The Common
Reading Experience: open to all
Read, reflect,
and act through the First-Year Common Reading Experience!
During the 2007-2008 academic year the Takoma Park/Silver Spring
Campus of Montgomery College will have the opportunity to come
together around the reading of Barbara Ehrenreich’s noteworthy
and best selling book Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By
in America. Although designed with the first year students
and faculty and staff who work with first year students, the
common reading is open to the entire campus community.
Participation: as much or a little as you like
Students,
faculty and staff will be encouraged to participate in lectures,
films, workshops, service learning, and classroom activities
centered on the themes in Ehrenreich’s New York Times
best seller. The Common Reading Experience is being formulated
by the First Year Experience (FYE) Team on the Takoma
Park/Silver Spring campus allowing participants to choose their
level of involvement.
Our
diversity is our strength
This
multi-disciplinary team is made up of faculty and staff from
around the campus devoted to offering enriching experiences and
resources to First Year students and the wider campus community
who chooses to participate in the Common Reading Experience.
Read, reflect, act!
