Welcome to the IU Southeast Common Experience.
Members of the local communities of Indiana and Kentucky are encouraged to join us for the fourth year of the Common Experience program. The theme for the 2009-10 academic year is "Health and Humanity in the New Millennium: Where Do We Go From Here?" There will be a series of campus events such as speakers, panel discussions, children's activities, book discussions, and movies centering on the theme and the books. Most of these events will be free to the community. The IU Southeast community of students, staff, and faculty invites you to read with us the following Common Experience texts - My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult and The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan. The two books were selected because they illustrate the theme and will generate discussions about our responsibility for health and humanity in the U.S. and around the world, as well as policy decisions that impact the health of us all, as well as and the potential consequences for failure to live up to these responsibilities. We hope you will join us during the 09-10 academic year for the IU Southeast COMMON EXPERIENCE!
