Suggest the Next Great Campus Read for 2020-2021!
November 4–8, all-day
The Northwestern One Book program encourages all members of the Northwestern community to come together and read the same book for the school year. A year’s worth of programming is then carefully planned around this book. This year’s book was Hidden Figures by Margot Lee Shetterly. Now, it’s your chance to suggest the One Book for the 2020-2021 school year. Submit your suggestion to the One Book email. Book suggestions should include: title, author, number of pages, a short summary, and a brief description of why the book would make a great common read.
