Center for the Advancement of the Humanities

Welcome to the CfAH!

What does it mean to be human? What constitutes a life well lived? How can we use our capacities for thought and freedom to make things better? Our student and faculty programs seek to address these perennial questions. We hope you鈥檒l join us by embarking on the journey of self-discovery and growth that only the humanities can offer.
