Reliance College is delighted to invite supporters and the public to our first Jefferson Dinner at Chicago’s beautiful, historically significant Union League Club on Friday, March 10th, 2023 with special guest Dr. Stephen R. C. Hicks. This event is strictly limited to 50 attendees, so secure your tickets today.
About the Jefferson Dinner Series
Thomas Jefferson was famous for holding gourmet dinners with wine, at which guests sat in the round as equals and discussed riveting topics triggered by great questions.
They did not talk about diplomacy or tax differentials, or Democrats and Republicans squabbling in Congress – they talked about ideas, they talked about what serves enlightenment, they talked about the true purposes of life.
Reliance College is reviving this kind of dinner!
What to Expect
Join us for our first evening in this dinner series from 5:00-9:00 PM on Friday, March 10th, 2023 for a remarkable evening of conviviality, learning, and discussion.
During this first dinner, we’ll welcome Dr. Stephen R. C. Hicks for a talk on What is Entrepreneurial Education and Why We Need It Now. Following his remarks, attendees will participate in a guided discussion at their table that will also showcase the Reliance College educational method.
Dr. Hicks is a philosopher and professor of philosophy at Rockford University as well as the world-renowned author of Explaining Postmodernism: From Rousseau to Foucault, now translated into nine languages. He speaks and teaches in such far flung places as Australia, Norway, and Poland, as well as Illinois.
We invite you and your guests to enjoy a delicious dinner and engage with others interested in the issues of education, philosophy, and culture.
