About Veritas Forums

Veritas Forum

Where does morality come from? Isn't science rapidly approaching a complete explanation of nature? Do you ever have doubts about your worldview? Where can I find meaning and fulfillment?

College students around the world are asking themselves and their friends these questions, but there is often no real place to explore these questions alongside brilliant faculty and leading thinkers. 

Veritas Forums are university events that engage students and faculty in discussions about life's hardest questions and the relevance of Jesus Christ to all of life.

Veritas Forums are created and hosted by campus student organizations, connected to a network of 70 campuses nationwide, and supported by the national Veritas Forum team.

History at Dartmouth

Dartmouth Happy Right

In 2011, The Veritas Forum at Dartmouth looked to Christian and syncretic worldviews for the answer to an age-old question: "What Will Make Me Happy?" Join Satyan Devadoss of Williams, Dartmouth's own Paul Christesen, and the Dartmouth community for a dialogue on one of life's hardest questions, drawing from their respective traditions. 

Dartmouth Significant Right

In 2010, The Veritas Forum at Dartmouth opened existential questions to lively discussion in "Are We Significant Figures? In A Vast Universe ... Why Is Humanity Important?" MIT's Ian Hutchinson and Dartmouth's Marcelo Gleiser discuss physics, God and the meaning of life. Hear two drastically different views, one Christian and one agnostic, on one of life's most important questions.
