One Book Program

The Office of Undergraduate Studies is proud sponsor the Missouri S&T One Book Program, which incorporates a series of campus events focused on a single book. Incoming first-year students are expected to read this book during the summer before they arrive on campus, and the book will be taught in all English 20 classes during the 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 school years. Additional programming related to the book, including lectures, films, discussions, and a writing contest, will be scheduled throughout the these four semesters, and will be open to everyone.

The One Book Program enhances the intellectual life of the Missouri S&T campus by:

• providing all incoming students with a common intellectual experience
• promoting the value and importance of reading beyond the classroom
• offering multiple opportunities for stimulating discussions and critical thinking on a topic of social relevance and
• fostering a sense of community and connectedness among students, faculty and staff
