Two upcoming events to consider entering into your calendar:

1. There will be an organizational meeting for Ethics Bowl: Wednesday, September 8, 3 pm, RWST 214. If you are interested but cannot attend, please contact Dr. Robison at rachel.robison@usu.edu. Ethics Bowl is sort of like Debate, arguing over questions of social ethics and applied ethics, though in a more constructive and collegial atmosphere.
2. There will be a kick-off meeting for Philosophy Club: Wednesday, September 15, 3 pm, RWST 214. Again, let Dr. Robison know if you are interested but cannot attend!

A hearty welcome to students new or returning! We hope the semester is off to a good start for you. We are planning to have multiple kinds of events through the coming year to nourish your yearning for philosophy. Best wishes, good luck, and stay safe!!!

Undergraduate Teaching Fellows (UTFs) assist a professor in teaching a class. They are awarded $750 for the semester, and are expected to attend the class they are assisting with and work with the professor in helping the students with the material. For more information about USU’s UTF program, please see this site.

We will be looking for 7 UTFs in philosophy this fall. If you are interested, please complete the UTF application for philosophy.

NOTE: The deadline for applications is May 5th, 2021.
