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 MarymountManhattanCollege
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 bookwill 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.
