Create a public sphere where businesses, nonprofits, academics, students and citizens can discuss and debate the theories and practices of a free enterprise system. In the classroom and the community, the Sullivan program will ensure the discussion of free enterprise explores value-based solutions, advocates socially conscious business practices and represents the points of view of under served communitites.
Every 12 to 18 months the John J. Sullivan Endowed Chair for Free Enterprise will focus on a “hot topic” related to free enterprise. The topic for 2005-2006 was Health Care and Free Enterprise. In 2006, The Sullivan Chair transitioned to the topic of Poverty and Free Enterprise; we will bring authors and speakers to campus to stimulate dialogue with Regis University faculty, staff and students as well as business and community members on the topic of Free Enterprise and Poverty.
New York Times best selling author of Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, John Perkins will visit Regis on March 31st and April 1st. Mr. Perkins will speak on Transforming Turmoil into a New Economy
For the first time in human history every human being faces the same crises, including climate change, diminishing resources, and economic turmoil. It is time, Perkins says, to develop a model that takes us out of war-based, exploitative economies into ones committed to creating a world that future generations will want to inherit.
