Upcoming Events

Join us for talks that illuminate the complexities and trade-offs of moral decision-making, the richness of faith and culture and the challenges and joy inherent in the pursuit of intellectual discovery. All lectures are free and open to the public.

Following the principle that faith and learning are partners in liberal education, the McFarland Center's programs foster dialogue that respects differences and provide a forum for intellectual exchange that is interreligious as well as interdisciplinary, intercultural, and international in scope.
