Have you read a good book lately that lends itself to a theme of “global stability, scarcity, and security” and would be suitable for freshman classes and programming at Washington State University?
The WSU-wide Common Reading Program announces that nominations for the 2019-20 book are now open. An online form may now be used to submit nominations, which will be accepted through Nov. 2. The required information is also listed on the nominations page for anyone who cannot access the online form. Based on recommendations from a faculty/staff selection committee, Provost Dan Bernardo will make the final choice.
Faculty and staff nominating books must provide a moderate amount of information. How does the book fit the theme, apply to a broad range of disciplines, and connect readers to, for example, existing university research, civic engagement areas, and global initiatives? How many pages does the book have, is it available in paperback, and is it a realistic read for freshmen? Additional questions are posed.
The next common reading book will be the 13th in as many years.
