American Democracy Project North Central Regional Conference:
"Spaces of Civic Engagement"

Common Reading

The conference planning committee has identified a common reading for the conference that centers on the issue of sustainability. We hope you take the time to read this brief, but informative series of articles, and allow the articles to inform your program proposals and award applications.

The common reading consists of a series of three articles that appeared in the July/August 2006 edition of Public Purpose, the magazine of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, entitled "Educating for a Sustainable Society."

The three articles are "Save the Planet: One Campus at a Time," "Learn by Example" and "Sustainability in the Classroom," and may be accessed by clicking here (you will need Adobe Reader to view).
