Etter-Harbin Alumni Center

Life in the university brings endless opportunities for new learning: in the classroom, through relationships, and in new experiences. These opportunities often force us to examine, test, and reconsider our most deeply-held beliefs. What are we to do when we find ourselves in this place? Join us for a lively conversation between three scholars from different fields. There will also be discussion with attendees at tables and time for audience Q&R.

Dinner will be provided!

AUGUSTINE COLLECTIVE PUBLICATION

The Texas Trinitas

The Texas Trinitas is the first student-run journal of Christian thought in the state of Texas. Based at the University of Texas at Austin and run by UT undergraduates, we hope to catalyze a conversation on campus by exposing students and faculty to ideas they may never have encountered before.
