Main Campus First-Year Experience Common Read 2024
A great book builds connections, bringing a community together to discuss, debate and share in its story. This year, the First-Year Experience Common Read selection is The Art Thief by Michael Finkel. The book, which, according to Amazon, paints a “…spellbinding portrait of obsession and flawed genius.” As our first-year students read about Stéphane Breitwieser, who unlike most thieves, never stole for money, they will engage in a dialogue and discussions to foster an enjoyment of reading, build confidence in their critical thinking skills, and connect learning to creativity, curiosity, and fun. Be on the lookout for events and activities all throughout the fall semester (and during the School of Arts & Sciences celebration of STEAMtober in October) related to this year’s Common Read.
