In Search of Something More: Stories of Suffering, Belief, & What It All Means

Watch This Forum

April 8, 2025

Doors Open at 7:30 p.m. ET

TBD

College is a time for searching. We’re searching for jobs, friendships, and other things that make life meaningful. But when the search fails us, or we suffer from things out of our control, where do we find our purpose? Is there something beyond ourselves — something spiritual or transcendent— that can give us hope?

Molly Worthen will moderate a conversation between Ross Douthat and Frank Bruni. Hear both speakers explore their stories of illness and vision loss, their different experiences with spirituality and religion, and where to begin in the search for meaning.
