Dr. Bernard Armada, Communication and Journalism Department, along with students and other UST faculty will lead today's Telos Project open discussion.
Sponsored by the O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library, the semesterlong series seeks to bring a renewed focus to St. Thomas’ commitment to the pursuit of truth through the integration of knowledge across disciplines.
Meetings take place from noon to 1 p.m. Thursdays in the O’Shaughnessy Room (108), O’Shaughnessy-Frey Library. Each week a professor from a different department gives a brief presentation on:
- His or her discipline
- What attracted him or her to that field
- Why the larger UST community should care
Today’s meeting will begin with a 15-minute introduction to Armada’s discipline and area of expertise, followed by a discussion and conversation among students and faculty. All students are invited to participate in the dialogue. Cookies and juice will be served.
