The Composition Program in conjunction with the book-in-common program will be hosting a luncheon this Friday, April 22, 1:00-2:00 p.m., in Ekstrom 210.  We will be discussing this Fall's University Book-in-Common, *The Other Wes Moore* and discussing how this book will be used in freshmen orientation.  This year, rather than focusing primarily upon integrating the book in common into students' coursework, first-year initiatives will be encouraging the students to read the book over the summer and integrating activities and discussion about the book into orientation.  Composition instructors may wish to include activities or discussions in their classes based on the assumption that students are at least familiar with the text from orientation
activities; alternatively, instructors who wish to engage with the themes and activism this text supports more directly could assign it as a course text. 

Please RSVP to Linda (llbald01@louisville.edu) by Thursday afternoon at 3:00 p.m.  so we may order enough food.
