Thomas International Center Mission
The goal of the Thomas International Center is a broad one: cultural renewal in light of the Western and Christian intellectual traditions. This broad goal is made concrete in more specific objectives, focused especially on the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area, which include:
• first, working with students at nationally-renowned universities (such as Duke University, the University of North Carolina, and North Carolina State University), to help them achieve a more integrated education, drawing on the classical and Christian heritage of Western civilization;
• second, promoting scholarship in the classical and Christian intellectual tradition, especially as represented by Thomas Aquinas, which offers a sound framework for addressing the many social problems we face in our world today; and
• third, sponsoring programs open to the public to clarify important issues facing our society, especially in light of the principles of classical and Christian Western civilization and the American founding.
