Since 1982, the mission of the Dominican University College Foundation has been to support the Dominican Center for Studies and Formation, a community of study, research and teaching rooted in the Dominican intellectual and spiritual tradition.
CDEVS BECOMES CDEF
The Centre dominicain d’éthique et de vie spirituelle changes its name and
becomes the Dominican Center for Studies and Formation (CDEF)
to better reflect our areas of expertise in theology,
exegesis and philosophy. This in no way alters our winter and spring programming at
.
What’s more, CDEF now has 4 components: the Noël-Mailloux Chair in Ethics of Care and Bioethics, and the Noël-Mailloux Chair in Bioethics. Noël-Mailloux Chair in Ethics of Care and Bioethicsthe Evangile Théologie et Vie, the School of Philosophy and the Dynamic Archives. These changes will appear on our website in 2026

It is important to go beyond the walls of the College to meet the needs of this time, in a largely secularized world. We need to ask questions differently and find other ways to stay relevant.
