Institute on the Common Good
|
The Institute on the Common Good at Regis University serves the community at-large by promoting the common good and providing a safe and effective space for community dialogue, communal discernment, and public deliberation.
The Regis University Institute on the Common Good seeks to facilitate dialogue aimed at developing strategies to resolve important community issues. Rooted in the tradition of Roman Catholic social teaching, the Institute asserts the dignity and social nature of the human person. Nether liberal nor conservative in its posture, the Institute operates on the belief that a healthy society is committed to the welfare of all its members, especially those without a voice, suggesting a balance that avoids the extremes of exclusive individualism or totalitarianism.
The Institute will sponsor public and private forums for the discussion of significant social issues. Its intent is to promote the long-term good of the greater community of Denver and the Rocky Mountain West through the discovery of common ground for addressing these issues. While not a formal academic program, the Institute encourages Regis University faculty and students to incorporate its themes into their courses and other academic work. The University is dedicating its own resources, including space, to serve the common good through these public and private discussions as well as ongoing research and teaching.
