Breaking Down The Silos At Rio Hondo

Yesterday I saw the post by Dr. Vann Priest titled Where Should We Teach? During my drive home I heard a story on the show Market Place on "How the U.S. can fix its political infighting". Toward the end of the story the speaker recommended that our legislators be forced to drink together.
Dubner: The other idea I have is a little bit easier, probably more fun: re-institute mandatory bi-partisan cocktail hour, every night of the week.
Ryssdal: We could do beer. Beer would be all right.
Dubner: We could do beer.
I think this will work at Rio Hondo too. The previous Administration tried to separate us  into various silos of Academic Senate and Faculty Association, CSEA and Faculty, Management and everyone else. We can break down these silos and get to know each other once again by sitting together over a glass of beer or wine. The question is where?
