The Ryan Center is hosting Professor Robert P. George and Professor Cornel West for a conversation on "The Values, Virtues, and Challenges of a Liberal Arts Education."

Professors George and West are longtime friends despite -- or perhaps because of -- deep disagreements about some of the most important questions of our day. Join us as George and West discuss free speech, civility, and disciplined inquiry as friends and colleagues committed to a pursuit of truth.

This event will be in the Villanova Room in the Connelly Center on Vllanova's Campus on January 19th at 3:00.

Please come see these two leading public intellectuals demonstrate their commitment to reasoned inquiry and civil dialogue.
