The B. Kenneth Simon Center for American Studies is dedicated to preserving the intellectual and moral underpinnings of our nation’s Founding. Self-government, ordered liberty, the institutions of republican governance, and civil society are vital in sustaining our nation. Through publications, public events, seminars, and other initiatives, our scholars seek to restore the principles of the American Founding in policymaking and public discourse. We also work to educate the next generation of conservative leaders in these enduring truths. We are, in a word, the center that safeguards the heritage of Heritage.
