Wichita State Common Read 2024: My Broken Language

My Broken Language by Quiara Alegría Hudes

WSU Common Reads 2024-2025

Wichita State Common Read

The Wichita State Common Read was initiated by the Office of First Year Programs to provide students a common experience in their first year at Wichita State University. For the 2023-2024 academic year, the Wichita State Common Read committee has selected My Broken Language by Quiara Alegría Hudes. As a common read experience, all new students receive a copy, and the novel will be incorporated into First-Year seminar classes, Honors 101 as well as various programs outside of the classroom.
