UB Reads was designed to give the UB community - faculty, staff and students - a chance to explore and discuss topics of global impact through a shared reading experience. Each year, a new book is chosen by the UB community that reflects topics and issues of global importance.
The objectives of the program are:
- To expose first-year students to themes related to the goals of a successful first year experience
- To encourage and facilitate engaging discussions among faculty, staff, students, and families around a common theme
- To promote thinking critically about a text from a variety of perspectives
- To provide theme-based programming throughout the first semester
- To promote lifelong appreciation for out-of-class reading
