Veritas Forum coming to UCSF

Veritas Forum, an event-based organization promoting speaker forums on controversial science and religious issues throughout the nation, is coming to UCSF in the upcoming school year. Veritas started at Harvard in 1992 and has held events at institutions ranging from Columbia and MIT to CalPoly and UC Berkeley. Mostly focusing on undergrads, Veritas is beginning to branch out to the grad community with UCSF.

The topic this year is, "Suffering: Where is God in all of this?" A panel of guest speakers will share from their perspectives on suffering, followed by an open discussion from the audience. Plans are in the works for a cafe outreach afterward.

All are invited to attend the planning process this Winter and Spring. CMDA is hosting the event and has scheduled planning meetings for 2/28 (S-163) and 3/6 (Nursetaria). Please contact Jen Min if you have any questions.
