WELCOME TO THE IU SOUTHEAST COMMON EXPERIENCE
An annual program designed to cultivate a common intellectual conversation across campus, to strengthen the sense of community at Southeast and in the region, to encourage open discussion, civil discourse, and critical thinking, and to enhance the reputation of Southeast as a regional center of learning excellence.

Each of these faculty members is using one or both of this year's Common Experience Readings, The Working Poor: Invisible in America by David K. Shipler (2005) and A Country for All: An Immigrant Manifesto by Jorge Ramos (2010), in their classes in the fall and/or spring semesters. Their students will be attending and participating in many of the events associated with the Common Experience program.
