Considering Garbology for your 2014-15 Classes? Common Reading Program has desk copies available

Desk copies of the 2014-15 Common Reading book, Garbology, by Edward Humes, are available to Pullman faculty and staff who are considering using the book for a course or program.

In your request to kweathermon@wsu.edu, please include:

  • Name/title of the course/program

In exchange for receiving a desk copy, it is requested that you:

  • Provide the Common Reading Program with information about your use of the book or related topics in the course/program
  • Have a conversation about the book with at least one student–ideally an incoming first-year student.

Opportunity:  Topics in the book may inspire you and/or your students to “make the connections” in new ways beyond expert lectures and films…for example, eco-challenges, dumpster/trash analyses, upcycling, civic engagement projects, design and creative arts projects, and more.

Send your requests and ideas to: kweathermon@wsu.edu
