As we approach the twenty-first century these problems include equitably addressing the use and distribution of global resources, preventing nuclear war, and developing a mechanism to insure lasting peace. COA's mission is to equip students with the knowledge, understanding, enthusiasm, and sensitivity to solve such complex environmental and social problems from a humanistic perspective. This mission, therefore, makes COA different. It is not a college for everyone. Rather it is a college for the environmentally and socially committed individual. Being willing to take a stand on an issue, to show compassion for others, to recognize and promote the interconnectedness of all species and systems-all are characteristics of many students who choose COA. A necessary and exciting part of a college search is visiting colleges, determining whether a particular college's options and focus are right. If learning to be comfortable with uncertainty and solving problems humanistically are appealing, consider choosing COA. A liberal arts educa- tion at COA encourages individuals to think creatively and openly, to seek out solutions that reflect the interest not just of humans but of all natural systems.
