Join Students in Reading a New Addition to the Common Curriculum

EACH AUTUMN, Response introduces readers to a text taught in Seattle Pacific University’s Common Curriculum or University Scholars Curriculum. This year our featured text is a new work of nonfiction by award-winning journalist Sandy Tolan. It debuts on the reading list for Professor Don Holsinger’s Common Curriculum course, “The West and the World,” this quarter.

Response was pleased to offer a limited number of free copies of The Lemon Tree to those who wanted to join SPU students in reading the book. Response has now given away its entire supply. You can find the book in most bookstores, or order it online at barnesandnoble.com or amazon.com.

The SPU Office of Alumni Relations is organizing book discussion groups to talk about The Lemon Tree in various cities. For more information, visit www.spu.edu/alumni or call 206-281-ALUM .
