Request an e-copy of “Born a Crime,” the 2020-2021 WSU Common Reading

As you wind up spring 2020 and look ahead to the coming year, might you be interested in a good read that you’d like to consider for use in a class or program? Teaching faculty as well as staff working with student programs are invited to request a digital exam copy of Born a Crime, the 2016 memoir by Trevor Noah that has been selected as next year’s WSU Common Reading book. To request an e-copy, visit the Common Reading website: https://commonreading.wsu.edu/request-a-copy/

The Common Reading Program hosts weekly events throughout the academic year centered on topics raised by that year’s book.  Events for 2020-2021 will include topics on identity, belonging, equity and inclusion, institutional racism, memoir, and more. Please note that due to warehouse closures, only e-copies are available for request this year.

If you have questions or programming suggestions, contact Karen Weathermon, Director of First-Year Programs, kweathermon@wsu.edu.
