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.

In 2012, The Veritas Forum at Brown questioned truth itself. How can we know anything for sure? How does it matter to my life, today? And in a world filled with good reasons for doubt, "Is Anything Worth Believing In?" Join Michael Lewis (Williams) and Stephen Tuck (Oxford) in a conversation about truth, belief, and academics.

In 2011, The Veritas Forum at Williams explored the relationship between "Religious Belief and Reason." How can the two go together? Ian Hutchinson and Colin Adams engaged in a dynamic but personal conversation about their views, the former a Christian and professor of nuclear engineering at MIT, the latter an atheist and professor of mathematics at Williams.
