As scholars such as Julie Reuben have documented, there has been a decline in the mission of moral formation of students over the history of US higher education and this role of the university is no longer to be taken for granted. What role, if any, does the university play in the moral formation of its students? Is moral formation beyond the bounds of its mission or is it inescapable? What virtues are formed in the modern university? This public panel, part of the Annual Meeting of the In Lumine Network, will serve to provide a broad conversation about the role of the university in regard to virtue and moral formation.
