Yes
A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
Each Fall the Book of the Year Committee takes nominations and the finalists are then voted on by the student body. The winning book for the next academic school year is announced and HSU brings the author of the book to the university.
Faculty, staff and administrators at Humboldt State incorporate the Book of the Year into the curriculum and apply its insights to their work on campus. Every year HSU hosts one-unit book discussion classes as well as other events associated with the book and its themes.
Previous winners have included 'Outliers, The Story of Success' by Malcolm Gladwell, 2012-2013, 'The Help' by Kathryn Stockett (2011-2012), and 'Three Cups of Tea' by Greg Mortenson and David Oliver Relin (2009-2010).
The sustainability-related book that was chosen, if applicable:
