Common Ground Newletter

"We exist in relation to one another in this space of shared difference and commonalities. In our efforts to build communities, we gather, on Common Ground -- to break barriers and challenge ideas, to affirm experiences, and empower ourselves. Our lives, together with the words and images we leave behind allow us to relate and remember." -- Jon Salunga, 1997

Common Ground is the newsletter and calendar of the Cross-Cultural Center. Published regularly each quarter, it is a valuable space to share your ideas about issues, to publicize events, and gain valuable campus and community information.
