Guest Speaker: Mr. Michael Novak

Michael Novak

Michael Novak has been a leader in the effort to shape culture, government, and public policy in both this country and the rest of the world, in a manner that is in accordance with right reason and the dignity of man. Currently a senior scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and a member of the Board of the National Endowment for Democracy, Mr. Novak has twice served as the U.S. ambassador to the UN Human Rights Commission, and once to the Conference on Security and Cooperation in Europe. His writings on religion, philosophy, and public policy have been translated into every major language. We thank him for his work and join him in honoring Prof. Ralph McInerny’s efforts to preserve and promote the universal truth and our Western tradition.
