The Center for Catholic Studies was established in 2006 under the direction of Dr. Paul Lakeland. Since its inception, the Center for Catholic Studies has established an undergraduate minor program in Catholic Studies, encouraged the inclusion of mission and identity issues in academia on campus, promoted Catholic intellectual and religious tradition on campus, and established an outreach program with the local community.
In 2005, the Center for Faith and Public Life was established with the goal of preparing students to become global citizens, while creating a public forum to discuss today鈥檚 critical issues and generate research-based solutions. As the Center prepares to move forward into the next 10 years, it will continue to build on its primary goals including the launch of the Humanitarian Action Minor this spring.
