Anselmian Events
Join us on April 24th for “Leadership, the Social Compact, and the Future of Work,” a conversation with national bestselling author James Rhee and Amanda Grappone. This event is hosted in partnership with the Center for Ethics in Society and the Gregory J. Grappone Humanities Institute.
In kindergarten, James Rhee received a toy red helicopter in gratitude for a simple act of generosity—sharing his lunch. Decades later, the lesson from that small gift led him to develop a human-centered framework for business and personal achievement that helped him overcome seemingly insurmountable hurdles and find unprecedented success.
Together, Grappone and Rhee will discuss key points from his book and share meaningful ways that leadership and kindness can impact the business world.

Eucharistic Adoration is a great way to spend time with God in the peace and silence of the Abbey Church. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to spend some quiet time with God. Come and go as you like.
Professor Joshua Tepley and the students in PH 220 Women in Philosophy will host a panel discussion of alumnae Philosophy majors to discuss the role and contribution of women in Philosophy. Learn how these women used their Philosophy major as a catalyst to personal growth and professional success.
The event will consist of a panel discussion and student networking opportunities.
