poems, essays, photographs and drawings that focus on the relationships between
people and <b><span style='color:#31849B'>watersheds</span></b>. The project
was designed to nurture respect and appreciation for <b><span style='color:

land, plants, animals and habitats—and may include experiences participating in
a restoration or clean-up effort. “Literature” is broadly defined to include
fiction, poetry and essays in any area of study, including history, science,
philosophy or the arts. Black and white photos and drawings are encouraged,
either as separate submissions or as aids in clarifying and supporting written
work. Digital submissions are recommended. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

featured readings incorporating music (imagine San Francisco beats in the 50s
joining contemporary slam poets and jazz musicians with a little Robert
Browning and Gwendolyn Brooks in the mix) and have just launched an ongoing
favorite poetry project, inviting students and staff to offer poems to be
published online with the LBCC college newspaper. Future plans include working
with students in the Welding and Fabrication Program to design a poetry marquee
for a central campus poem display. The LBCC Poetry Advisory team has held a
local <i>Poetry for the Mind’s Joy </i>competition, created a gallery

the First Amendment and address topics that delve into the history and current
relevance of religious liberty. The 2010/2011 topic asks students to select a
minority religion from any time period in U.S. history, research and analyze
its history in their local community, state or region, evaluate how this
religious group’s local history compares to its place in the broader narrative
of U.S. history and First Amendment law, and address where it stands today. The
