We are pleased to announce a web presence for Kirk on Campus, our new project that celebrates and defends the permanent things at America’s colleges and universities. As a unique source of cultural conservative thought, Kirk on Campus fills a critical niche in the national conversation. The program will bring scholars unashamed but not uncritical of the great legacy of America and the West to schools across Michigan and its neighboring region. In doing so it will help contribute to a greater variety of thought and informed opinion, as well as to cultivate much-need civilized discourse.
It only comes once a year. Tonight is Kirk Night so get ready to celebrate, post a photo and hashtag #kirknight and #Kirktober.
Russell Amos Kirk, the namesake of the Kirk Center, was born 105 years ago today. Join us in celebrating Kirk's birthday by sharing your favorite Kirk quote(s) throughout the month of #Kirktober. We'd love to see what continues to inspire you and shape your thinking.
