Welcome to the One Book One Northwestern Project!
____
Northwestern invites you to participate in "One Book One Northwestern," our community-wide reading program hosted by the President's Office of the University. This year we are reading Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas Friedman's "Hot, Flat, and Crowded," which illuminates topics of great relevance for everyone concerned about the challenges and solutions to the global climate crisis. The goal of One Book is to create a common conversation throughout the campus community, including an ongoing discussion blog involving students, faculty, and staff across each of our campuses.
We invite all students to get involved in this all-campus conversation by reading the book and by participating in a wide range of student events, discussions and exhibits held throughout the year. One Book will culminate this year in a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, April 22, 2010.
This year's OBON project is hosted by the Initiative for Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern (ISEN). Contact us with your ideas or questions at: onebook@northwestern.edu
