  • CRC Common Read Project

The Common Read project provides a common topic for discussion and supports our mission to develop as an intellectually engaged learning community. The CRC Common Read Project is a catalyst for students to make discovery, innovation, scholarship, and community engagement an integral part of their CRC experience at UW. All CRC students receive a copy of a common book over the summer and we request that they read it by fall. Over the course of the fall semester we will have discussions, programs, presentations, events, and even a contest connected to the themes of the book. Learn more about this year’s book selection by going to the Common Read Project page.

Involvement with the CRC Common Read Project could include:

  • Assisting with book selection
  • Assisting in program planning connected to the book
  • Assisting in designing discussion questions and guides
  • Reading the book and having discussions with students
  • Selecting essay contest winners

If you have any questions or would like to receive a book, please contact, April Marlewski, at April.Marlewski@housing.wisc.edu.
