2014 Common Reading: The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

Why Elon supports the Common Reading program:

The Elon Common Reading Program (ECRP) challenges students, faculty, and staff to examine themselves and the local and global worlds they inhabit through reading. The readings and subsequent discussions encourage the Elon community to reflect on these important issues and how individual actions can aid in a cultural transformation.  In particular, this reading will prompt new students to consider diverse perspectives and become culturally aware of key issues that affect the world around them.
