Programs

Ongoing Major Programs Funded by the Center

• Cardin Programs
• The Honors Program: The Honors Program, which receives half of its funding from the Center, offers an academic curriculum designed to enrich and complement the academic experience inherent in a Loyola education, along with a wide range of activities, including numerous cultural experiences off campus.
• Humanities Symposium: The Humanities Symposium links a series of intellectual and cultural events (lectures, films, fine arts activities) to a single text and theme each year. The chosen text is typically included in 40 or more courses and thus becomes the basis for a campus-wide discussion which is both interdisciplinary and cross-disciplinary. A Symposium Week includes multi-class discussion of the symposium text during regularly scheduled class periods, and culminates in a keynote address. The keynote speakers for past symposia have included CORE co-founder James Farmer, as well as Nobel laureates Elie Wiesel, Czeslaw Milosz, and Toni Morrison.
• Celebrate the Humanities: Teaching, Learning, Research
  An annual event occurring early in the fall semester which showcases oral presentations and posters by the recipients of the CFH Student Summer Fellowships, CFH Summer Internship Stipends, CFH Summer Study Program Stipends, DHSI program, and student conference grants. We also honor the Nachbahr award faculty recipient for outstanding achievement in scholarship or creative work and the recipient of the Teaching Faculty Excellence award. A reception follows.
