The University of Toledo

First Read

The First Read Program at The University of Toledo brings incoming students together to provide a common reading experience that will introduce students to a part of their academic life while developing a strong sense of community with their fellow students, faculty and staff both inside and outside the classroom. The activities that are generated through the First Read Program are designed to engage students, faculty and staff in stimulating and intellectual discussions in and out of the classroom, engage the campus community in projects, co-curricular activities and campus events related to the reading of the common text and strengthen reading, writing and critical thinking skills of all involved. The First Read Program is sponsored by the Office of Student Involvement and the Office of Dean of Students.
