BUUIC Community

It's time to examine 'community'.  We are all a community... some of us have different roles... What is our community?  What place to English play in this community?  I have a hypothesis, that English doesn't play the dominate role it should... which I'm assuming will be surprising considering our school is based on an English curriculum... what learning, English learning takes place outside the classroom... how many students seek opportunities?  Will I get answers?
