Code Girls: Library Resource Guide: Welcome

What is the Common Read?

All students, faculty, and staff read the selected literary work and participate in various opportunities throughout the academic year to engage in scholarly inquiry, broaden and deepen their understanding and responsiveness to social problems, promote dialogue and interdisciplinary exchanges, and seek opportunities to put the new learning into action.

Faculty members integrate the common read into each course for the academic year, inviting the students to explore the same piece of work through multiple lenses, an approach consistent with the liberal arts tradition.
