Submit a proposal for the Fall 2020 Common Reader program, deadline July 15.

Book used for Fall 2019 Common Reader Experience

The Common Reader Experience eases incoming students’ transition to college through small-group discussion, curricular assignments, and co-curricular programming based around a single book. To that end, we are inviting the UNO community to nominate books for consideration for the Fall 2020 Common Reader.

The chosen text should:

  • Engage students' interest with wide-ranging and accessible themes
  • Provoke conversation and inquiry
  • Enable students to launch their academic careers successfully
  • Be in paperback by March of the calendar year in which the book will be used


Should you wish to nominate a text for 2020, please complete the online form. Nominations will be accepted through July 15, 2019.

For more information, please contact us at unocommonreader@unomaha.edu.
