MMC 2010 Learning Communities Common Reading Program - Marjane Satrapi's The Complete Persepolis

Welcome Class of 2014

This is the second year that the entering freshman class at Marymount Manhattan College has participated in the Common Reading Program. This year the faculty, teaching staff, and administration at MMC chose the award-winning graphic memoir, The Complete Persepolis, by celebrated Iranian author and artist Marjane Satrapi. Last year's selection was Michael Pollan’s The Omnivore’s Dilemma. Students should read The Complete Persepolis before arriving at MMC in the fall and attend a faculty panel on the book during Orientation. This initial faculty-led dialogue about the book will set the stage for discussions in your Learning Community courses. Visit the “Study Guide” to help you as you read the book on your own, and be sure to check the “Events” page regularly for updates on related activities taking place on campus.
