What are the central criteria for the Boniuk Center to sponsor an event or speaker?
We sponsor events that offer a promise of support for our mission, which is to understand and facilitate the conditions that lead to peaceful coexistence among people of different faith traditions. This mission includes an educational component that calls for engagement with our students, with people in the larger Houston area, and with people throughout the world via our web-based materials. Generally, we seek speakers who have something to share – a hypothesis, analysis, experience, perspective, etc. – that is of value to the quest for coexistence.
