Notes for college symposium
Ruth Pittard
Use two 30hr segments with a mandala exercise after the first segment and with Council of All Beings in the second
Feeding the hunger for meaning exercise needed
Personal contact as much as possible, especially in assumptions and connection
More interactive
Too canned
Use other students in minor parts or hand out parts to students
Use students wherever possible
Places that are using the symposium: Boston Architectural College and Fairley Dickinson (Institute for Sustainability….)
Use questions for Soc. Justice and Spiritual awakening:
What do you think are the issues of ___________that are affection you today. (2 min. to think, 5 min. with group, then 10 min. to harvest and report)
Important places for resources: Youth Action Team, NJ Heps, Urban Center at U. Mich
Develop a fact sheet for the handout
Use college students to work with high school, high school to work with middle school and all the above to work with elementary school.
Discover some exercises from the John Seed (?) program
Active program for training college students to participate
Use Orientation programs, faculty and film departments
Use summer camps for large groups
Use dramatically different and innovative methods and social technologies
Concentrate on cutting through the despair: cut the where are we section substantially

Hello College Symposium stakeholders. My name is Bill Russell and I can be reached at wgrussell@sknworldwide.com. I was running around between Open Source gatherings and apparently did not leave an email for myself. I am an advisory board member of the University of Michigan's Erb Institute for Sustainable Enterprise and Fairleigh Dickinson University's Institute for Sustainable Enterprise in New Jersey. I look forward to working with each of you.
