First-Year Reading Program   Tags: half a life, one amazing thing, peace like a river, persepolis, the other wes moore  

Since 2002 Marquette University has asked all incoming new students to read a common text and engage in a discussion during New Student Orientation. The Libraries offer research guides to help readers discover more about the author, book reviews, and library resources on the books' themes. See more about the First-Year Reading Program on the Office of Student Development website.
