2016 SUU Undergraduate Philosophy Conference

Thank you for joining us in celebrating undergraduate scholarship both at Southern Utah University and across the country. The students in the philosophy club, with help from myself and Dr. Fitzpatrick, put together a particularly impressive undergraduate philosophy conference that we held here on SUU's campus on Saturday, Feb. 6th.

Dr. Brian Collins (California Lutheran University) presented a paper titled,

"The Ethics of Following the Law."
