Annually, a book is chosen as The University of Akron Common Reading Selection. This book is required reading for all incoming freshmen to UA. The Common Reading Selections are utilized in many of the general education courses throughout fall semester. You may purchase your copy of this year's Common Reading book at your on-campus Barnes and Noble bookstore in the Student Union, Polsky Building, or at the Wayne College Locations.
