| Agency History | During spring semester 2001, the Director of First Year Experience hosted a round table discussion with faculty members from a variety of departments and members of the professional staff of student affairs at Bowling Green State University. The purpose of the discussion was to identify ways to create experiences for incoming first year students that would build community, yet have an academic tone. One of the ideas that surfaced was a common reading experience, by assigning books for students to read over the summer before classes begin. For a full analysis of the history of the program and its impact, see the history-related records in Box 5. |
