"War, its aftermath, and its alternatives, permeate our lives. From the very abstract to the intensely personal, from our familial relationships to national identities and global economies, our daily lives are shaped by the realities of conflict. The Common Theme - Waging War, Waging Peace - offers an interdisciplinary approach to engage individuals in conversations about our responsibilities as citizens and as a nation in an increasingly complex global world."
In the Hot Zone by Kevin Sites

The entire campus community is invited to participate in the Common Reading. Each semester we will select a new book that relates to the common theme.
The book may be purchased through The Phoenix Bookstore where 100% of the proceeds goes to benefit UWGB or online from Powell's Books. Powell's purchases will benefit the Friends of the Cofrin Library.
