Sponsored by the Center for Benedictine Values (earlier in conjunction with the Department of Theology at Benedictine University) the Visiting Scholar in Catholic Thought Lecture Series was created in 2008 by Fr. Philip Timko, OSB, to develop an understanding of what it means to be a Catholic university grounded in the Benedictine tradition.
Visiting scholars are chosen annually from a variety of disciplines so that, over time, each of the major academic areas at Benedictine have a connection to the series.
