Can we disagree yet find common ground?

With another contentious political season upon us Engage magazine explores civility’s intersection with democracy in America and how we, as a people, live within its definition. How can we differ and disagree without letting larger, splintering forces rip apart our democracy?

This issue also includes stories about:

• The success of UW Oshkosh’s Model United Nations alumni who are, indeed, models of civic engagement and civility across the nation.

• UW Oshkosh’s version of the This I Believe project, which is a national dialog about every day, personal values and beliefs.

•  UW Oshkosh senior Kevin Kropp who earned the University’s 2012 Volunteer of the Year Award as an outstanding student leader.
