Sustainability's the watchword at Texas Christian University, with the Student Affairs folks actually declaring that "Think Purple, Live Green" shall be the "theme" for the fall semester. (A theme for the semester? O... K....)
Dr. Keith Whitworth, Prof. of Sociology and environmental activist, is one of the organizers of this whole semester theme business, along with Dr. Barbara Brown Herman, TCU Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Dean of Student Development.
Beer and cheesedoodles: BRILLIANT!
Says Prof. Whitworth: “The primary goal of the theme semester is to encourage members of the TCU community to participate in sustainable activities and learn how they can lower their carbon footprint."
Turns out there have been previous semester themes, such as "Politics and Principles" ('04) and "Rights, Responsibilities, Respect ('07).
For 2009's semester theme, I'm going to write in "Beer & Cheesedoodles." (Hopefully it hasn't already been taken.)
