The Book Selection Committee for the New Student Book Experience seeks nominations of potential books. The New Student Book Experience invites all students new to UMBC in the fall (freshmen and transfer students) to read the selected book and engage in formal and informal discussion of the book at the start of the school year. Any member of the UMBC community may nominate any book via the web or via e-mail containing the same information. More than one nomination may be submitted by the same person.
