The Center continually reflects upon the tremendous successes we have enjoyed in the initial years of our history. At the same time, it is incumbent upon us to deliberate about how we might pursue our goals even more successfully in the future. Accordingly, the Center is seeking funds for a set of new initiatives that will bring the Center into more extensive and effective engagement with the culture in which we live, both inside and outside academia. Specifically, the Center is looking to raise funds in order to:
The way in which the Center's needs in these areas relate to our basic principles is clear. In order forcefully to address ethical problems in the wider culture the Center must be able to continue its successful annual conference, as well as host a widely influential publications program. In order to pursue ethical questions within a tradition of thought and practice, the Center must demonstrate the extension of the Augustinian/Thomistic tradition within its own intellectual life by building up a genuine community of visiting fellows. And of course, none of these programs can be effectively pursued without the appropriate administrative support.
