Committee Members

The membership of the Common Reading Committee reflects the major audience for the reading, first-year students, and those most responsible for integrating it into curricular and co-curricular programs. The committee’s chair, the Director of General Studies, is responsible for recruiting other members. Committee members represent the areas in the First-Year Core where we expect the Common Reading will be used each year (General Studies 110 and English 110) and Elon 101. The Dean and Assistant to the Dean of Cultural and Special Programs serve on the committee because their office arranges major forums for discussing the book. Two students will be recruited to serve on the committee.

Current membership:

Chair, Director of General Studies Steve Braye
Elon 101 representative Becky Olive-Taylor
GST 110 representative Heidi Frontani
ENG 110 representative Jean Schwind
Dean of Cultural and Special Programs George Troxler
Assistant to the Dean Patti Gross
Students members none (Amy Duncan and Megan Backus, both sophomores, screened the common reading for 2006)
