What is the Freshman Summer Reading Program?
The Freshman Summer Reading Program is a new University initiative that is designed to provide students with a common academic learning experience during the freshman year. All FAMU freshmen are required to read an assigned book and complete a writing assignment before arriving on campus in August for Welcome Week. During Welcome Week students will participate in small book discussion groups and attend a campus-wide book forum. During the academic year students will be given assignments in various courses based on the assigned reading.
