Common Reading Program



About the Program

Laurier’s Common Reading Program invites all students entering the Faculty of Arts in September 2013 to share a reading experience. Each student will receive a free copy of Laurier’s chosen book in the summer, will have a chance to discuss the book with their peers, and will be invited to participate in orientation events focused on the book.

We hope in future years to extend the program to include all incoming students at Laurier.

Program Goals

  • Create a common experience for students
  • Develop a sense of community
  • Establish a focus for discussions and course-related activities
  • Ease the transition from high school to university
  • Promote a love of reading
