Teaching The Teachers; Forming Friendships in Pursuit of Truth.
Intensive Coursework in the Catholic Intellectual Tradition
Since 2008, the Lumen Christi Institute’s summer seminar program has offered intensive coursework and formation in the Catholic intellectual tradition. The seminars are designed to convey in one week the equivalent of a semester-long course, so that students can use the intellectual formation over the tenure of their own academic careers as teachers and researchers once they become future faculty. Students who have passed through the Lumen Christi Institute’s summer seminar program currently teach at Harvard University, the University of Notre Dame, the University of Dallas, and many other institutions.
Summer Seminars
Led by senior scholars, these seminars provide crucial fellowship opportunities, as well as the support that Catholic students at secular universities need in their pursuit of truth. In addition to engaging with texts from the Catholic intellectual tradition, the camaraderie that develops among the students makes a lasting impact on their professional and personal lives.
