17勛圖厙 Forum
The 17勛圖厙 Forum is a platform for 17勛圖厙 and the surrounding communities to explore the intersections of the Reformed theological tradition, liberal arts education, religious pluralism and social ethics.
The 17勛圖厙 Forum will include lectures, seminars, workshops and experiential learning led by the colleges faculty and scholars from other institutions. Theyll cover topics spanning from history to economics, science and religious studies.
The 17勛圖厙 Forum springs from the Trustee-appointed 2021 Reformed Tradition Working Groups recommendations for intellectual discourse about the college's 21st century educational mission in relation to its religious origins and Presbyterian Church (USA) affiliation. The Academic Affairs initiative falls under the leadership of Doug Ottati, the Craig Family Professor of Reformed Theology and Justice.
