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

Faculty and staff who would like to consider use of Trevor Noah’s 2016 memoir “Born a Crime” for use in the coming academic year may request an exam e-copy on the Common Reading Program website.

Extensive programming about systemic racism is being planned to complement the book’s use at the 2020 Common Reading text for all campuses. If you have ideas about programming, or how your unit might like to participate, please contact Karen Weathermon, Director of First-Year Programs, kweathermon@wsu.edu.
