In September, the Wabash Conservative Union, along with the Wabash Newman Center and the Intercollegiate Studies Institute, hosted Dr. Robert P. George at Wabash. His talk, entitled “Natural Law, God, and Human Dignity” was well-attended by the Wabash Community. You can listen to the first and second halves of his talk here.
The Wabash Conservative Union will be hosting 2008 Presidential candidate and five-term member of the U.S. House of Representatives Tom Tancredo. Tancredo will be speaking on immigration reform on Tuesday, April 12 at 8:00p.m. in the Pioneer chapel at Wabash College. The event will be free and open to the public.
Tancredo has been an outspoken voice in the debate on immigration reform. Most recently, in 2010, Tancredo ran for the Colorado governorship under the American Constitution Party’s ticket and came in second place with 36.7% of the vote. He ran on a platform of fiscal responsibility and immigration enforcement.
