What Is Veritas?
The Veritas Forum at Pomona College seeks to explore the possibility of truth, beauty and goodness in every aspect of our academic and personal lives. The forum is an opportunity for the entire college community to explore and discuss life's hardest questions together. By asking the pressing questions on campus and answering them with respected voices, we hope to engage the entire college in fruitful discussion. We, the planners of the forum, are inspired by the idea that Jesus Christ has something relevant to offer the modern university in its search for knowledge, truth and significance. We welcome and honor skeptics and their questions. The Forum is not meant to be a typical academic exchange of abstract and unembodied ideas. Rather, it should come out of real community earnestly exploring questions of real importance.
We invite presenters who have wrestled with our questions to challenge us, connect disconnected ideas, and put forth their answers and objections in light of our beliefs and doubts. We believe the events will draw participants into real conversations, questions, discussions, stories, and friendships.
