Email: [email protected] eJournal of Public Affairs, 4(3) INNOVATIVE IDEAS IN CIVIC ENGAGEMENT Abstract While civic engagement continues to be a buzzword in political science, there is still a lack of discussion about what practices work, and in what context. In particular, are there certain initiatives to engage that do particularly well at two- year colleges versus larger universities? What about colleges with diverse student populations? At the 2014 annual meeting of the Midwest Political Science Association, seven scholar-teachers came together to discuss civic engagement at their respective institutions and to share ideas about what worked. Collectively, we represented a diverse group of institutions, including teaching and research universities as well as multi-campus community colleges.

I’m very excited to present the work within this issue and genuinely hope you enjoy reading through. In terms of quality, I think this collection is of high caliber and the artists contained within these pages are truly talented individuals, the sort of work I hope you’ve come to expect from Corvus.

We’ve also hit over 1300 followers on Twitter and connected with many other little lit journals, talented editorial staff members, and contributors. We’ve also gained the attention of the Facebook community via our Facebook page. In short, it’s been both wonderful and rewarding to see this journal grow and develop, thanks primarily to our contributors and charitable donors. Corvus has also begun to offer writing services through Corvid Editing Services. Pop by www.corev.ink for more info.

    Gee You Are You Gee You Are You Krishna Prem (Michael Mogul) Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Copyright © 2011 by Michael Mogul (Krishna Prem) All rights reserved. No part of this book may be reproduced in any form or by any electronic or mechanical means including information storage and retrieval systems, without permission in writing from the author. The only exception is by a reviewer, who may quote short excerpts in a review. Printed in the United States of America First Printing: July, 2011 ISBN-978-1-61364-318-1 About the Author Gee You Are You is a book about a life’s journey from here to here. On the front cover is a picture of me at thirty-three years of age, sitting on a cold marble floor in front of my teacher and friend, Osho, in Pune, India. On the back cover I am the ripe old age of sixty-six. As Bob Dylan once sang, “Oh, but I was so much older then, I’m younger than that now.” Yes, my body is now twice as old and yet I feel half my age… the magic of meditation. Through my years of peeling the layers of my own onion, I have turned my life from maditation in the outer world to meditation in my inner world. While reading this book, you will be constantly challenged to witness that you are not so much your conditioning in the marketplace of your hometown, but more that the world is appearing in you… that you are not the mind.

    Sophie’s World Jostien Gaarder Reviews: More praise for the international bestseller that has become “Europe’s oddball literary sensation of the decade” (New York Newsday) “A page-turner.” —Entertainment Weekly “First, think of a beginner’s guide to philosophy, written by a schoolteacher ... Next, imagine a fantasy novel— something like a modern-day version of Through the Looking Glass. Meld these disparate genres, and what do you get?

The book will serve as a first-rate introduction to anyone who never took an introductory philosophy course, and as a pleasant refresher for those who have and have forgotten most of it...
