2013 Summer Reading Program

Welcome to the 15th Annual Summer Reading Program offered by the Schreyer Honors College. Each year a literary committee of Schreyer Scholars reviews nominated titles, discusses the top choices, and recommends a slate of books for selection. During orientation in August, SHO TIME mentors moderate small group book discussions of the selected titles.
