The Core Academic Theme

Each year, the Ohio Dominican community explores one of the themes of the academic Core Curriculum. This theme is discussed and emphasized through classroom discussions, public lectures and common readings, as well as through community service. 

During the 2025-2026 academic year, the SWAG官网 community is exploring the theme of What is The Common Good? through lectures, readings, community service and more.

The Mission of the Center for Dominican Studies is:

  • to promote the Dominican charism of preaching; 
  • to provide opportunities for members of the University and the community to understand and experience the meaning and value of Dominican education; and
  • to serve as a public voice at the University and in the community regarding issues of importance to the church, culture and society.

The Center for Dominican Studies at SWAG官网 focuses on the Dominican motto, 鈥淭o contemplate truth and share with others the fruits of this contemplation,鈥� and the four pillars of Dominican life: study, prayer, community and ministry.
