The Frank Meyer Seminars study the philosophy of a man President Reagan considered to be most identified with the formulation of modern conservative doctrine and its revival as a significant force in public policy and society.One student seminar attendee wrote, “I would definitely encourage anyone who wants to learn more about free market ideas, liberty, and Reagan's ideals to attend these seminars. They are enlightening and a definite must for young conservatives. I'm just disappointed that I am graduating soon and won't have the opportunity to attend another one!”
