Wednesday Night Dinners

Join us every other Wednesday for the Wednesday Night Dinner, a special event where we come together to eat food and build meaningful connections. Enjoy a delicious meal on us. Move past the small talk and engage in deep, thoughtful dialogue. This is a space to strengthen our bond as a community, get to know each other better, and support one another in our journeys. Whether you’re a regular or not, you’ll find a warm welcome and a place at our table any week.

Discussion Groups

At the beginning of every semester, The Program for Leadership and Character will hold a discussion group called “What is College For?” that invites students into personal reflection on issues of leadership, character, and the good life. In it, we’ll think about the nature of the good life and how we can live such lives in college and beyond.

During the second half of the fall semester we will lead discussion groups focused on special areas of shared interest.
