For the past ten years, WCU has selected an interdisciplinary theme for campus conversations, curricular and co-curricular connections, and enrichment. The primary focus is to educate and to offer a holistic look at something through multiple lenses.
Campus themes constitute one example of a high impact practice that provides students
with common and collaborative educational experiences, opportunities to connect curricular
and co-curricular learning, and explorations of disciplines through a common framework.

The mission of the One Book program is to engage first-year students, as well as the
campus community, in a common intellectual experience that promotes critical thinking
and interdisciplinary conversation. This years' One Book is: We Need to Talk: How
to Have Conversations that Matter.

Sustainability and the Environment. Events include documentaries, gallery displays,
town halls, speakers, panels, trips and more. Explore the events on campus as we spend
