The Benson Center seeks to broaden the sphere of conversation at the University of Colorado, exposing students and the larger community to the full range of intellectual discourse that takes place in our country today. We take as our foundation the Western intellectual tradition and seek to showcase the possibility of respectful, intelligent debate over the issues that matter most to our society. We offer public events on the major issues of our time throughout the academic year.

Stay abreast of our events and activities:
