Common Text ProgramGirl in Translation

The Common Text Program is an essential piece of your First Year Experience at Wright State. Discussed during your first year as part of your Learning Community and other courses, the Common Text will allow you to gain a better understanding of what it means to read actively and critically, make judgments about the validity of what you read, and discuss challenging, sometimes conflicting, ideas.
