Academic First Year Experiences has scheduled several faculty-staff discussions of Becoming Nicole this year's Freshman Common Read selection.
RSVP: x 6535 or email Susanna Eng-Ziskin
You do not have to have read the book already to attend, so if you want to learn a little about the book before you read it, we would be happy to have you join us! And if you do not yet have a book, but you want one, we have an offer for you!
CSUN faculty and staff who would like a free copy of the book are welcome to request one by email (susanna.eng@csun.edu), by phone (818-677-6535), or in person: SH 422, Undergraduate Studies on the Roof. The usual deal will apply: one free copy in exchange for your promise to speak about the book with at least one new freshman in fall 2018. Some possible conversation starters:
"I see you are reading Becoming Nicole. How do you like it so far?"
"I read this book over the summer. I thought the most powerful part was __________. Have you read that part yet?"
"Are you reading this book for a class? Which one?"
"Did you go (are you going to go) to Freshman Convocation? I heard that the keynote speaker was (will be) really interesting."
Offer valid while supplies last.
