• Regional Reading Group

  We host discussion colloquiums for students interested in classical works on free society. These symposiums are typically a few days long and involve in-depth discussions in a Socratic style about the books read ahead of time. We collaborate with universities in the region and host 15-25 students from College of Charleston and other local universities.
