Common Reading Program
We are entering into a second year of a learning communities program common read. All first-year learning community students will be asked to read This I Believe: The Personal Philospohies of Remarkable Men and Women, edited by Jay Allison and Dan Gediman, before they join our campus community this fall. Our intention is that this program will:
connect students between different learning communities and provide a connection between different disciplines;
add depth and meaning to the Make a Difference service project;
give students something to talk about beyond hometown, major, etc. right from their first day on campus;
and provide opportunities to connect the learning communities program with the Mankato community, parents, and the rest of campus.
For a list of events and activities associated with the common read, please visit the common read website.
