Common Reading Program

An Opportunity for Discussion

In addition to many opportunities you will have to connect with your new classmates and during Orientation, you'll also have chances to interact with faculty, staff and administration. The Common Reading Program held during orientation is one such opportunity. Faculty, staff and administration from all areas of campus volunteer to discuss the common reading that all incoming students are expected to complete before their arrival to campus in August. Consider the Common Reading Program as an introduction to academic life at Millersville University. It's your chance not only to meet new people but also to talk with members of the faculty, staff and administration in a meaningful discussion. It is also a chance to realize that a true education involves informal discussions as well as classroom lectures.

Common Reading Program Aims:

• In the spirit of liberal learning, a common reading provides a shared intellectual experience for all members of the Millersville University Community.
• To provide an opportunity for students to meet and interact with a member of the Millersville University faculty in an informal discussion, outside the boundaries of the classroom and formal academic requirements.

The book for Fall Orientation 2007 is The Color of Water by James McBride. The book is available at the Millersville University School Store for a discounted price.
