Our Common Reading Program

Macalester College welcomes new students to its engaged community of learners through MacReads: Our Common Reading Program. Reading and sharing ideas with others is central to the college learning experience. Through the MacReads program we introduce you to this process and some of our shared values: critical engagement with ideas, dialogue with members of the Macalester community, internationalism, and reflection on what it means to be an active, responsible global citizen. This year's Common Reading for 2011 is What is the What by Dave Eggers.
