The Common Read program is intended to give all incoming UNLV undergraduates a shared experience with a thought-provoking text. This year's Common Read is Tell Me Who You Are: A Road Map for Cultivating Racial Literacy by Winona Guo and Priya Vulchi. When Guo and Vulchi were still high school students, they visited all 50 states and discussed racial identity with people they met along the way. Tell Me Who You Are is both a compilation of those conversations and an introduction to fundamental diversity concepts.
The Common Read is intended to be a part of first-year orientation, first-year seminar, and first-year English. Instructors have discretion on how it is used in each class.
For questions about the Common Read program, contact Karen Violanti, Executive Director of the First Year Success Program.
