Summer Reading Program Discussion

Friday, August 23
11:15 am - 12:15 pm
various locations (see your personalized email and postcard)
all first-year students are expected to attend

Kick-off your morning by attending your summer reading group! A faculty/staff facilitator will lead a conversation about the summer reading book. It is encouraged that you spend some time with the book before your summer reading discussion group. However, discussing the book as a group will help you gain insights into One Size Fits None, no matter how much of the book you've read.

Farmer School of Business students should attend their summer reading group at 10:00 am, followed by your Academic College Welcome at 11:15am.

You are expected to attend your Summer Reading Program discussion. Groups are typically between 15-20 students, so your participation will be expected. If you are in a first-year experience class (e.g. UNV 101), you will likely meet with those students in your class.
