Washington University Cooperative Network's Interests
|
| General | Cooperative living, community building, and sustainability. Healthy living, cooperative learning, and saving our planet, with a sense of humor. | | Music | We love music! Come play at our Monday evening Co-op Cafe! | | Movies | We love movies! We sometimes show them at our Monday evening Co-op Cafe, when we cannot get a band to play, or a comedian to perform. | | Television | Some of us hate TV, but we have a number of serious "Lost" fans, many fans of "The X-Files," and every Superbowl Sunday, we have an "Unhealthy Living Party," with greasy food that we normally avoid. | | Books | The Moosewood Cookbook | | Heroes | We are all different, so we have diverse heroes. |

Washington University Cooperative Network's Blurbs |
About me:
The Washington University Cooperative (www.washucoop.com) was founded in Spring 2003, and became a Student Union group in Spring 2004, after we organized our core group by means of a rotating pot luck series. Since Autumn 2004 we have provided alternative off-campus housing for Washington University Undergraduates, in two University-owned buildings, "The Perry," and another building, next door. Non-students may reside in the Cervantes House, across the street, a privately owned Coop annex. We are working to expand our Cooperative Network, and to create an open Coop Campus, including residence for graduate students, faculty, staff, and neighbors. We have compiled a model Guide for Cooperative Living. The Coop's educational outreach division is the Cervantes Free University and Learning Cooperative, www.cfu-lc.com, www.washucoop-library.com (http://groups.myspace.com/cervantesfreeuniversity)
The Perry's basement has been renovated to serve as a venue for community events. The WashU Coop works closely with the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council and the CoLibri Coop (the St Louis NASCO affiliate), and other local cooperatives.
The WashU Coop has no official RA or Faculty Associate, because we all play those roles to each other, helping and teaching each other, and ensuring a safe and healthy environment to share.
The WashU Coop's Six Pillars, established by the Founders, are:
Community Building
Environmental Sustainability
Healthy Living
Social Responsibility
Cooperative Learning
Leadership
Here are some other Coop Core Values:
Diversity
Integrity
Gravity
Levity
Our Committees seek to promote these Pillars, and are open to anyone, not only Coop residents.

Who I'd like to meet:
Other Cooperators and Cooperatives! Also bands, comedians, businesses, diverse advocacy groups (although we endorse nothing in particular), and politicians (although we endorse nobody), in line with Washington University's controversial "Neutrality Policy." We honor our own "Pluralism Policy," perhaps best expressed by Gene Rodenberry, "Infinite diversity in infinite combinations."
