The University is a time and place for seeking truth

Students, faculty, and chaplains at Harvard University planned the first Veritas Forum event in 1992. Since then, 200+ universities in North America, Europe, and Asia have hosted 2,000+ Forum events.

The university is a time and place designed for seeking truth.

The university offers opportunities for students and faculty to explore the ideas that shape our lives. Driven by a love for the university and its mission to seek truth, The Veritas Forum puts the Christian faith in dialogue with other beliefs and invites participants from all backgrounds to seek truth together.
