A brief description of the themed semester, year, or first-year experience:
In October 2000, a Task Force on a Common Reading Program was formed by Faculty Assembly following a proposal from the Academic Policies Council to explore the feasibility of a summer reading initiative for the campus. Faculty and staff would incorporate the book selected into the early classroom experiences of students. The goal was to highlight through activities early in the academic year what we value as an academic community, including critical thinking, engagement with ideas, and interaction with faculty and staff.
The ORI book selected for the 2008-2009 school year was the Sustainability themed Field Notes from a Catastrophe by Elizabeth Kolbert.
