The One Book Project is a common reader program
that is campus wide and involves students,
faculty, staff and the community where we
choose one book and read it campus wide.
A lot of professors use this in their classes
and adopt various lesson plan and it creates
convocations across campus with student, community
members and other faculties.
This semester the one book is I am Malala
which is a story about a young woman who is
shot by the taliban for pursuing her education,
it's actually very current it's something
that just happened several years ago.
We're also hearing in the media about the
taliban about terrarium at large now we have
not taliban per say but isis or isisal and
it really also focuses on we have at BCC a
lot of students who come from many different
countries and a lot of them are fleeing just
like Malala from political percussion wars
seeking a better life seeking access to education.
I think that what really made it pealing to
us and the community at large.
