Why do you want to participate in the Scholars Program? (100 words or less)

 

Suppose you were in charge of selecting the Wartburg Readings in Common book, which aims to introduce first-year students to the critical reading process at the college level while engaging the entire Wartburg community in a deep consideration of essential human issues. This coming year at Wartburg is the Year of Celebrating the Liberal Arts, so the book you select must fit that criteria as well. Choose a book you would select for next summer's Readings in Common and write on why you selected it, making sure to address how it fits with the broader program goals of

* Encouraging broad intellectual engagement among members of the Wartburg community
* Emphasizing critical reading as an essential tool for academic inquiry
* Providing opportunities to discuss the challenges inherent in the human experience, including changing relationships, identities, and locations
* Focusing upon interdisciplinarity as a means to understand complexity and interconnectedness in the world
