Whitworth University President's Leadership Forum: Dr. Francis S. Collins

The Whitworth President's Leadership Forum series brings speakers and artists to Spokane who represent a broad range of voices, perspectives and ideas. Whitworth is confident that we are sharpened by rigorous and open intellectual inquiry and by engagement with the broadest spectrum of thought. This confidence motivates Whitworth to lead the way in inviting speakers and artists who can help our community engage in critical and careful thinking, civil discourse and effective action.

Dr. Francis Collins invites us to explore the foundations of clear thinking and wise judgment during his discussion titled, “The Road to Wisdom: On Truth, Science, Faith and Trust.” Collins will focus on these four essential sources that can guide us through uncertainty. He’ll examine how they interact, where they may seem to conflict, and how they can ultimately work together to help us make sense of the world and our place in it.
