We are excited about continuing a new campus-wide program – UNF Reads! – designed to ease the transition to college level work. Over the summer all incoming freshmen and many faculty, staff members, and upper division students will read A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future by Daniel H. Pink. In the Fall semester the whole campus will engage in multiple activities and events creating a community-wide discussion of the book. This will create a common intellectual experience focusing on ideas that cut across much of the general education curriculum.
- To create a university-wide learning community;
- To provide students with models for academic discourse and opportunities to engage in effective discussion;
- To demonstrate that important issues and new ideas cross disciplinary boundaries.
In addition, many sections of the freshman course, College Writing, will be using A Whole New Mind as a basis for developing critical thinking and analytical writing skills. Concepts from the book will also be introduced and integrated into the curriculum in selected social science general education courses. All freshmen will receive a copy of the book at orientation.
