Wichita State Common Read 2024: Eat Like a Fish

Eat Like a Fish: My Adventures as a Fisherman Turned Restorative Ocean Farmer by Bren Smith

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 2024-2025 academic year, the Wichita State Common Read committee has selected Eat Like a Fish by Bren Smith. 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.

Please join us in Ablah Library for a book discussion in August! We hope all first-year seminar instructors and Common Read discussion leaders can come, but everyone is welcome to join us. Held XXXX in Ablah Library. See the University Libraries Events calendar for details and registration.
