USI College of Liberal Arts to hold lecture discussing the process of selecting the next Pope

The University of Southern Indiana’s Political Science, Public Administration and Philosophy Department will host a lecture at noon on Thursday, May 1, in Kleymeyer Hall, addressing common questions such as: What happens when the Pope dies? What is a Conclave? How is the Pope elected? And who will be the next Pope? Dr. Matt Hanka, Professor of Political Science, will discuss the process of selecting the next Pope and how this has been done historically. This event is free and open to the public.   

Kleymeyer  Hall is located in the lower level of the Liberal Arts Center. A Zoom option will be available for anyone that cannot attend in-person. Registration is required.
