Join us on Wednesdays during this year’s Summer Programs to enjoy conversations with members of our summer faculty. The professors and topics are different each week, so there’s always something new to explore. 

Topic 

This week, Ross Hastings and Denis Alexander will discuss ideas and perspectives related to the intersection of science and theology.

Join us at noon in Room 100, and feel free to bring your lunch.
