Benson Center at CU Boulder

The Benson Center at CU Boulder explores the culture, languages, and ideas of the Western tradition; from antiquity to modern society. We examine the values that emerge from that tradition and their ongoing role in American institutions and public life.

Integral to our mission is a commitment to fostering research, debate, and dialogue on the moral, political, and economic issues of our time.

Through lectures, panels, and conversations, we promote a lively and balanced exchange that respects both conservative and liberal ideals, advancing the full diversity of thought on the CU Boulder campus.
