A group of seniors from the Comprehensive Leadership Program (CLP) is working to bring a non-profit publication called One World to campus by the end of this semester.
While studying abroad several years ago, a student from St. Louis University developed the idea for the magazine. One World was his way for people on campus to discuss global issues and experiences. Since its debut, the magazine has branched out to 14 schools nationwide.
Senior Katie Collins is starting this project at Gonzaga.
Collins first encountered the magazine while visiting Santa Clara University over the summer. With all of the social justice interest at Gonzaga, she thought One World had a good chance of being successful on campus.
"We live in a bubble, but we are looking for a way to bring Gonzaga to the outside world," Collins said.
Collins, along with four other seniors in the CLP, decided to take the publication on as a senior legacy project. Members of the executive board for the project are seniors Christine Duffy, Melinda Shelton, Daniel Talevich and Katie Bates, as well as Collins.
Each of the members on the board studied abroad last year in various locations, including Florence, El Salvador, Ireland, London and South Africa. All of these students were inspired by their time overseas to bring some global awareness home with them.
"I want people to realize what connectivity there can be by sharing our stories," Bates said.
As a part of the CLP's senior legacy project, One World will embrace a variety of issues, ranging from experiences abroad to opinions on social matters.
Students and faculty can submit pieces on almost anything pertaining to social justice. Past stories have been about such issues as Hurricane Katrina and the crisis in Darfur.
Anyone can become involved, and getting involved is easy. The magazine should write itself, Collins said.
"If students don't have a cause they're behind, they can find one here. This is a big world. We all need to get involved," Duffy said.
