• 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.
