Connect Globally with Go Big Read

What will be the next big read?!
The Go Big Read selection committee is now accepting your recommendations.

The theme for 2013-2014 will be that of "global connections".

What have you read lately that evokes that theme?
An ideal book for this program (fiction, too) will possess the following qualities:
  • Be readable (relevant, engaging, and well-written)
  • Appeal to individuals with diverse backgrounds and experiences
  • Encompass sufficient depth and scope to generate discussions from different points of view
  • Be conducive to teaching and learning with opportunities for integration into academic programs
  • Lend itself to a variety of activities and programming (maybe even an author visit!)
The deadline for submitting a recommendation is February 1, 2013.

The Go Big Read Review Committee will sift through the nominations on behalf of the Chancellor who will then propose the final selection.
