Ask Big Questions

Ask Big Questions (sponsored by the Office of Religious andSpiritual Life, Goucher Hillel, and Goucher Christian Fellowship) is a campus-wide initiative that encourages our community to reflect on several important topics each semester. By asking these questions-What is love? What borders haveyou crossed? What do you believe? Where are you going?, and others-and answering them in simple and complex, literal and figurative ways, with discussion, art work, and interactive displays, we start to slow down, to wonder, to learn from and grow with each other.

In addition to ABQ programs, there are on-going opportunities for all members of the community to be part of "ABQ:  Ask Big Questions.” 

• Find a post-it in the residence halls or near the banners and write a response to the question. Responses will be collected and added to the blog.
• Read the table tents in the dining halls and talk with friends at a meal.
• Share stories and thoughts at the start of a meeting.
• Use the question to program a meeting or build community with your residence hall floor, your athletic team, or your academic department.
• Watch a film related to the question.  Some suggestions include:  Defending Your Life, Groundhog Day, American Beauty, and The Notebook.

ABQ started at Northwestern University.  To read responses from their students, go to http://www.askbigquestions.com/week6/what-day-in-your-life-would-you-like-to-live-over/.
