The first Summer New Students Orientation session is just around the corner. We are so excited to be welcoming our first group of students from the class of 2018 to campus! While the two days of Summer NSO will be jam-packed with information, advising, testing and of course getting to know your classmates, we are also excited that you will be receiving a copy of this year’s Common Read selection – Orange is the New Black by Piper Kerman. For those of you coming later in the summer – don’t worry, we will not be running out of copies anytime soon. Those are just the tip of the iceberg!
After you receive your copy of the book there are plenty of ways to stay engaged as more and more of your classmates get their copy. Check back here on the blog for regular video updates with thoughts from current UMass students as well as posts regarding the book, upcoming programs and some fun competitions to be involved with. You can also check on the Common Read website for regular updates or follow us on Twitter at @UMassCommonRead.
