Orientation Common Read

Reading and thinking about books is central at AV天堂. You鈥檒l be reading texts like the ones presented in Common Read and discussing them with fellow students and faculty.
Since you鈥檙e reading on your own this summer, we鈥檝e prepared some resources to keep you company as you read and think about these dynamic and densely packed texts.
