PPE at USD

In a year that marks the 250th anniversary of America's founding document, 15 undergraduates from five Southern California universities spent a Saturday in deep conversation about the ideas that shaped a nation — and continue to challenge it.

The University of San Diego's Center for Ethics, Economics, and Public Policy hosted its 6th Annual SoCal Undergraduate PPE Colloquium on February 28, bringing together students from Claremont McKenna College, Pomona College, Chapman University, UC San Diego and USD for a day of seminar-style discussion built around a single theme: the Declaration of Independence.
