The Father Don Willette Endowment presents Theology in a State University​ with David Deane, Ph.D.

The modern world brings with it a series of binaries: public and private, faith and reason, Church and state. This presentation will look at the past and future of Catholic theology at CSU and explore how its presence can call into question binaries that have not always served us well.

2 p.m. | Special organ performance by Joel Bacon, Stewart and Sheron Golden Chair of Organ and Liturgical Studies

2:30 – 4 p.m. | Dr. David Deane’s talk
