In the 2019-2020 GradFellows Colloquia, we dove into the deep tradition of Catholic Social Thought. Beginning with the Leonine Tradition and moving out from there topically and textually. Graduate students and faculty gathered for a survey on this essential tradition, covering topics from solidarity and peace to religious freedom and environmental ethics. We kicked off the year with a special Happy Hour for Grad Fellows on Friday, September 6th, 2019.
