Freshman Reading Round-Up About the Meetings
All over campus on the day before classes begin this fall, professors and freshmen will meet to talk about a book they have read over the summer. This is an opportunity to read a great book, meet an outstanding faculty member, and to get acquainted with a small group of your fellow freshmen. Each Freshman Reading Round-Up session will last about an hour and a half.
Come to your Freshman Reading Round-Up meeting prepared for lively discussion and exchange. Expect an informal and relaxed atmosphere--you will not be grilled about details of the book or put on the spot.
What does the professor expect of you? Only that you read the book, arrive on time, participate as much as possible, and stay for the entire discussion. Be sure to check out a campus map to pinpoint where your group is meeting and to give yourself plenty of time to find the building and the room before the session begins.
We hope you'll come away from the Round-Up with at least a glimmer of what the University is about--a place where ideas abound, inquiry is encouraged, and discoveries--both large and small--happen every day.
