(2011-12 is Uncommon Choices)

California State University Northridge - There are some clear advantages to sharing a campus-wide theme. For example, participating students can build on knowledge gained at early fall events as they attend later ones; publicity for any single element will be magnified through its attachment to the other elements; and separate budgets could even be combined to enable the campus to sponsor events and speakers that might otherwise be beyond our financial reach. (Theme for 2008-2009: The Economy, Consumerism, and Debt)

University of Michigan has theme semestersLSA Theme Semesters connect the great intellectual and cultural strengths of the University of Michigan to the issues defining our world today.

Other schools are beginning to appreciate this fact and are exploring water in cross-disciplinary ways. In academic year 2010-2011, for example, the University of Iowa announced a plan for a university-wide cluster hire initiative to add ten new faculty positions to advance research, education, and outreach on water sustainability.http://watersustainability.uiowa.edu In spring 2011, the New School in New York City organized an innovative week-long program called Water (Dis)Courses, which incorporated projects from design, fashion, architecture, urban planning, photography, film, environmental studies, politics, public health, and history.http://www.newschool.edu/events/waterweek/subpage.aspx?id=61738 Stetson University in Florida has designated academic year 2011-2012 Water Sustainability Year on campus, and has developed campus-wide programming accordingly.https://www.stetson.edu/secure/apps/wordpress/?p=17217 2Why Water?In the United States, water represents one of the great diplomatic and development opportunities of our time. Its not every day you find an issue where effective diplomacy and development will allow you to save millions of lives, feed the hungry, empower women, advance our national security interests, protect the environment, and demonstrate to billions of people that the United States cares, cares about you and your welfare. Water is that issue.

Through courses, public lectures, exhibitions, performances, and other events, the Water Semester will explore water from diverse perspectives, including water in art (as both medium and subject), water in literature, the role of water in shaping human history, the origins and physics of water on Earth and beyond, and exploration of the global water crisis and water sustainability on local, regional, and global scales.17Year of Water at Johns HopkinsSchool of Advanced International Studies (SAIS)Examined the critical role of water throughout the world as a special substantive theme for the 200809 academic year.

The Year of Water brought the SAIS community together to explore global water issues as they relate to economics and commerce, agriculture, the environment, new technologies, development and poverty, security, public health, and conflict and cooperation.

VISION: Campus-wide theme would further interdisciplinary scholarly, educational, outreach, global, and artistic goals

The idea of a campus-wide theme comes from the new Academic Plan and is meant to promote interdisciplinary and global scholarship and education. No process for establishing a theme was articulated in the Academic Plan and it seems wise to deeply involve the faculty in such decisions from the onset. 21The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the nations first public university, serves North Carolina, the United States, and the world through teaching, research, and public service. We embrace an unwavering commitment to excellence as one of the worlds great research universities.Our mission is to serve as a center for research, scholarship, and creativity and to teach a diverse community of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students to become the next generation of leaders. Through the efforts of our exceptional faculty and staff, and with generous support from North Carolinas citizens, we invest our knowledge and resources to enhance access to learning and to foster the success and prosperity of each rising generation. We also extend knowledge-based services and other resources of the University to the citizens of North Carolina and their institutions to enhance the quality of life for all people in the State.With lux, libertaslight and libertyas its founding principles, the University has charted a bold course of leading change to improve society and to help solve the worlds greatest problems.

Marine scientist Brian White joined the team in 2008.

The tanks total length is 120 feet. It can hold up to 13,500 gallons of water.We started doing fluid dynamics 10 years ago in a fish tank, Camassa said. The new wave tank tests whether their theories hold true after being scaled up.

His recent project on Mexico City wasprominently featured in the Washington Post. He has also done one on the Galapagos Islands http://www.livinggalapagos.org/which is simply stunning. He's now looking to update it with new technology. Given thetopic and the quality of his work, I think we could use it prominently topromote the water theme in theyears ahead; I've talked to him about this possibility and he's excited.He is looking for $12,000 to help offset the cost of the students working/traveling with him. If we each can pitch in $1,000, we can then go to Ron Strauss and BarbaraEntwistle to see if they can each kick in $4,000.Please let me know your thoughts and thanksfor considering it.
