At the fifth annual symposium, we gather around the theme “Caritas et Veritas in Community” to explore the relevance of our motto for the world in which we live—a world rich in diversity, yet marred by inequality.  Amidst this reality, in community, we live our lives.  Community simplifies.  Community complicates.  Community is chosen and unchosen.  We invite the entire Dominican community—faculty, staff, students, trustees and alumnae/i—to contemplate these questions.

How do love and truth inform:

• the tension between personal identity and group membership?
• the dynamics of living in diverse communities?
• our grappling with inequality among and within groups?
