This program is meant to invoke dialogue and even debate, recognizing the value of critical thinking and healthy tension. The value of a Catholic, liberal arts education is to learn to engage, to think critically and creatively, to dialogue well, and to do so from a place of compassion and respect, rooted in love for one another and a desire to be agents of positive change in our world.
