HAC conferences address contemporary issues from multiple disciplinary perspectives. The program consists of a series of lectures and panel discussions featuring prominent historians, journalists, political theorists, and public intellectuals. Students had opportunities to engage directly with the speakers, High School/college students and faculty from other schools through Q&As, breakout sessions, coffee breaks, and more. 

The HAC is named in honor of Hannah Arendt, one of the foremost political philosophers of the twentieth century.
