Ohio Dominican University (ODU) invites members of the campus and surrounding communities to attend several on-campus lectures scheduled to take place during the 2022-23 academic year related to its fall seminar series and annual celebration of Dominican saints.
ODU鈥檚 Center for Dominican Studies will present a series of lectures this fall that focuses on the university鈥檚 academic theme for the upcoming academic year: What is our call to justice and peace? Each of the four lectures in the series will be presented or led by an ODU faculty member. The presentations listed below are free and open to the public; however, seating is limited. To reserve your seat for each session, contact Sr. Diane Traffas, OP, ODU Vice President for Mission and Identity and Director of the Center for Dominican Studies, at traffasd@ohiodominican.edu or 614-251-4722.
In addition to the fall seminar series, ODU will host its three annual lectures celebrating the feast days of St. Albert the Great, St. Thomas Aquinas, and St. Catherine of Siena. Each lecture will be presented by a Dominican Sister of Peace, representing ODU鈥檚 founding congregation. These presentations also are free and open to the public; however, registration is not required beforehand.
