Philosophers from across the United States will gather at Niagara University on April 18 and 19 for the eastern regional meeting of the Society of Christian Philosophers.

The conference, themed “Options and Issues in Applied Ethics,” will feature keynote addresses by Jorge Garcia of Boston College, Alexander Pruss of Baylor University and Gerald McKenny of the University of Notre Dame. Thirty-four other philosophers are scheduled to deliver papers on Christian perspectives on bioethics, business ethics, race studies and forgiveness.

Alexander U. Bertland, Ph.D., assistant professor of philosophy at Niagara, is serving as conference coordinator.

The Society of Christian Philosophers was organized in 1978 to promote fellowship among Christian philosophers and to stimulate study and discussion of issues which arise from their Christian and philosophical commitments.

Niagara University’s Center for Supply Chain Excellence will host its eighth annual management conference April 30 from 2 to 8 p.m. at the Conference Center Niagara Falls, 101 Old Falls St., Niagara Falls. The keynote speaker will be Roger W. Kallock, former deputy undersecretary of defense for logistics.

The conference is for companies facing high freight rates, the truck shortage, high fuel costs, and pressure to cut freight costs from upper management. Seminar details will include controlling freight costs, including short- and long-term strategies, problems facing traffic management, freight rates, structures and terminology.

Kallock has more than

40 years of industry, consulting and government supply-chain experience centered on improving both customer confidence in logistics support and financial performance. His career has focused on management improvement programs in many industries, including consumer products, retail, industrial products, automotive, health care, and information technology.
