Join us for weekly academic presentations by DBU faculty, staff, students,
and guest speakers as we participate in and contribute to the "Great
Conversation" from the vantage point of the "Greatest Conversation"!

The Friday Symposium is a weekly, interdisciplinary lecture series on campus sponsored by the DBU philosophy department. It meets for one hour just about every Friday at noon in the Learning Center, room 316. You can bring your lunch and feed both body and mind simultaneously.

The purpose of the Friday Symposium is to stimulate meaningful conversation about topics of classic and contemporary importance, and to do so from the vantage point of Christian conviction. The F.S. features DBU faculty and staff, guest speakers, and students.

So, plan on attending as many Symposium sessions as you can! It is a great opportunity for the entire DBU community to participate in and contribute to the “Great Conversation!”

Dr. David Naugle launched The Friday Symposium in 1995 Spring semester. Since that time, approximately 300 papers and lectures on topics spanning the
disciplines have been presented by DBU faculty, staff, students, and special
guest lecturers.

• To provide the Friday Symposium speakers an opportunity to model the
  integral connection of the Biblical worldview and the academic enterprise.
• To deepen the intellectual culture at DBU and to foster a spirit of
  curiosity and inquiry on campus.
• To provide an opportunity for the DBU community to engage in meaningful
  conversation about topics of classic and contemporary relevance and to
  promote the formation of a rigorous Christian mind on all aspects of thought and life.
