The Department of Philosophy and Religion is pleased to announce a new minor program that explores foundational questions. The 18-hour minor engages students in three important areas of humanistic inquiry that are in crisis in this rapidly developing and globalizing technocratic era: what it means for something to be true, what meaning is and how one finds it, and what does and should have value. It meets these objectives through a combination of three-credit and one-credit course options in the areas of philosophy, religion, and ethics.

The minor has been designed to accommodate a broad range of UE students by maximizing the number of choices a student can make in tailoring the minor to their interests and major(s) and because six of the eighteen required hours may be met with one-credit text seminars thereby allowing students to make progress toward the minor even in heavy-credit semesters. This makes the TMV minor a viable option for many students in UE’s professional programs while also complementing many majors within the College of Arts and Sciences.

For more information on this program, please visit https://www.evansville.edu/majors/truth-meaning-and-value/. If you are interested in picking up this minor, please contact the program’s coordinator, Dr. Beavers, at tb2@evansville.edu.

Just a reminder to anyone dining at Cafe Court who chooses the carryout line, that the plastic boxes your food is packaged in are reusable and should be returned to the receptacle outside of Cafe Court or any cashier.

Last week, Major General Ondra L. Berry provided a keynote message for the UE Fall Conference. Major General Berry is a 1986 UE alum as well as a 2010 Alumni of the Year recipient. If you missed his keynote, or would like to watch it again, the video is now available on the Center for Diversity, Equity, & Inclusion's webpage.

Thank you to Rob Shelby, PhD, for working so closely with General Berry to share his message that diversity, equity, and inclusion is the responsibility of each of us.
