What a better way to connect students than through a common book? Each year, faculty, staff, and students select a new common reading for the fall semester. The book is incorporated into the UNIV 100 – University Success course, the BGeXperience ^SM Program, and the curriculum of other first year student courses.

A common reading experience is often seen as a great way for new students to embark upon the intellectual challenges of the college experience. In addition to discussing the book in the classroom, BGSU also hosts special events related to the content of the book throughout the fall semester.
