LTC Lunch: A Different Possibility for a Common Reading (Feb. 18)

Is it possible to have the benefits of a common reading for first‑year students without adding to the workload of faculty and staff members? Carleton abandoned the idea of a common reading due to workload issues at the busy time of the start of a new year. Vassar had a similar experience, but has brought the common reading back using an online forum that greatly reduces the need for  faculty or staff involvement. This program will feature the Dean of Freshmen from Vassar, discussing what has worked well or not so well in their revival of the common reading concept. Presenter: Susan Zlotnick, Dean of Freshmen, Department of English, Vassar College
