Hancock Symposium 2024!

Out of this World!

From the vastness of outer space to the infinitesimal scale of particles; from the creative fantasies of authors to the wonders of the modern cyber universe, where will humanity continue to explore, and what truths will we continue to reach for? What new frontiers will we discover using our ingenuity and imagination? What industries will we disrupt, and what outrageous activities will we consider mundane in the coming years? We’ll dig into modern and historical marvels and learn about our world by looking beyond it and deep within it. We’ll ponder the limitlessness of our own minds and creativity and reach for what comes next.

This Symposium will engage experts who will help us understand concepts that are out of this world, figuratively and literally. It will highlight the importance of values, character, lifelong learning, critical thinking, and problem-solving — all key components of a liberal arts education.

Sir Winston Churchill

When you hear about Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri - you may also hear about Sir Winston Churchill, and for good reason. On March 5, 1946, Sir Winston Churchill visited Westminster College as the Green Lecturer and delivered "Sinews of Peace," a message heard round the world that went down in history as the "Iron Curtain Speech."

The Man. The Message. The Museum.
