Our aim is to engage the campus community (faculty, staff, and students) in an extended, academic dialogue focused around one broad issue. Films, guest lecturers, panel discussions, teach-ins, Chautauqua, and artists help create rich learning opportunities for deepening the understanding of our theme.

In addition to educating our campus community, we wish to encourage community members from the greater Spokane region to attend, and in some cases participate, in all the events that will be publicized through a variety of venues throughout the year.
