Dominican Life of the Mind Lecture Series

Ohio Dominican's Life of the Mind Series provides occasions for the community to gather to reflect upon the ideas and events that shape our culture. Sponsored by the Center for Dominican Studies, the series features artists, musicians, intellectuals, and critics who contribute to the life of the mind.

The Life of the Mind Series is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Sansbury Hall and the Spangler Learning Center are on Ohio Dominican University's main campus, 1216 Sunbury Road, Columbus.
