Mission: The Texas A&M International University Common Read Program, known as Reading the Globe, is a University-wide initiative spearheaded by University College which unites students in an international and global reading experience reflective of TAMIU’s mission.
Since 2008, the Reading the Globe program, has had all First Year students read a book focused on an international topic. This book is read and discussed as part of the UNIV 1101 freshman seminar curriculum, Learning in a Global Environment I. The Common Read Program provides an opportunity for discourse about student-relevant issues and raises social awareness on a local and global scale.
Faculty and staff also participate in the Common Read, fostering and strengthening the growth of an intellectual University community and supporting students’ academic development. The Common Read Program develops an “Understanding of Society and Culture,” one of TAMIU’s Undergraduate Learning Principles.
