Our Student Leadership Conference is expanding to become our largest event! In addition to our student leaders, we will welcome Thomistic Institute members, alumni, and other members of the TI community to attend the weekend portion of the conference.

This year's theme is "Why Be A Thomist?" Our focus will be on the role of Thomistic thought in the contemporary world.

Veritas (Student Leaders) (June 26-30, 2024): Students who will be TI Campus Chapter leaders during the 2024-25 academic year will gather from Wednesday to Sunday for a time of formation in philosophy, theology, and the practical aspects of running a Thomistic Institute Chapter. There will also be times of prayer with the Dominican friars and opportunities to explore Washington, D.C.

Veritas (June 28-30, 2024): Speakers, members, alumni, and other Thomistic Institute constituents are invited to join the chapter leaders from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon for a celebration of St. Thomas Aquinas and the Thomistic Institute. The sessions from Friday to Sunday will be marked by philosophical and theological discussions, time for prayer, sacraments, meals, and socializing. We are pleased to welcome Matt Fradd as our keynote speaker for this inaugural VERITAS.
