  One of the many 'new' Whitman traditions is a summer reading assignment for First Year students to complete before arrival in Walla Walla. It provides an immediate foundation for shared experiences and is often supplemented by a campus visit and lecture by the author. This year's selection is Homebase by Shawn Wong, Professor of English at University of Washington and nationally recognized writer.Read more about Summer Homework For more information on Professor Wong visit http://depts.washington.edu/engl/people/profile.php?id=67 |
