Goals of the New Student Book Experience include: welcoming new students into the intellectual life of the university, providing an experience common to all incoming students, providing a connection for each participating student to at least one faculty or staff member, providing students with an active learning opportunity that relates to the academic expectations of the campus, and creating an opportunity for critical thinking and ethical engagement.
