The Commons Project is part of the local societies initiative at DePauw University sponsored by the Metanexus Institute. The Commons Project is a return to the idea that the community can come together in ways that display humility, civility, and curiosity as public issues relating to science and religion are explored and debated. At DePauw, the community consists of faculty, staff, and students. The Commons Project consists of many varied activities including:
