Peter V. Sampo
Peter V. Sampo (1931– May 27, 2020) was an educator and college president, who founded three colleges, two of which have since closed. He founded Magdalen College (1974–2024), Cardinal Newman College (1974–1985), as well as Thomas More College of Liberal Arts in 1978.
At least two of the colleges, of which he also served as the first president, were Catholic liberal arts colleges with curricula built on Great Books of Western culture.
