One Book / One Campus is FSU's first-year shared-reading program. The program is designed to engage students in a community dialogue with faculty, administrators, and their peers as soon as they arrive on campus.

It is a University expectation that all first-year students will read the book after they are given a copy at orientation. Discussions, course assignments, and other activities centering around the book's themes and information will be introduced into the freshmen year - supporting critical thinking and college success.
