A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
Westminster College’s annual theme, "Common Ground," offers members of the campus community an opportunity to engage in a year long discussion about compelling issues, ideas, and texts. College settings encourage the free exchange of ideas among people of diverse backgrounds and a common theme can help facilitate some of those conversations. Because of the college’s unique setting in the middle of a thriving urban center that is surrounded by the Wasatch mountain range, the Great Salt Lake, and miles of uninhabited desert, Westminster employs a “place-based” theme that rotates each year among desert, mountain, lake, and city. The theme for 2010-2011 is city.
