Wyoming Catholic College Annual Lecture Series - 2024-2025 Lecture 6: Dale Ahlquist

Each year, Wyoming Catholic College invites members of the wider academic community to the town of Lander—distinguished men and women who contribute complementary perspectives across a wide range of disciplines. This series is considered an essential part of the College’s curriculum, and attendance is mandatory for the entire student body. But it is more than simply a required element of our students’ education; it is also an opportunity to welcome members of the local community into the academic life of the College.

Dale Ahlquist, President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton

The series will conclude with an April 25, 2025 presentation from Dale Ahlquist, President of the Society of Gilbert Keith Chesterton, creator and host of the EWTN series “G.K. Chesterton: The Apostle of Common Sense,” and Publisher of Gilbert Magazine. The author of six books (and editor of fourteen), he is a Senior Fellow of the Chesterton Library at London, and has been called “probably the greatest living authority on the life and work of G.K. Chesterton.” Dale has given more than 900 lectures, including at Yale, Columbia, Cornell, Notre Dame, Oxford, the Vatican Forum in Rome, and the House of Lords in London. He is also the co-founder of Chesterton Academy, a top-rated Catholic classical high school in Hopkins, Minnesota, which is the flagship of the growing Chesterton Schools Network, which now includes nearly 60 high schools in the U.S., Canada, Italy, Iraq, and Sierra Leone.
