Session Description:
Designed to build community and academic engagement, common read programs are frequently part of the First Year Experience for incoming students. Common read programs may be led from within the academic library but require building program support across campus to realize their full potential. Panelists will provide insight into successful programs from a variety of academic settings, discussing creative approaches to programming, assessment, communicating value, and the sometimes politically-charged book selection process. Panelists will also share strategies for building curricular support for these primarily co-curricular programs.
