Darwin’s On the Origin of Species brings the Case species together to celebrate
In honor of the two-hundred year anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, and the one-hundred and fiftieth anniversary of his book, On the Origin of Species, Case is throwing a yearlong celebration. The 2008-2009 school year will be themed around Darwin, beginning with the Common Reading Program. All first-year students will be reading David Quammen’s The Reluctant Mr. Darwin: An Intimate Portrait of Charles Darwin and the Making of His Theory of Evolution. Quammen will visit campus as the keynote speaker for Fall Convocation.
The Common Reading Program is a unique aspect of SAGES where all new undergraduate students share in the experience of reading the same work of literature the summer before entering Case. Many SAGES professors will later use the common reading as part of their course curriculum. Every year the Common Reading Selection Committee chooses a new book, and the author is invited to speak on campus during the fall semester.
