SUMMARY:Soonish Sustainable City Projects: Displays by SOE 110 students
DESCRIPTION:Presented in Ensminger Pavilion \n  \nCities are complex systems of energy\, food\, water\, people\, and infrastructure. Cities house most of the world’s population and are places where many decisions about the environment occur. Many people in cities may live their entire lives without leaving their urban setting\, perhaps not even realizing how connected their health and well-being are to the ecosystem outside\, and sometimes even within\, the urban area. Energy\, water\, and food quality as well as accessibility vary from city to city\, and local and regional environmental conditions can have a large impact on how a city functions and how it plans for future sustainability. \n  \nCome and see poster presentations by School of the Environment students in SOE 110 that showcase a semester’s worth of research\, analysis\, systems thinking\, and planning for solutions for many of the world’s mega-cities. It will be a wonder of “soonish” possibilities that may improve and/or ruin everything! Verification of attendance at this Common Reading event will be available. \n

SUMMARY:DEADLINE for book nominations for next common reading
DESCRIPTION:The Common Reading Program announces that nominations for the 2019-20 book WILL CLOSE THIS EVENING. An online form is at https://CommonReading.wsu.edu/Nominations. \n“The next book will be the thirteenth in as many years\,” said Susan Poch\, co-director of the program with Karen Weathermon since 2007. “Thousands of WSU students have gone through the program since it began\, and benefitted from classroom discussions and faculty- and guest-expert lectures based on topics raised in each book. \n“The common reading helps first-year and other students experience new ideas and create new and academically focused networks with professors and other students. The program is carefully designed to stimulate critical thinking and strengthen forms of communication around a single book.” \nNomination requirements \nFaculty and staff nominating books must provide a moderate amount of information. How does the book fit the theme\, apply to a broad range of disciplines\, and connect readers to\, for example\, existing university research\, civic engagement areas\, and global initiatives? How many pages does the book have\, is it available in paperback\, and is it a realistic read for freshmen? Additional questions are posed in the online form. \nFor anyone unable to access the online form\, the questions are listed on the nominations webpage; view those questions and submit your answers by email to commonreading@wsu.edu\,
