DIETRICH VON HILDEBRAND LEGACY PROJECT

Academic: The Hildebrand Project supports the engagement and study of Hildebrand and the tradition of Christian personalism through a range of programs. (1) We held our 14th annual Summer Seminar on the topic The Challenge of Community, with 50+ participants in person, and more than 100 registered virtual participants. (2) We held our annual summer Graduate Residency, welcoming 15 graduate students in Steubenville to hone their philosophical writing with academic mentors. (3) We provided two scholarships for MA philosophy students at Franciscan University of Steubenville. (4) We organized a weekend colloquium on Personalism and Communio Metaphysics at St. Bernard's School of Theology and Ministry in Rochester, NY. (5) We hosted two advanced invitation-only reading groups of eight sessions each, one on Disenchantment (Spring 2024), and a second on the philosophies of Gabriel Marcel and Dietrich von Hildebrand (Fall 2024).
