Summer Reading Overview
Now in its tenth year, Meredith's Summer Reading Program brings together students, faculty, staff and alumnae in a common reading experience. The program illustrates how understanding and involvement work together to create a community at Meredith.
The Summer Reading Book selection relates to the College's campus-wide theme each year. For 2008-09, Meredith will focus on environmental awareness, with a theme of ““Sustaining Our Environment: Developing Our Greenprint.”
This focus begins with the Summer Reading selection, “An Inconvenient Truth: The Planetary Emergency of Global Warming and What We Can Do About It,” by Al Gore.
