About Bridges to the Future
Bridges to the Future was created in 2002 to build a framework of programs that stimulate civic dialog and discussion among Colorado communities. Programming includes lectures, panel discussions and classes. All are free and open to the public.
The 2007-08 Bridges to the Future program
The 2007–08 University of Denver Bridges to the Future program is dedicated to "The Pursuit of Happiness." Despite a world-view that can seem dismal, psychologists, sociologists, anthropologists and theologians are making human happiness the focus of their research. The reason is not academic, they say; our survival may depend upon the answers derived.
Throughout the 2007-08 academic year, DU will host three speakers to examine how we pursue happiness in the midst of tough on-going issues, like war and pollution.
