The purpose of this project is to support the development of a community of scholars at IUPUI engaged in the 2009-2010 Common Theme Project. This community of scholars will include students faculty and staff. The Common Theme Project is a new campus initiative that seeks to promote campus unity, critical reading, student research and cultural awareness through an annual discussion of a common book and theme. The theme title is Consuming Well for the Wealth of Communities, from IUPUI to the world.
