About this event
In today's higher education (HE) environment, the mission and purpose of the Catholic university can be difficult to define and to understand. Many universities are attempting to reclaim their specific faith foundation and identify and make sense of it in a challenging, complex and competitive HE environment. The challenges can be great but the prospects and opportunities can be even greater.
But the opportunities will only come if we take the time to discuss and to debate the relevance of the Catholic higher education institution (HEI) as an environment where graduates are developed to be both job-ready and suitably equipped to become the ethical leaders of the future. Graduates who will act with integrity and virtue in relation to how they see the world, business, communities, politics and the global injustices that permeate every level of the contemporary world.
This conference will bring together academics, young people, Vice Chancellors and others to discuss how the Catholic HEI can be the vehicle through which the values-driven ethical leaders of the future can be found and supported - without excluding the role that can be played by faith and spirituality in that quest to create the leaders of the future.
The conference will be held on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 May 2023.

Who should attend?
This conference is open to everyone. It may be of particular interest to those who have an interest in ethical leadership, what Catholic universities can offer in a challenging world that often turns a blind eye to those who are most vulnerable or to the behaviours, structures and/or circumstances that hold people back from living a fulfilled life.
