This is the last week to nominate titles for consideration as the 2025–26 WSU Common Reading, with a deadline to submit nominations by Monday, April 22. The selection committee welcomes nominations of books in any genre and on any topic that could spark multidisciplinary campus-wide conversation, classroom use, and activities. The nomination form is available at commonreading.wsu.edu.
The program also encourages instructors and programs across the university to consider use of the 2024–25 Common Reading, Priya Fielding Singh’s How the Other Half Eats: The Untold Story of Food and Inequality in America. All incoming first-year students across the system will be receiving paperback copies of the book in August, thanks to funding from the Provost’s Office. Links to request an exam copy, information on the book, and options for inexpensive student access are also available on the Common Reading site.
