The Institute's Distinguished Lecture Series has the purpose of bringing the Catholic intellectual tradition into the public university environment through speakers who are known for their academic accomplishments. The speakers will not all be Catholic, but the topics which they present will reflect authentic Catholic thought. The talks are intended to expose the public university students and faculty to Catholic thought in order to develop a greater appreciation of its rich tradition and to encourage discussion about the place for this thought in the public university classroom.
