Shepherd University Common Reading Program

Shepherd University Common Reading Program A new book is chosen each year for all to read and explore. Read the Book & Join the Conversation! (2002). First-Year Experience Newsletter (FYE), 143, 8-9.

Shepherd University's Common Reading Program was first formed in 2008 and celebrates its 16th anniversary in 2022-2023. The program is made possible through the support of the Shepherd University Foundation and private, individual donors. Common Readings have been prevalent at liberal arts colleges and universities for decades. Common Reading programs are designed “to provide a common academic exp

erience for all students (especially first-year) and to strengthen the academic atmosphere of the institution from the first day the student arrives on campus.” There are other benefits, such as connecting students to their peers and instructors and creating a unifying force in which all incoming students share from the very start of their educational journey.
