition to the challenges of students generally, we, as students at CUA, must conduct
ourselves as good Catholics, Christians, and people of integrity. As Busch School students, we
focus on a curriculum focusing of the four Catholic Social Teaching principles, the Human Good;
the Common Good; Solidarity; and Subsidiarity. This is in addition to learning how to conduct
ourselves in the workforce and learning all of the component disciplines of a business,
regardless of our business major. That is how a businessperson should be focused and should be
portrayed.
Something particularly fascinating about Mr. Busch was that before being invited to
serve CUA he hadn’t been aware that there was a Pontifical school in America, that Catholic
University existed, nor that it is sought to establish a School of Business and Economics.
Previously, Mr. Busch had succeeded in establishing two Catholic schools in California. Due to
that success, he was asked to serve on the Board of Trustees at CUA. He was initially tentative
about joining the Board of Trustees, but, after becoming involved and deeply experiencing CUA,
he became a dedicated catalyst for the development and growth of the Business School. Today,
CUA’s Busch School of Business & Economics’ undergraduate program has become the largest
school on campus.
In addition to sharing his perspective on CUA’s Busch School, Mr. Busch took time to
discuss an important event in history, the 2016 presidential election, which had occurred the
week before. He noted that the election was one of the most controversial that our nation has
ever faced, and that people have reacted in very different ways. Mr. Busch expressed his view
that regardless of the outcome, America must strive to prosper as a nation, and must not get
caught up in unproductive debates about the merits of the candidates, despairing of the result,
or engaging in pointless and destructive protests and riots. His suggestion was that we should
encourage all parts of our government to work together to ensure that its future actions and
policies are in the best interests of the country, and that all citizens should, united, regardless of
our political opinions, work to do what’s best for the country.
