Russell Kirk Society

The Russell Kirk Society at Villanova University is a student-centered organization that promotes civil discussion and debate on the core principles that facilitate a free and prosperous American Society. Through group discussions and inquiry in political philosophy, we aim to expand the political imaginations of our members and to promote the common good. We wish to attract prominent speakers who will help to start conversations on campus that motivate students to use their intellect in pursuit of truth. The Russell Kirk Society is ultimately an instrument of virtue on campus, consistent with Villanova’s mission of Truth, Unity, and Love.
