Worldview Forum

The Worldview Forum leadership team comprises a mix of staff, faculty, and students united by a shared vision of preparing graduates to think critically in the workplace. The forum achieves this mission through bi-annual events that focus on student-driven topics, fostering civil dialogue and critical thinking at the core of its purpose.

Each semester, the forum centers on a topic chosen through student surveys, with two guest speakers presenting conflicting perspectives or different religious worldviews. Guided by questions inspired by James Sire’s The Universe Next Door, the forum prioritizes respectful conversation rather than debate. Audience questions in the second half further promote engagement and deeper understanding of complex ideas.

Our next two forums are as follows:
