On February 18-19, 2022, Lee University’s Center for Responsible Citizenship hosted its 6th Annual Symposium on Civic Virtue and Thought. The theme of this year’s symposium is “Persons and Place: Wendell Berry and the Weight of Love,” which will explore the importance of human connection and locality through Wendell Berry’s writings. This intercollegiate symposium brings together students, faculty, and alumni from Lee and several regional colleges for a two-day conversation on how ties to family and community can offer direction to the modern world.

The symposium will include discussion seminars and a keynote by David Kern.
