Join us in the Bioethics and Theological Studies Village on October 20th and 21st for two engaging lectures by Maureen Junker-Kenny from 12-1:30 pm! Both lectures are open to students, faculty, and staff with food and refreshments provided. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage in meaningful and critical conversations about ethics, theology, and questions that shape our world. We hope to see you there!

On May 5, 2026, in the Bioethics Village (University Hall 4500), we hosted our End of Year Celebration to mark an incredible year of academic achievement and meaningful conversation.

This event, held on February 10 in the Bioethics Village (University Hall 4500), brought together students, faculty, and staff for a lecture-style discussion centered on the documentary Tell Them You Love Me.

"You might be familiar with the work of William Desmond, hailed by Paul Weiss, the founder of the Review of Metaphysics, as the 'leading philosopher of his generation.' It was an extraordinary opportunity to have William with us, and we were grateful to make the most of his presence. A longtime professor at Leuven, Desmond also held the Cook Visiting Chair at Villanova and was a visiting fellow with the Augustinian Institute there. His work, spanning more than twenty-five books, covers a broad spectrum of topics, from aesthetics to ethics, metaphysics, and philosophy of religion." - Dr. Roberto Dell’Oro, Director of the Bioethics Institute
