Summary
The Common Read Program asks EC first-year students to engage in a shared reading experience. It is designed to build community by creating connections among students and professors while enhancing students’ transition to college, encouraging their intellectual growth and guiding them onto a successful academic path. EC’s Common Read Program supports the University’s mission of integrating teaching and scholarship, fostering creativity, integrity, and community service. The Common Read experience supports Goal Six of the University’s strategic plan—it fosters a collegiate environment that offers services and programming that promotes student engagement and success. EC’s Common Read Program also bridges the efforts of our University and those of off-campus intellectuals and professionals to bring about a positive change to the local community through discussion and dialogue.
