Academic Theme
2024-2025
Each year, the ODU community explores one of the four themes of our Core Curriculum, which include:
- What Does it Mean to be Human?
- What is the Common Good?
- What is Justice?
- What Truths have we Learned?
The theme for the 2024-25 academic year is "What Does it Mean to be Human?"
This theme will be discussed and emphasized through classroom assignments, discussions, common readings and community service.
ODU's Office of Academic Affairs and the Center for Dominican Studies will also host talks and lectures throughout the year to provide opportunities for the community to engage in conversation.
