Why Water? “In the United States, water represents one of the great diplomatic and development opportunities of our time. It’s not every day you find an issue where effective diplomacy and development will allow you to save millions of lives, feed the hungry, empower women, advance our national security interests, protect the environment, and demonstrate to billions of people that the United States cares, cares about you and your welfare. Water is that issue.” U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton World Water Day 2010

Question Is there consensus on submission of a Faculty Council resolution, endorsing the idea of a campus-wide theme of water, to be presented for a vote at the December 9th Faculty Council meeting? Should the Faculty Council form a Campus Theme Steering Committee or Advisory Committee to take leadership on how to implement this or any future campus theme?

Benefits of a Campus-Wide Theme • “Effective way of cultivating the strong sense of community” • “Participating students can build on knowledge gained at early fall events as they attend later ones” • “Publicity for any single element will be magnified through its attachment to the other elements” • “Separate budgets could even be combined to enable the campus to sponsor events and speakers that might otherwise be beyond our financial reach” • “Unify and connect the many disciplines and campus events throughout the university with a central theme and promote a dialog among the campus, community and abroad concerning specific related topics”
