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 2025-2026 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. Date and time to be announced.
