Common Read Experience provides students the opportunity to grow through civil dialogue

Encourage your student to dive into their Binghamton University career by taking part in the Common Read Experience! All incoming new students will receive a copy of this year’s book, I Never Thought of It That Way by Monica Guzman, a customized drawstring tote bag and a bookmark listing great campus resources when they arrive at Orientation. Reading, growing and engaging in civil dialogue to bridge our differences are all integral to the University experience.
