Facilitators: Dr. Monica Mikhail, Professor Anselm Ramelow, O.P., and Dr. Dena Fehrenbacher
Offered: Spring 2025The Undergraduate Working Group is an opportunity for undergraduate students and recent graduates to discuss the necessities of deep thinking and good intellectual work. "On Friendship” aimed to provide students with resources for understanding the value of all kinds of friendships they will encounter throughout their undergraduate career. Through conversations with Senior Fellows and faculty, we discussed the value and contingencies of friendship. Some questions included: What is the nature of friendship? Does it require necessary conditions? Are there evaluative measures to determine whether a friendship is worthwhile? And, what social value does it offer and what ends does it serve?
