Each year since 1993, the University has selected a book for all first year students. The goal of the First Year Book Program (FYB) is to provide a shared intellectual experience for all new students along with the opportunity to discuss the book from a variety of disciplines. Courses, departmental lectures, living/learning programs and student groups all sponsor events that complement a major address by the author and/or other important visitors to campus.

The Student Learning Outcomes for the First Year Book program include:

  • Students are able to identify the main issues in the First Year Book
  • Students understand the relationship between the issues from the First Year Book and their academic subjects
  • Students are able to articulate a well thought out opinion on the issues raised by the First Year Book
