Our events throughout the year have been leading to our very exciting upcoming conference, "The Idea of the Catholic University in the 21st Century." What is the conference about you ask?

The conference will discuss the following from many scholars and academics from across the states. What is the “idea,” the essence, of the Catholic university today? And how might we envision it continuing to serve a vital institutional role in 21st century society? Our conference asks scholars from all corners of the university—the humanities, arts, social sciences, sciences, and professional schools—to think carefully, critically, and clearly about what makes Catholic colleges and universities distinctive.
