Ryan Messmore became the fifth president of Magdalen College of the Liberal Arts (formerly Northeast Catholic College) in July 2021. Nestled in the mountains of New Hampshire, the small Catholic college features a Great Books program and is recommended by the Cardinal Newman Society and the Register’s annual college guide. Messmore previously served as the president of Australia’s Campion College and worked to promote liberal arts higher education in that country, where it is less familiar than in the United States and Britain. He holds a doctorate in theology from Oxford University, an MPhil from Cambridge University, a master’s in theology from Duke Divinity School, and a B.A. in public policy and religion from Duke University. He shared about his academic background and his hopes for his tenure via email on Aug. 2.
