One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ History

One Book Logo

One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ is a campus-wide effort spanning the academic year that presents to the university a book worthy of close reading, discussion, course adoption, and the stimulation of dialog among all members of the campus community. The One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ Committee comprises of faculty, staff and students from across the University who make each year’s selection from a list of nominated books.

The nomination form is open to all members of the University community – faculty, staff, students, parents, alumni - and can be found on the One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ program’s website.

The One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ program is unique as it is a community reading program, not simply a first-year student initiative. Many University offices and academic departments – including Facilities Management, Dining Services, Student Life to name a few -  purchase copies for their staff and faculty. Furthermore, local community book clubs have also joined in and have affiliated themselves with the program. The One Book ¸ÌéÙÖ±²¥ has garnered a reputation among publishers as one of the premier college and university readings programs in the country.
