Ranger Read Program
About the ProgramUW-Parkside is an institution that values Community, Diversity, and Inclusion! As an expression of these values, all incoming freshman have been asked to read a common book, The Pact, and to be prepared to discuss it as apart of Ranger Welcome Orientation.
The
institution has provided the book to you as a sign of our commitment
to your education. The goal of a common reading is to establish a greater
sense of community among students and to provide an introduction to
college life.
Inspired by a desire to bring faculty, administrators and students together
outside of a formal classroom. The Ranger Read Program hopes to:
- Provide new students with a common experience that will set the tone for the community by creating a comfortable, safe environment that is conducive to learning.
- Provide new students with an opportunity to begin exploring new perspectives and ways of viewing the world.
- Provide new students with an opportunity to develop relationships in their new community.
- Provide students with an opportunity to see and understand the importance of being engaged in their entire college experience.
