The President’s Lecture Series at Assumption is a public forum in which important ethical, spiritual, and human issues are illuminated and examined within the Catholic intellectual tradition.
The heart of a classical liberal arts education is an ongoing conversation across disciplines. By ensuring that the sharpest minds, representing diverse viewpoints and areas of study, are a part of this dialogue, Assumption reaffirms – and bolsters – its commitment to providing students with an education that goes beyond the mere memorization of facts and acquisition of skills and empowers them to continue the discussion. All lectures in the series are open to the Assumption community and the general public at no charge.
During the 2017–2018 academic year, Assumption welcomed the following speakers:
