About Campus Read
WVU's Campus Read engages University campuses and the broader community through
a common reading experience, fostering dialogue, critical thinking and community
participation. Organized by the WVU Honors College, the Campus Read aims to:
- Introduce students to the intellectual climate of the campus.
- Facilitate discussion, stimulate curiosity and provide a platform for deeper learning across disciplines.
- Help new students make connections, acclimate to their new environment and have a common intellectual experience.
- Further WVU’s commitment to finding purpose and defining our own stories.
