An Intellectual Fellowship
The Humanities Program is sustained by an intellectual fellowship among faculty, administrators, students, and others both on and off campus. The members of the Program represent a diversity of disciplines, departments, and offices, and share a devotion to undergraduate education, a love of our Catholic and Dominican Mission, and a commitment to the highest standards of academic inquiry.
