Program Description

Each year, our SAS Honors Program faculty, staff, and students work together to choose a book for new SASHP students to read over the summer. We are pleased to announce that this year’s book is The Last Town on Earth by Thomas Mullen.

 

 

 

http://www.thomasmullen.net/book/

 

In July and August, you will begin a conversation about the book with faculty, staff and students on our SASHP Summer Reading Blog. At SAS Honors Orientation on Friday, August 28, 2009, we will have a lecture, book-signing, and reception with Mr. Thomas Mullen. The Last Town on Earth will also be the basis for the Fall 2009 Honors Colloquium course.
