Each year, a faculty advisory committee selects a book to be read by all incoming first-year students before they arrive. The goals of this program are to:
- Provide a common intellectual experience
- Engage in interdisciplinary dialogue and debate
- Build community around a shared understanding of relevant issues
- Celebrate the written word
- Offer opportunities for students to reflect on their roles as readers and learners
- Encourage campus-wide engagement with the book’s theme
For our third selection, the Â鶹´«Ã½ÔÚÏß Book Faculty Advisory Committee chose The Devil’s Highway, by Luis Alberto Urrea. We hope you enjoy reading The Devil’s Highway as much as we did!
