Abstract
The American West’s pueblos and reservations, villages and cities, ranches and resorts, farms and federal facilities, in collaboration with the region’s mountains, deserts, plains, canyons, mesas, valleys, rivers, lakes, and aquifers, along with a multitude of indigenous and transplanted plants and animals, request the honor of your presence at a celebration of the power of higher education to respond to, reckon with, and illuminate its setting and the lives of its complicated and engaging neighbors. Please RSVP before the end of the twenty-first century
