Now entering its third year, Reading Together: Learning, Caring, and Community at Lane, is an exciting year long, campus-wide project centered around something absolutely basic to education: READING. Through the mechanism of two closely linked books, we explore issues connected with our college’s core values: Learning, Diversity, Innovation, Collaboration and Partnership, Integrity, and Accessibility.

In conjunction with the 2005-06 theme, Circling Home: Stories and Sustainable Communities, Reading Together sponsors a year of activities centered around these books, including course involvement, performing arts productions, art exhibits, lectures, guest speakers, author visits, forums, films, student presentations, service projects, and more. Reading Together reaches across traditional borders—borders between campus employee and student groups; borders between disciplines; borders between different ways of learning, different life experiences, different areas of interest.
