If you have anything to do with a college or university, the odds are you have a bit of down time right now. So NOW is the time to think about and take in community around you. When you are back in school in the Fall you will be fully engaged with academic pursuits – which is a good thing.
But almost without exception, that pursuit will take place on one of America’s most amazing potential centers for community activity, the college campus.
While you are out of school and off campus take a moment to do an inventory. What do you have on campus that you do not find in your community? Whatever that is, it is an asset that could draw your campus neighbors to your school and increase the interaction between your school and the town where your school is located.
Think of it as another kind of homework. Yes, I am asking you to take a bit of work home as the traditional definition implies. But think of it as considering ways you can make your campus more a home come, more a community, for everyone around.
Good part is, there will be no grades for this assignment!
