A common reading program brings a campus community together around a shared text, creating opportunities for connection dialogue, and deeper learning. By engaging students, faculty, and staff with the same book, these initiatives foster critical thinking and encourage conversations across disciplines and diverse perspectives. Common readings also provide a shared starting point for exploring important social issues, linking classroom learning to real-world experiences, and strengthening students’ sense of belonging on campus.

鈥淐ommon readings鈥� play a strong role at many universities across the nation. Common Readings connect students to their peers and their campus. They promote critical thinking skills and discussion capabilities, and can be considered a 鈥渃ommon intellectual experience,鈥� one of the high impact educational practices recognized by AAC&U to benefit college students from many backgrounds (Kuh, 2008).

Through discussion, events, and related projects, the 1Book/1Program/2Transform program helps build a vibrant culture of engagement that extends beyond the classroom and into the broader community.
