Engage

On the Same Page creates opportunities for new students to engage with each other and professors around a common theme, and to welcome new students into the vibrant intellectual community at Berkeley. Our program’s success depends on the efforts and contributions of our faculty, staff, and continuing students.

  • Include the book or some of the issues it raises in your courses this year, and let Aileen Liu know so that she can feature it on the website.
  • Teach a freshman seminar on a topic related to the book.
  • Volunteer to serve on the faculty planning committee. Members have expertise in the themes of this year’s book, and plan engaging events related to the book. Email Aileen Liu to express your interest.
  • Volunteer to serve on the selection committee. Members read widely to nominate texts to the long-list, read the long-list over the summer, and meet at the beginning of the fall term to narrow down the long-list to a shortlist. Email Aileen Liu to express your interest.
