The Common Theme Project was designed to “promote campus unity, conversation, and collaboration on timely issues that connect IUPUI to central Indiana and the world.” From its roots as primarily a freshman reading activity, the Project has evolved into the current Common Theme, “Change Your World: The Power of New Ideas” [http://www.iupui.edu/common_theme], which focuses on social entrepreneurship on a local and global level across the curriculum. This presentation will discuss the experiences of the librarian who has worked with the Common Theme since its inception and is currently the Faculty Fellow for “Change Your World” and will include how libraries can help bring people and resources together to help a campus program succeed, strategies that increase campus and community interest and support, and, how to achieve moving from project status to a permanent campus initiative that will enhance IUPUI’s commitment to community outreach and engagement. –Kathleen Hanna, Associate Librarian, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis
