Founded in 2007 by faculty, students, staff, administrators, and members of the broader community, the Adelphi University Collaboration Project developed as a means to support efforts related to social awareness and issues of peace and justice. Each year those participating will select a different theme and a new leadership team.
The project and activities are guided by these principles:
- Inclusion: Emphasis on cross-constituency participation supporting the active involvement and leadership of marginalized and underrepresented groups;
- Education: Fostering understanding about historical, contemporary and future global and local contexts and issues;
- Engagement: Democratic and civic involvement, service and action;
- Reflection: Ongoing analysis of process, representations and outcomes;
- Celebration: Joyful and creative recognitions and expressions; and
- Collaboration: Learning from and supporting each other’s experiences, efforts and concerns.
To achieve the broadest campus engagement, the project offers two initiatives. The first is the ICAN/WeCAN themed program, and the second is the Adelphi Community Reads Project which aims to bring the campus community together through a shared reading/book discussion experience. Details for each initiative are presented below.
ICAN/WeCAN 2011-2012: End Gendered Violence!
The Adelphi Collaboration Project is launching a campaign to end gendered violence. Please join us as we discuss the issues, but more importantly, work together to do something to end the violence.
