Freshman Common Read Program
About the ProgramAll incoming freshmen have been asked to read a common book and be prepared to discuss it as a part of Phase Two 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 Freshman Common 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.
