George Mason University

Written By Thomistic Institute

Thomistic Institute chapters are on-campus, academic clubs formed and run by students to bring top-notch Christian intellectuals to their university campuses. These chapters organize lectures, seminars, and reading groups to explore the riches of the Christian intellectual tradition. Events for GMU are organized in partnership with the Mason Catholic Patriots.

All Thomistic Institute lectures on campus are free and open to the public.
