Has the institution chosen a sustainability-related theme for its themed semester, year, or first-year experience during the past three years?:
Yes

A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:

Consistent with the Elon University mission of nurturing a rich intellectual community, the Elon Common Reading Program (ECRP) challenges students, faculty and staff to examine themselves and the local and global worlds they inhabit through reading. The readings and related discussions aim not only to encourage critical reflection about important issues but also to invite personal consideration of how our individual actions affect these issues. Ultimately, the ECRP should engage the Elon community with ideas and issues that will influence their lives. The fall 2011 common reading is sustainability-related.


The sustainability-related book that was chosen, if applicable:
Creating a World Without Poverty: How Social Business Can Transform Our Lives by Muhammad Yunus
