• Seminars• The David A. Boileau Thomas Aquinas Lecture Series

• One of the Foundation’s priority grassroots goals is to establish The David A. Boileau Thomas Aquinas Lecture Series. We envision this Series as open to National and International Faculty and Scholars, and as multi-disciplinary. Lecturers in the Series include philosophers or other disciplinarians who may use a supportive, comparative, or critical approach to Thomist philosophy.

• Students, regardless of their departmental major, may submit proposals for presentations that clearly and distinctly represent the Lecture theme. These include but are not limited to: academic poster presentations, including presentations from the humanities, sciences, economics, law, and the performing or visual arts.

* Potential proposals for the Lecture Series are accepted by Dr. Sharon Harbin, President & CEO of the Foundation and presented to the Board for review. The Board and Officers of the Foundation retain the rights to limit the major theme of the Series to the Philosophy of Thomas Aquinas,and as stated above, as well, negotiation of shared rights or any and all academic works as a result thereof.
