COWLES LIBRARY is launching a multi-year initiative to promote the importance of the democratic process as an instrument for managing the challenges of the 21st century.

Citizens Arise! From the Founding of a Nation to the Crisis of the Union will engage students, teachers and general public about the importance of global citizenship. Through exhibits, lectures and other special programming, Cowles Library will promote historical awareness, responsible discourse and dissent, and focused efforts toward sustaining democratic institutions.
