Held on the beautiful Notre Dame campus, the Vita Institute educates participants in the fundamentals of human life issues at the highest academic level from the perspectives of biology, philosophy, theology, law, psychology, and other social sciences. Through the instruction by and engagement with premier faculty, discussion with other Vita Institute participants, and introduction to community outreach programs, participants are challenged intellectually and equipped to effectively engage the culture on beginning of life issues. Visits will be made to the Women's Care Center, and Hannah's House, and presentations will be made by InForming Life and Fertility Care Center of Michiana. The Vita Institute seeks both to educate and to inspire its participants through instruction by noted experts in a strong community environment. To read about the inaugural Vita Institute, click here.
