The UVU Undergraduate Philosophy Conference is hosted annually with the intention of providing undergraduate students with a platform for developing and presenting philosophical research in collaboration with faculty and other students from across Utah and the nation.
The G. Lawrence Anderson Keynote address at the conference brings a philosopher of the highest excellence and commitment to education to work with current UVU philosophy students. Galen Lawrence Anderson tragically passed away in August 2006, depriving the world of a brilliant and passionate human being. At the time, Lawrence was completing his philosophy degree and preparing for law school. A high school basketball star, Lawrence translated that same passion, work ethic, and skill to his study of philosophy. He loved all areas of philosophy and held a particular passion for the history of philosophy from Plato to Nietzsche. Lawrence was among the earliest group of Bachelor Degree students in Philosophy at UVU and he perfectly represents the spirit, community, and passion of philosophy at Utah Valley University.
This year's conference will be held April 10 and 11 in CB 511. See linked program above, or by clicking on the image to the right.
