Community Book Connection

Each year that college selects a book that it recommends to the community. Students are urged to read the book, and faculty members are urged to include it or selections from it in their courses. A series of cultural and academic activities -- films, plays, dance performances, debates, panels, and lectures -- are organized to support the project.

The goals of the Community Book Connection are to enhance student and community learning; to strengthen our common human and intellectual bonds; and to demonstrate the many ways that classroom learning is deeply connected to our lives in the everyday world.

Our book selection for 2006-2007 is

The Things They Carried
