Dear John,
I wanted to share with you some of the great work we are doing. In addition to contributing sound and reasoned discussions of the pressing issues of our time at Public Discourse, the Witherspoon Institute also forms students in how to pursue wisdom through its academic seminars.
1. Online High School Seminars in March
During this unprecedented time, many young people are finding their education disrupted. Witherspoon is offering opportunities for high school students to enhance their education this year by exploring deep questions on love, the political order, death, and more with the help of great thinkers in a series of online seminars.
We are offering three in March 2021:
- Nasty, Brutish, and Short: The Need and Nature of Law
- Thornton Wilder's Bridge of San Luis Rey and the Purpose of Literature
- Faith and Reason in Thomas Aquinas
Read more about each online seminar and encourage interested high school students to apply. The deadline is February 19th, 2021.
2. Summer Seminars in Princeton
Additionally, for over a decade the Witherspoon Institute has hosted summer seminars in Princeton for high school, college, and graduate students:
If you or someone you know would be interested in attending, note that applications for all summer seminars are due February 15, 2021. Learn how to apply.
Thank you for helping us share these opportunities!
Yours,
R. J. Snell
