Because reading is so critical to long-term cognitive development and academic success, every year members of our faculty hand-pick books, with themes ranging from finance to metaphysical thriller, for our students to read over the summer. Then, faculty and students meet in small groups across campus and discuss general impressions, overarching themes, and critical analysis of the text.

This process provides a catalyst for students and faculty, who may have never met otherwise, to read great books together, discuss an array of topics, and bond over common interests.

This year's summer reading was a success in our book! We can't wait to find out what will be on next year's list!

We would like to thank our Library Sciences Chairperson, Ms. Melanie Scott, for organizing this year's successful summer reading program.
